How it works

Step 01:

Design

You’ll work with your knowledgeable website strategist to create an outline, choose a base theme, establish colours and fonts, and discuss your copy.

 

From there, your designer will create clickable design mockups for each page. You’ll get two rounds of revisions to make sure it’s all pixel perfect.

Step 02:

Develop

Next, we’ll develop your website using the latest version of WordPress and Elementor and following best practices for SEO and performance. You’ll receive a link to review your draft website.

 

Once you’ve approved it, we’ll perform final testing and prepare it for launch. Then, it’s go time.

Step 03:

Launch

After launch, you’ll get your website login and a training video. You’re now up and running.

 

Most clients choose us for website hosting, maintenance and support, but we never lock you in. We offer affordable packages that protect your investment and give you peace of mind.

When comparing WordPress websites (our Quick Launch Websites included) to platforms like Squarespace or Wix, the main difference lies in their underlying architecture and the level of control and ownership they offer. 

 

WordPress is a an open-source content management system (CMS). Think of it as a powerful, flexible framework that you use with your own choice of web hosting. This means you have complete ownership and control over your website’s files, database, and code. It also offers immense flexibility, allowing for virtually any kind of website, from a simple blog to a complex e-commerce store. 

 

Squarespace and Wix are all-in-one website builders that operate on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. This means you pay a subscription fee, and they provide hosting, templates, and drag-and-drop editors. While they offer templates and some customization, their flexibility is inherently limited compared to WordPress. You’re also locked into a monthly subscription fee, and if you want to leave, you essentially lose your website (or face difficult technical challenges to migrate it elsewhere).

 

About 40-60% of the world’s websites are built with WordPress. Squarespace and Wix websites makes up about 4-6%.

Yes! We offer WordPress hosting & maintenance services and on-demand website support.

We’ve been building fully-custom websites for over 6 years now. Many of these websites have hundreds pages and take 6-9 months to launch. We’ve mastered what it takes to deliver websites that are beautiful, feature-rich, and performance-driven–proven by the multiple website awards.

 

But along the way, we kept coming across the same challenge: smaller businesses were asking for our help. We could never quite figure out how to meet their budgets without compromising on quality. That’s until we developed our semi-custom service.

 

Now, we can deliver websites that draw on our years of experience, light us up creatively, and meet our high standards for performance websites. It’s truly a win-win.
