Our Racine Web Services

We are a complete website design firm with a large staff of internal web designers and ecommerce web developers. Our web development team is broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Looking for an affordable website? Your Racine business might be interested in a template website!

Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom theme for your website, we can search for a few website templates that match the look and feel you want in your next website or online store.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the theme you prefer, which we will then install on your development site.

Next, we will modify the template to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.

The starting price for a templated website development is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce web developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we like to start every Racine web development service from scratch.

Our team can create tailor-made mockups that adhere to your brand's unique specifications, providing a preview of your website's aesthetics before our website designers begin their work. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.

After you approve the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better website speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Racine organization.

The starting price for a custom website design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce website developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

3.) Website Maintenance

After the launch of your website, or if you have one, you might be interested in web maintenance services.

We think of website maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Racine business access to a website developer or ecommerce web designer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of website requests that Racine website maintenance firms might help with:

  • Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
  • Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
  • Adding new pages whenever you release something new.
  • Staying fresh with new blog content.
  • Rearranging the navigation menu of your Racine website.
  • Improving site performance to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
  • Making backups of your website's files and databases.
  • Changing the look and feel of your website.
  • Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage concerns.
  • Enhancing technical SEO with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
  • Investigating and solving any other website issue.
  • Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Racine, WI Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Racine website. Even though our top web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we only use WordPress for new content-based website projects. For ecommerce websites we use Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Racine and the greater Wisconsin area.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Racine, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized website design. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

  • You can add new functionality to your site through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
  • There's a huge community of WordPress contributors helping to make the platform more stable, secure, and scalable.
  • WordPress has a large following among expert web design companies and freelance website developers, helping ensure you can find a local Racine web designer to help you.

5 Steps to a Winning Website Project

2.) WooCommerce

If you want an ecommerce website using WordPress, you'll likely need a WooCommerce web designer in Racine.

Our WooCommerce web development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Racine build amazing stores with WooCommerce.

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:

  • If you need a custom theme with complex functionality, but have a limited budget, we often recommend WooCommerce. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
  • If your Racine business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
  • We often recommend WooCommerce for Racine businesses who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. If you want to use Shopify, you'll need a paid subscription for the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
  • WooCommerce is good if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

WooCommerce Development

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Racine, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around Wisconsin.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:

  • For Racine merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Racine without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
  • For Racine web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we often recommend Shopify. It's typically more expensive to develop custom functionality in Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
  • We often recommend Shopify for Racine ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing initiatives. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Racine, WI Website Designer

You should ask your prospective Racine website design or ecommerce development agency several questions before you get started. Here are some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce web design project:

  • Does the web designer outsource the project? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce website development projects for Racine businesses. We have our own internal team of USA web designers.
  • Will the website developers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Racine website makeover project.
  • Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Racine website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the site build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom website design service. If you opt for a template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
  • What platform does your Racine web designer use? Because of its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
  • How fast is your Racine website design service? It takes us about 2-3 months to finish custom web design projects, and 3-4 weeks to finish template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
  • Does the website development agency have experience with innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!

WebCitz designed our Alo Health website and did such a great job of walking us step-by-step through the process, knowing the tech world was not a strength of ours. We love that we are able to change content whenever we want, but if we run into problems, they are a quick email away. They have been responsive, reliable and efficient. Thanks, WebCitz!
