Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a website design agency in Tampa?
Web design agencies in Tampa come with all different price ranges. The cost of hiring an agency will depend on the scope and complexity of work you need done, as well as their level of expertise.
Factors like how much time they’ll be investing into your project, what kind of service you’re looking for (design or development), etc- it’s best to ask so that we know where to start from.
We recommend clear budget discussions upfront when working with any company––we won’t quote a project without knowing exactly what you want first :)!
We also offer free consultations if you’d prefer to discuss things over the phone before moving forward–just complete the form to discuss your digital project.
Do web designers need to be based out of Tampa?
Of course not! Web designers are located all over the world today which makes it easy for them to consult with clients anywhere they want. That said, if you require more hands-on service (e.g., meetings), then having someone nearby can make sense as well.
What does a web design agency do in Tampa?
Web designers create a website for clients. They will work with you to decide on what type of site is best for your needs (e.g., eCommerce, blog, portfolio), the look and feel/theme that matches your brand or industry’s standards, how it should be organized so users can easily navigate through it in order to find the information they need quickly––and more!
Web designers use HTML, CSS & other coding languages as well as various graphics programs like Photoshop or Sketch. If there are any issues we’ll let you know up front before moving forward so there are never unpleasant surprises down the line 🙂
Do I need someone to manage my newly built website?
It depends on the type of site you want to build.
A blog is a good example of something that doesn’t require ongoing management, as long as it’s able to be updated regularly––perhaps monthly or weekly with new posts and content. This can often be done by someone in-house at your company if they have some experience writing for an audience online.
An eCommerce store requires more ongoing attention: when products are added/removed from inventory, prices change, items need photographing and adding to the website so customers know what they’re looking at…etc., all while finding ways to increase traffic over time (by investing into marketing). If this sounds like too much work for one person then hiring a web design agency to build your store is a great idea.
What if I need help after my website has been built/launched?
No worries! Chances are there will always come up with something new or something we didn’t think about when building your website.
You’ll want to have someone on-hand that can help with anything from minor updates to more complex design projects, like when you need a blog built or adding eCommerce functionality after the fact.
If your company is based in the U.S. and needs an ongoing commitment for maintenance––we recommend hiring our team! We’re here for you 24/hrs a day, every single weekday of the year (including holidays) so there’s never any downtime if something goes wrong 🙂
What type of customers do web designers work best with?
Web designers are great for all types of customers: from small startups to large international brands. We have many different clients with a wide range of needs and budgets who we work with on an ongoing basis, in addition to new projects that come our way every day.
Do web designers charge by the hour or project?
It depends on how you hire them (e.g., hourly vs….). Some companies will provide fixed bids upfront so there’s no question about what it will cost when they’re done; others prefer working “by-the-hour” which means you’ll know their rate per hour but not up front the number of hours needed for your project.
Regardless, communication is key—it’s important to be transparent with your expectations so as not to waste time or money.
How much does it cost to hire a WordPress expert in Tampa?
This will depend on a few factors: the number of hours needed, how difficult it is to do what you want (e.g., new plugin needs created vs. editing existing content), and the industry standard for pricing in your area.
We have different rates depending on experience level, but generally we start at $100/hour which includes design work & assistance with additional tasks like writing or social media management.
If you’re not sure where to begin then our team can offer guidance based upon your budget and goals so there’s never any surprises 🙂
After my website is built, should I hire an SEO expert?
It depends on what you want to achieve:
If your goal is simply to rank higher in search engines like Google, then the answer is yes. SEO experts can help by making sure the most important content on your site is close to the top, there’s a balance of text and images, keywords are included for search terms you want traffic from, etc.
If you’re looking to generate more website visitors that turn into leads or customers then yes again! An SEO expert will know how to develop a strategy with tactics like press releases or guest blogging which often result in increased exposure and rankings over time.
Will my Tampa web designers build an eCommerce store?
Yes! We have many services we offer depending on what your needs are so it might be as simple as needing someone who installs WordPress themes and plugins (which may only take one hour) all the way up to building complex eCommerce stores that require more time.
Do web designers work on mobile-friendly websites?
Yes! We have expertise in designing and building sites that work on all devices (desktop, tablet and mobile).
I’m not sure who to hire. What are your best credentials?
We have a wide range of experience in marketing, branding & design so we’re ready for whatever you need!
We also focus heavily on customer service with our team available 24/hrs a day, every weekday of the year:)
Our specialties include WordPress plugin installations and customizations as well as website design projects like blog implementations or social media presence.
In addition to web designers being skilled at coding languages like HTML + CSS + JavaScript, they will be able to provide guidance about which platforms work best for different types of businesses.
What’s the difference between hiring an agency versus freelancers in Tampa?
Web design agencies have specialists in different areas of marketing, web design, and content and video creation. Freelancers often work on their own projects during the day but can take on a small job like designing your WordPress site or updating content once in a while if you need it done quickly.
What are some specific industries that benefit from hiring Tampa web designers?
Smaller businesses with limited budgets who want to start up new sites might be interested because they offer fixed bids upfront vs. hourly rates so there are never any surprises at the end of the project (even when projects come out longer than expected).
Large companies could also get benefits by having an agency manage all aspects of online presence, including website design, social media management & SEO.
Agencies can also help manage the stress of a project by ensuring you’re in constant contact with your web designer and they have someone on-hand to provide updates and feedback.
Do web designers in Tampa offer responsive website design?
Yes! As discussed, website design agencies in Tampa provide responsive site designs which are compatible with desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
How much does it cost to have a professional eCommerce designer build my store?
The average price for building an entire eCommerce from scratch can range anywhere between $5500-$25,000+ depending on what type of features you want.
We’ve seen businesses pay as little as $2,500 when they’re not looking for too many bells & whistles but there’s always the potential for longer projects to come out higher if more complex features like pop-ups, retargeting, social media integration, or custom programming is required.
What is a web designer’s typical process with a new customer?
Our general process usually begins with meeting you to discover your goals and needs. Then we’ll design the website, build it out, and launch!
We have freelancers who come in on an as-needed basis or full-time for managing all aspects of online presence, including social media management & SEO.
Agencies can also help manage the stress of a project by ensuring you’re in constant contact with your web designer and they have someone on-hand to provide updates and feedback.
Once everything launches, our team will continue working closely with clients via weekly meetings so that we stay transparent about what else might be coming up down the line.
