Web Site Design & Development Services

It’s Not All We Do – But It’s A LOT of What We Do…

Web design encompasses an awful lot of disciplines. There’s the design. Then, there’s the development. Throw in search engine optimization, inbound marketing, email marketing, PPC, social media, reputation management, ecommerce, squeeze pages and you have a recipe for a lot of ins and outs and what-have-yous.

While we are designers first and foremost, we back up that design acumen with a great technical knowledge and development skills.

We can take your idea and see it through to a pixel-perfect site. We can host it for you. We can market it for you. We’ve got all the bells and whistles covered.

WordPress Design & Development

More About Our WordPress Design & Development

We design and develop custom WordPress and WooCommerce solutions. CUSTOM. That means your site is as unique as your business. You don’t get a theme that’s been tweaked a little – you get a full-on custom designed theme to call your very own. If you’re on a very tight budget, we can always look at minor modifications to an existing WordPress theme. That way, you get a good-looking site that will work with your other collateral, and you save a bit of dough.

Ecommerce with WordPress? You bet. WordPress, when combined with WooCommerce, gives you an incredibly flexible website with a fully enterprise-level ecommerce system. It connects seamlessly with your bank and with most point of sale systems and book keeping software – and keeping up with inventory, customers, orders and shipping is simple and streamlined. Your site and your store – all in one place.

With 58%+ of users solely using mobile devices (pads, tablets, netbooks, phones, etc.) to use the internet, you MUST have a site that looks and functions properly on all of those devices. That’s responsive web design. It “responds” to the screen size. We do that – and we build your site to look great, no matter the device.

We can also develop mobile-only applications and/or plugins that will present a different site to users if they’re on those devices. So, you can have one site for the desktop users, and one site for mobile users. You can easily control both (especially if you opt for a WordPress site,) and the info you need to present is always good-looking and easy to consume.

What’s best for you? That’s a good question. Some businesses will benefit more from a truly responsive design, whereas some businesses would do better with a stand-alone mobile site. Give us a shout, and we’ll help you decide which one is a match for you.

One thing, though – don’t ignore that 58%. It’s growing, and you really don’t want to waste over half of your possible traffic.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) helps your website get noticed on search engines like Google. It’s not that complicated (though some people will sell you on the idea it is,) but it’s massively important.

It’s all about making your site easier to find by optimizing content, keywords, and technical elements so you rank higher in search results.

The goal is to attract more organic (non-paid) traffic and boost your visibility.

Blue Dozen helps with choosing the right keywords, improving site speed and creating engaging and SEO-friendly content – all to help YOU stand out in the crowded online world.

Branded Email

Having branded email (you@yourdomainname.com) makes your whole email process nice and professional looking. We can set up to host your email, add in some pretty robust spam filters, and get it all running smoothly on your office machines, laptops and mobile devices. We’ll help you set it up – even if it’s not on our server.

Plus, we’re happy to help you set up Google Workspace so that you have all the strength of Google’s offerings with the slick custom branded email addresses. From single users to full teams – we’ll get you up and running.

If you’ve got a site, you’re going to need hosting.

We can help you properly set up and optimize your hosting. While we don’t actually host client sites*, we have experience with damned near every host out there – and we know what to look for and how to make it really sing.

If you’re looking for a place to host your site – we can help there, too. We’ve got a stable of trusted partners and we’re more than happy to get you set up so that your site and hosting are the best they can be.

*Not a lot of people actually host websites. Almost NO web designers/developers actually host sites. They simply farm it out to the companies that spend millions (billions) on data centers, then pass it along to you at a markup. We don’t do that. We’d prefer that YOU own your server, so that if something happens to us (it could happen,) you have all the keys you pay for. Plus, you pay less and have more control. That’s a win/win.

Website Repair & Upgrades

We get this fairly often. You have a site, it was built by someone who went out of business or that you didn’t get along with – and now you’ve got some issues.

You might be showing errors, you may have lost access to the editor, you may need to move some stuff around – or even just finish your site.

We do that. Usually. Sometimes, depending upon the issue or the need, it makes more sense to start from scratch and build it right. But, there are also plenty of cases where we’re able to go in and make a few tweaks, and everything works again.

No matter what you’ve got going on, we’d love to have a chat about your website and see where we can make improvements and get your site on the right track. Or back on track. Something about tracks.

Website Emergency Services

Screws fall out all the time. The world(wide web) is an imperfect place.

Got trouble with your website? We can (usually) help. Unfortunately, we’ve seen a LOT of broken sites with all sorts of issues – bad PHP, outdated software, coding errors, hacks… you name it, we’ve seen it. Give us a jingle and we’ll do a bit of triage and see what we can do to get you back up and running and humming.
