      DDC has been an excellent partner since we engaged with them in 2023. The DDC team worked with us to completely redesign our website and work to provide ongoing digital marketing services. The DDC team has been responsive, proactive, and thorough with their work. They are also very transparent about how they operate and how much time special projects will require. We have referred DDC to several clients and partners thanks to their outstanding process and product. DDC is a very professional, creative, and well-organized team.

      My experience working with Design in DC was incredible. Everyone was friendly, approachable, and seemed to genuinely care about helping create the best possible website for my business. They were also invested in making sure the process was one in which I enjoyed and felt taken care of. The regular meetings made me feel like I was a priority and that progress was continually being made. I so appreciated the attention to detail in regards to the user experience. The collaboration in understanding my wishes and desires for the website and user experience was met with patience and paying attention to detail on my behalf. Not only were they taking my suggestions but offering their own to help me maximize the potential of my website. The design and functionality is more than what I could have imagined. I know, undoubtedly, that the work that Design in DC did for me will help my business grow. After wasting money in years past on website designers, I was worried I'd be doing hte same here. I was wrong. I don't think I'll ever need to search for another website designer group again. I would recommend this group to anyone I know. Thank you, Design in DC! It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you!

      We can't possibly recommend Use All Five enough! Our office came to the Use All Five team wishing to redesign and overhaul our website, which greatly needed functional and structural upgrades. From the get-go, Kara, Michelle, Levi, and their whole team were kind, supportive, and communicative with all of our questions and concerns. Moreover, they were endlessly inventive with their ideas, recommendations, and overall approach (not to mention always willing to be flexible and work within our budget). They took in all of our feedback and needs, and then masterfully incorporated our requests into a product that went beyond our greatest expectations. The resulting website was nothing short of amazing: featuring dynamic, wonderful colors, ease of navigation, and accessibility for all users. We're so lucky to have worked with Use All Five, and cannot wait to collaborate with them again in the future!

      We worked with Use All Five on the redesign of our flagship site. It was an incredibly complex project and website with a large number of stakeholders, but UA5 managed it all with ease, grace, organization, and good humor. The site they created for us was gorgeous, and we continue to work with them on ongoing maintenance. I was incredibly thankful to have them as partner on this undertaking and really couldn't have imagined doing it without them. Would highly recommend their services.

They built us a custom Shopify-based solution that perfectly captured our brand aesthetic while delivering powerful functionality. The team's technical expertise and creative vision resulted in a website that not only looks incredible but also drives conversions. Since launch, we've seen a substantial boost in online sales and received numerous compliments from customers about the user experience. Use All Five proved to be reliable, innovative, and genuinely invested in our success. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

      Web Development Review from Jeff Peters

      Before finding Greg Hatch and True Market Media, we went through a few other web design companies, and every experience was a disaster. We'd end up with a huge bill and a site riddled with broken features and broken English. It was beyond frustrating. So when it came time to try again and finally replace our 10-year-old DIY website, we were honestly a little skeptical going in. Greg and his team completely changed our expectations. They were highly recommended by several people I know who own or operate well-respected businesses in Alberta, but, given past experiences, I still had some trepidation. They put those worries to rest after our first meeting. They took the time to understand our business, communicated clearly throughout the process, and delivered a website that is both highly functional and genuinely beautiful. The difference in quality is night and day. If you've been burned by other web developers before, or are simply looking for a top-notch website, do yourself a favour and call True Market Media. We couldn't be happier.

      If you're looking for a website design company that can take your online presence to the next level, look no further than True Market! From the very start, Greg and his team impressed me with their professionalism and attention to detail. Their experienced designers and developers worked closely with Beck to understand our unique needs and goals, and they were always available to answer any questions we had along the way. The end result was a website that far exceeded our expectations. The design was sleek and modern, with a user-friendly interface that made it easy for visitors to navigate and find the information they needed. But what really set True Market apart was their commitment to customer service. They went above and beyond to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the final product, and were available for any additional questions we may have had. Overall, I would highly recommend True Market to anyone looking for a website design company that truly cares about its clients. With their expertise, creativity, and dedication to quality, they are sure to take your online presence to the next level!

      We approached Growth Accelerators with zero online visibility and the team truly partnered with us in not just optimising our site for SEO but also enhancing it for better conversions. Their local SEO strategies helped our firm appear in relevant searches on Google and we started getting genuine client inquiries within the first few months. They worked on our Google Business Profile and developed content for our website. The team was proactive, transparent, and most importantly results driven. We highly recommend them to any service based business looking to grow locally.

Frequently Asked Questions About Website Design Companies

What services do web design agencies offer?

Web design agencies provide a range of services to plan, create, and improve business websites. Their core services include: 

  • Custom website design tailored to your brand and goals 
  • Responsive web design to ensure the site works on desktop, tablet, and mobile 
  • UI/UX design to make the site easy to use 
  • Website development to turn designs into functional websites 
  • Landing page design for campaigns and conversions 
  • Website redesign to improve outdated or underperforming sites 

Beyond these core services, many web design companies also support digital marketing, including search engine optimization, content marketing, and email marketing to help improve visibility in search engines and attract potential customers.  

Some also offer brand identity, graphic design, and ongoing web design services like maintenance, updates, and performance improvements to strengthen your online presence over time. 

How much do website design companies charge for their services?

Professional web design services typically cost $5,000 to $60,000+. Basic business websites may range from $5,000 to $15,000, custom websites from $15,000 to $30,000, and complex or e-commerce projects from $30,000 to $60,000+. Costs depend on scope, customization, features, and development needs.

How long does it take to build a website?

A typical website design company timeline ranges from a few days to several months, depending on scope, content readiness, and required web development. 

  • Simple brochure website (1 to 5 pages): 1 to 2 weeks  
  • Small business website (5 to 15 pages, blog, forms): 4 to 8 weeks  
  • eCommerce website (standard features, 10 to 100 products): 8 to 16 weeks  
  • Large-scale custom website (bespoke features, integrations): 4 to 6+ months 
  • Custom web application: 6 to 12+ months  

Most delays come from two things: missing content (copy, images, product data) and an unclear scope that expands during the web design project.  

If content is ready and approvals are fast, timelines compress. If content is late and feedback is slow, timelines stretch. 

What are the hidden costs of web design?

Hidden web design costs usually show up in two phases: before launch and after launch. 

Pre-launch hidden costs 

  • Stock photos, fonts, and premium plugins (one-time fees plus renewals) 
  • Scope creep and extra revisions beyond what the contract includes 
  • Content creation (copywriting, product descriptions, graphics) 
  • Content migration from an old site (formatting, redirects, image cleanup) 
  • Integrations (CRM, booking, payments, analytics) that require extra setup and testing 

Post-launch hidden costs 

  • Web hosting and domain renewal (often increases as traffic grows) 
  • SSL certificate upgrades for ecommerce or higher trust requirements 
  • Website maintenance and security (updates, backups, monitoring, fixes) 
  • Email hosting (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 per user) 

These costs appear because a website build quote often covers only the core design and development. Anything tied to licensing, content production, ongoing ownership, or changes outside the original scope gets billed separately unless the statement of work includes it. 

What is the difference between web design and web development?

Web design defines the visual interface and user experience of a website, while web development implements that design through code and technical functionality.

  • Back-end systems and databases 
  • Integrations, security, and performance 
  • CMS setup and custom functionality 

What should I ask before hiring a web design company?

Ask about relevant experience, project scope, timelines, revision limits, ownership of design files, mobile optimization, and post-launch support. Also clarify who will work on the project and how progress will be communicated.
