Website Design and Development Services We Offer

We recognize that every business has unique needs for establishing an online presence. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we offer an array of customized web design and development services tailored to help you meet your specific digital goals.

Let’s scroll through our web design services: 

Custom Web Design

Our custom web design skills help breathe life into your brand visually. We handle everything from logo designing, font, and color scheme design to crafting page layouts, visual assets, and user interface elements that aesthetically represent your business and engage your audience. 

Our designers optimize websites to drive conversions while sticking to your brand guidelines. We create original designs, no templates, with care to reflect your authentic brand identity online!

Web Development

On the web development side, our expert programmers build robust, feature-rich websites and web applications designed to be accessible, functional, and technically sound. We use modern web development frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue paired with cloud databases and content management systems as per your needs.

All code is handwritten, featuring clean semantics and optimized performance. We architect the front end and back end to be scalable, stable and secure as your web presence grows.

Ecommerce Store Development

E-commerce requires combining design, development, and conversion optimization competencies for sales-driving results. We design sleek, professional e-commerce sites that make products shine with engaging copy and quality photography. We ensure fast and seamless checkouts across devices.

We implement robust platforms like Shopify and Magento for enterprise needs, enabling complex catalog, inventory, and fulfillment management at scale. Optimizing conversion funnels from product research to checkout is key.

Umbraco Development, Optimization & Maintenance

Umbraco is a popular open-source CMS platform built on .NET. Our team of experienced Umbraco developers can build new websites on Umbraco from scratch or migrate your existing site to Umbraco. 

We stay up-to-date on the latest Umbraco releases and best practices to build secure, optimized Umbraco websites with a beautiful UI and intuitive content management workflow. 

ASP.NET Development 

Our ASP.NET developers have years of experience building custom web applications on the ASP.NET framework. We utilize best practices and the latest Microsoft technologies like ASP.NET Core to build robust, scalable web apps with C# and .NET. 

Whether you need a customer portal, online store, SAAS app, or internal business application, our ASP.NET developers can architect, code, and deploy complex web apps to meet your unique needs. We use test-driven development and agile methodologies to deliver high-quality solutions on time and budget.

Website Migrations

Migrating an outdated website to a new platform requires technical expertise to ensure minimal disruption. Our team migrates websites of all sizes and complexity levels – whether you’re moving from an old CMS to WordPress/Drupal or upgrading from ASP.NET Web Forms to ASP.NET Core. 

We follow a structured migration process, including planning, design, content migration, testing, cutover, and post-launch support. Trust us to handle your website migration seamlessly from start to finish so you can focus on business goals while we transition you to a better, more scalable website platform.

Content Management Systems

For companies needing frequent website content updates, our custom Content Management Systems streamline editing while enhancing SEO. We tailor-build user-friendly CMS tools for non-technical users to update pages and blog posts in real time without specialized training while respecting security protocols. This facilitates adapting messaging as your business offerings expand over time.

Our Web Design and Development Process

We follow a proven process to ensure we design and develop exactly what you need to meet your digital marketing objectives:

Step #1 Research & Discovery Phase

The research and discovery phase is crucial for truly understanding our clients’ needs. We start by conducting interviews with our client’s key stakeholders to comprehend their business goals and challenges. We’ll analyze your website metrics and KPIs to understand what’s currently working.

We’ll then take a close look at analytics data to identify user behaviors. We’ll also evaluate search engine optimization and keywords to determine how visitors find the site. Our web design consultants may conduct expert reviews to pinpoint UX issues. And we’ll study your competitor sites to analyze the wider market landscape. Ultimately, we compile those findings into a strategic brief that guides the whole project.

Step #2 Information Architecture & Site Mapping

Now that we intimately understand our client’s business and audience needs, we can start structuring the site content and layout. Information architecture is like building a blueprint for the site content. We categorize and organize content in a way that makes intuitive sense for users to find what they need better. We create site maps and flow diagrams visualizing the content hierarchy across pages.

Templating out the different content types allows us to plan for consistency in content presentation. Next, our experts optimize the information architecture for on-page SEO elements like metadata, URLs, and linking structures baked in.

Step #3 Design Concepts & Mockups

With the information architecture established, our talented web design team starts bringing the site vision to life visually. We begin by looking at competitive sites, industry trends, and brand style guides to inspire the visual direction. Our designers sketch out page concepts for discussion and feedback first before getting into digital wireframes showcasing a few different page layout options.

We believe presenting multiple design directions lets us have a thoughtful strategic discussion on what works best for meeting stated business goals balanced with user experience needs. After collective buy-in on the layouts, we start iterating on higher-fidelity visual mockups, applying colors, brand elements, imagery, and all the finishing touches needed to bring the client’s brand to life digitally.

Step #4 Development & Programming

Now, our expert development team has started actively building the site and technical foundation using the approved designs. We hand-code the pages using modern semantic HTML markup for accessibility and SEO. We write modular CSS, keeping stylesheets lean and fast to load. Then, our developers sparingly add any necessary interactivity with JavaScript and jQuery to enable polished user experiences without “overengineering.”

Everything passes through code reviews, security checks, and testing frameworks, ensuring we build to modern web standards for performance and scalability as sustainable long-term solutions.

Step #5 Testing & Deployment

Before officially launching any website, we perform rigorous quality assurance testing to maximize stability and client confidence. We test functionality like forms, integrations, payments, and key site interactions to make sure everything works as intended. Then, we check visual styling and make sure that messages are rendered correctly across different browsers.

Our team of top web developers then checks whether the site is fully responsive, resizing beautifully on all device sizes and mobility scenarios. We enable safeguards for site security vulnerabilities. Moreover, we check for broken links and invalid codes and optimize web performance, like page load speeds, based on real user conditions. And we configure all hosting and environments to be production-ready for a smooth launch.

Step #6 Post-Launch Support

Our work continues well after a site launches. We review analytics closely tied back to the originally stated goals to ensure the website delivers business impact. We have ongoing digital marketing efforts like SEO to nurture more organic growth over time slowly. We monitor site uptime and speeds with external monitoring, providing peace of mind.

Not only that, but we also revisit security and integrations to update outdated vendors or patch any new issues that arise. Plus, we train clients to manage the site directly via CMS tools for self-sufficient content updates. With open communication channels, we troubleshoot whatever issues ultimately surface so problems get resolved promptly for seamless long-term website success.

Ultimately, we make the entire web design and development process transparent and collaborative—you’re involved each step of the way.
