Frequently asked questions
Whether we suggest building in wix, wordpress or shopify depends a lot on what you website's functionality needs are.
In general, we suggest Wix for sites that are mostly informational and will not require any advanced functionality because they are cheaper to build, great on mobile devices, and do not require ongoing support and maintenance. In short - they don't break over time and are easy for you to manage yourself.
Wordpress sites are good for businesses who need more advanced functionality (e.g. subscriber-only areas, etc.). Sometimes a client is already on Wordpress and wants to stay there - and that is fine too! Wordpress is good for SEO and SEM efforts, but does require regular upkeep to work smoothly and is harder for non-technical staff to update.
Shopify is a great option for companies that are commerce-first. We also build custom sites for database-heavy companies.
We start every project with a whiteboard meeting to discuss who is coming to your website, what they need to know about you, how you are marketing the site, etc.
From there, we build out a wireframe that shows every page as a series of boxes, calls to actions, and key messages.
Then comes content - we can provide full copywriting services or can work with someone on your team.
Finally, we design and code the site. We start with one page to make sure you are happy and then develop the rest of the site.
