Our Web Design and Development Process
Discovery & Strategy
We learn your goals, customers, and current site. Then we define the scope, pick the right platform (custom, Shopify, or WordPress), and set a clear timeline and roadmap.
Design and Prototyping
We map the structure, build wireframes, and create clickable mockups of your key pages. You review and approve the design before any code is written.
Development and Testing
Our developers build your site in short sprints with regular progress updates. We test speed, mobile layouts, browsers, and forms so everything works before launch.
Launch, Support and Optimization
We launch your site, then track performance and fix issues. Ongoing support covers updates, security, speed improvements, and new features as your business grows.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does web development cost in San Francisco?
Basic business websites cost $5,000 to $15,000. Custom web development and eCommerce projects range from $20,000 to $100,000+, depending on features, integrations, and design.

A simple business website takes 4 to 6 weeks. eCommerce stores and custom web apps usually take 8 to 12 weeks, depending on features, integrations, and testing.
How do I choose a web development company in San Francisco?
Review past projects in your industry, ask who will work on your site, check Google and Clutch reviews, and compare timelines, quotes, and post-launch support.
What services does a web development company offer?
We cover UX design, front-end and back-end development, CMS setup, eCommerce, integrations, testing, and ongoing support, so one team handles your site from mockup to launch.
What’s the difference between web design and web development?
Web design covers layout, branding, and user experience. Web development is the code behind it: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, back-end logic, and integrations that make pages work and load fast.
Do you build eCommerce websites?
Yes. We build Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento stores with product pages, secure checkout, payment gateway integrations, and fast mobile performance for DTC and consumer brands.
Should I hire an agency or a freelance web developer?
A freelancer suits small, simple sites. An agency fits projects needing design, development, testing, and support together, and keeps work moving if one person is unavailable.
Can you redesign or improve my existing website?
Yes. We audit speed, mobile layout, navigation, and conversion issues, then redesign or rebuild what’s holding the site back, using redirects to protect your current SEO rankings.
