Website Design Services

Whether you’re starting a new business, growing an established company, or moving into a different kind of market, it’s worth the time and effort to start your website design and development project with our onboarding process.

Here is where we research your industry and competitors. We analyze your business, services/products, and website data; confront your pain points head-on; and fill in opportunity gaps that match your defined goals.

We’ve built an entire web design process and methodology around this because we have the understanding of business goals and the path it takes to not only achieve them but reach beyond them. Before starting any design work, we go through an efficient onboarding process where competitor research is conducted, market analysis is compiled, business discovery is performed, and we have a goal-setting meeting with you and your team. This assures a solid foundation is set up and success has a platform to depend on as your business grows.

73% of companies invest in professionals to design their website and help their brand stand out from competitors. When you hire a freelance web designer, you typically get a decently designed website but they lack the marketing aspect to turn it into a sales-generating machine. When you do it yourself through a website builder, it usually takes 10x longer and never looks as good as it does in the commercials.

At Tag Marketing, you benefit from a team of sales and marketing professionals who have decades of experience in web development, website and UX design, SEO, inbound marketing strategies, and traditional advertising. So instead of only getting a nice-looking site, you are actually getting a growth-driven engine that becomes your best employee.

I know what you are thinking, hiring an agency sounds like the best option but what does it cost? The price of a website designed by a freelancer is about the same price as hiring an agency. When you factor in time and lost business by not investing in the best option, you realize the hard way that DIY website builders and freelancers actually cost you more in the long run.

A content management system, or CMS, is a software system that provides tools for web authoring, collaboration, and administration. If you’ve heard of WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal, then you’ve heard about the most popular content management systems out there today.

Typically, this system includes a database for content storage, meta-data, customer info, and other types of valuable information.

The advantage of using a CMS is the control one has over a dynamic collection of web materials through the use of templates, plugins, widgets, and editor tools. Content is usually kept separate from the visual presentation of the site, which makes it quick and easy to edit and adjust. Your CMS website can be edited by yourself (novice users) or by a professional (advanced user). The CMS usually receives regular updates keeping the site current and secure.

Did you know that 71% of users are unlikely to return to a website they had trouble viewing, and 40% will never shop at that business again? It’s important to your business to make sure your potential or existing customers have the best experience while viewing your website on mobile devices. Not only is a smaller screen size a factor, but so is easy navigation and fast loading times. While both a mobile site and a responsive website address these factors, there are notable differences.

A mobile site is basically a copy of a website that has its own URL and is completely independent of the full site. This is the old way of doing things before responsiveness really took off and began super flexible. The advantage was a separate mobile website that gave you control over the content displayed and gave the user a choice to view your mobile or full desktop version. Also, you were able to SEO the mobile site separately and target solely mobile users. However, it was a huge headache and became very expensive to maintain two separate websites.

Responsive web design uses one website and fluidly adjusts the elements on a webpage to fit different screen sizes. Manageability, it is much easier, not only in terms of content but with respect to SEO as well. But if not properly built and managed, responsive designs can lead to increased page sizes and load times. Responsive design has come a long way and completely dominates the market today. In fact, our company doesn’t even design separate mobile websites anymore.

Yes. We have professional copywriters available to help develop compelling content that will raise your brand’s awareness, educate and engage your audience, and sell your products or services. They have the expertise to write 100% unique copy (we use a plagiarism tool to verify) that appeals to your target audience with the goal of converting them into paying customers or clients. The content they craft will be so compelling that other people will want to share and promote it. This, in turn, increases your online authority and helps your website’s SEO and organic rankings.

Since you own the rights to this copy, it can be used in other marketing materials.

The timeline for your website project will vary depending on the size and complexity of the site being developed. We break down our timeline into milestones to keep your project on track to ensure the launch date, that we predetermined with you, is met.

We don’t like wasting time, so we begin each project immediately. After all, time is money for both of us. Depending on the size and scope of the website project, turnaround times will vary. Smaller responsive sites with few revisions and speedy client cooperation can take a couple of weeks. Whereas larger websites with lots of revisions, custom development, intensive copywriting, and clients with a busy schedule, can take on average 30 days or more. We can move as fast as needed and pride ourselves on expediting websites to meet your deadlines.

The design phase is an iterative process. We offer visualizations and mockups of each custom templated page to ensure that your website’s design, functionality, and user experience align with your goals. This phase is really a collaborative effort and we welcome your feedback and additional ideas for your design. At this point, we usually allow for up to 2 revisions to the mockups.

Once the final mockups are approved, we don’t waste any time getting started on the development phase. Our team will start cutting up the images and hard-coding your custom website page templates to make them look and function as planned. We understand that minor changes are not unusual going from static to dynamic, but we will need your approval on responsiveness and functionality in order to build out the rest of the webpages. Any major requests made after this, or after the site has been completed, will incur additional charges and be brought to your attention beforehand so you’re not taken off guard.

You do! Plain and simple.

Yes. If you don’t already have a web host or need a better hosting provider that can handle your new site’s storage space and traffic bandwidth, we can offer you hosting services that will maximize your site’s performance and loading speeds. Same with professional email hosting, domain privacy, and SSL certificates.

Yes, we do. We’ll advise you on the best URL for your website based on our analysis. We also offer domain privacy and SSL certificates.
