by local web designers who proudly create world-class websites in our own city of Nanaimo, British Columbia, on the one and only Vancouver Island, Canada.
Webacom Media Corporation began in Nanaimo in 1995 and has created over 3500 web designs since our beginnings. Creating websites for so many customers in nine countries around the world has provided us with the experience required to provide the right web design solutions that increase your market share both locally and internationally if required.
Editing a website and feeding your website with new content is crucial to the success of any given website. Word Press is one of the most popular website editors with over 50 million downloads.
Word Press is what we call “open source”. What that means is the code is free, yet programmers around the world can create add-on modules (plug-ins) like newsletters, Blogs, shopping carts, membership websites, and more. We highly recommend non-proprietary website editors like Word Press as it allows expansion with minimum investment.
Be extremely cautious if any web design company is trying to sell you a proprietary website editor. It means you will be very limited as to the expansion of your website as well as being locked in with only one company. We prefer our customers stay with us due to the quality of service, not because they are forced to.
There are two types of website design services, custom or pre-designed templates or themes. A custom web design is 100% created from scratch and is designed based on your current or new branding. Custom web designs are all unique and owned by the individual owner. Custom website design is usually best as no other company website will look like yours. The investment for custom website design is often 30-50% more than a pre-designed web template primarily due to the time it takes to create the web graphics from scratch.
A pre-designed web design or template has already been created by a designer and you in essence rent the website. It’s usually a one-time fee only and other companies may use the same design unless you buy out the rights to use the web design exclusively.
Webacom understands that not all budgets are the same for various companies and as a result, we offer both custom and pre-designed Word Press Themes or templates. We offer thousands of pre-designed Word Press Themes to choose from.
