Quick answer
What does a web design and development company do?
A web design and development company plans, designs, and builds your website: the structure and content, the visual design, the code, and the setup behind it like hosting, domains, forms, and analytics. A good one also builds for search engines and AI search, makes the site fast on phones, and supports it after launch.
Los Angeles IT designs and builds websites for Los Angeles businesses from our Century City headquarters, mostly on WordPress and Shopify. New sites are quoted after a discovery call, smaller jobs are $95 per hour, and ongoing website management is $250 per website per month.

DIY Website Builders vs. a Professionally Built Site
Website builders are fine to start. Here's what changes when a site is planned and built for your business.
| Professional build | DIY website builder | |
|---|---|---|
| Design | ✓ Built around your brand and customers | Shared template |
| Search and AI visibility | ✓ Structured data and local SEO built in | Basic settings |
| Speed | ✓ Tuned for Core Web Vitals | Often slow on phones |
| Integrations | ✓ Forms connected to CRM and email | Limited to the builder's apps |
| Ownership | ✓ You own the site and content | Locked into the platform |
| Support | ✓ Managed after launch | You're on your own |
How It Works
Our Web Design Process
A clear process from first call to launch, with your approval at each step.
STEP 01
Discovery
We learn your business, customers, competitors, and goals, and review your current site and rankings.
STEP 02
Sitemap & design
We plan the pages and content, then design the look on key pages for your approval.
STEP 03
Build & test
We build the site, connect forms and analytics, and test on phones, tablets, and desktops.
STEP 04
Launch & grow
We launch with redirects in place, submit to Google, and manage the site afterward.
Pricing
How Much Does a Website Cost in Los Angeles?
The cost of a website depends on how many pages and templates it needs, whether you sell online or take bookings, how much content we write, and what it connects to. We quote new websites after a discovery call so the price matches the actual scope, and smaller design or development jobs are $95 per hour.
After launch, website management is $250 per website per month for updates, backups, edits, and light SEO.
What affects the price
- Number of pages and templates
- E-commerce or booking
- Copywriting and photography
- Integrations with other systems
- Migrating an existing site

Redesigns
Redesigning Without Losing Your Rankings
A redesign is the easiest time to lose search traffic. Before we change anything, we record which pages rank and bring in leads, keep or redirect every URL, carry over the content that works, and check rankings after launch.
We use the same process on our own site, rebuilding page by page and tracking rankings in Semrush as we go.
Redesign safeguards
- Ranking pages mapped first
- 301 redirects for every changed URL
- Content that ranks carried over
- Post-launch ranking checks
Platforms
WordPress, Shopify, or Custom?
WordPress is the best fit for most service businesses: flexible, easy for staff to edit, and strong for SEO. Shopify suits stores that want simple, reliable checkout, and WooCommerce works when a store needs to live inside WordPress.
If you need customer logins, scheduling, quoting, or internal tools, a custom web application may be the better choice. We'll recommend the platform that fits, not the one we prefer to build.
Quick guide
- Service business: WordPress
- Online store: Shopify or WooCommerce
- Portals and tools: custom web app
- Large content sites: WordPress
