Choosing
Should you choose WordPress, a custom site or a website builder?
Start with the editing work. WordPress suits a team that publishes often and wants to change most of the site itself. Its plugins offer a wide choice of functions, although the site needs regular updates to stay secure. Decide who will take responsibility for those updates as well as who will add new content.
A custom-coded Next.js site suits a business that wants fast pages, tight security and a design without template limits. It gives you more freedom over the design, while structural changes are generally work for a developer. We recommend WordPress or a custom site after learning how your team works and what it needs to change.
A hosted builder such as Wix, Squarespace or Webflow suits a small site that you want to run alone. The trade-off is less control over code and speed. If you move away from the builder later, the site might need a rebuild, so consider how much freedom you expect to need before choosing it.
Local
What Des Moines organisations need from a website
Insurance, financial services and publishing businesses form part of the Des Moines business base. For an insurance or financial services firm, the sitemap and page structure need to make services clear and give visitors a route to make an enquiry. A publisher also needs a plan for its content: agree who owns the page structure and who will keep the material current.
The city is also home to the main campuses of Drake University, Grand View University and Mercy Health Sciences University. An organisation presenting programmes and information to prospective students needs pages that are easy to follow and a clear contact route. We set up contact forms to reach the right inbox, with click-to-call or WhatsApp where useful.
Rules
What a United States website project needs to handle
For a business open to the public, accessibility needs a place in the brief. US Department of Justice guidance says the ADA covers goods and services offered on the web and identifies WCAG as helpful guidance. We agree an accessibility target with you, then set up the page designs against that target. WCAG groups its criteria into A, AA and AAA levels, and the W3C encourages use of the latest version.
How it runs
How your website project runs with us
We are a studio in India and work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India time is 10h30m (Eastern) to 13h30m (Pacific) ahead of the mainland US in winter, and 1 hour less during daylight saving time. The shared board gives you a place to leave feedback across that time difference.

Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
A small set of materials helps us understand what the site needs to say and do.
- Your logo in SVG, AI or EPS format, plus your colours and fonts, or a note that these still need creating.
- Your services or products, ranked by business priority.
- Sites you like and dislike, with a reason for each choice.
- Photos of your team, premises and finished work; book a photo shoot ahead if needed.
- Your main goal, such as quote requests or job applications, and who handles each enquiry.
- Case studies, permitted client logos, testimonials, certifications and memberships in one folder.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timing of a website
The scope and readiness of your materials shape the work involved.
Content readiness
Copy and photos ready to publish keep the scope smaller; copywriting, photography or translation add work.
Content ownership
Decide who writes each section early. Gathering service descriptions, biographies, case studies and photos often takes longer than approving a design.
Editing setup
A separate content editor paired with a custom front end suits heavy editing, but adds parts to host and maintain.
Real copy
Supplying headings and paragraphs before design approval reduces the risk of having to rework layouts made around placeholder text.
Final checks
Set aside work for proofreading every page, submitting each form and confirming who receives its messages before launch.

Questions
Asked by businesses in Des Moines
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to get a website built?
There is no fixed price. The main drivers include features such as booking or a CRM connection, the amount of content to move from an old site, and whether your logo and style guide are ready. We send you a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Is it worth investing in website development?
It is worth considering when your site needs to turn visits into enquiries that your team can act on. Set a measure for that work: track form submissions, calls and WhatsApp clicks as conversions in analytics, then check which pages those enquiries started from.
What is included in the website build?
The build includes development, an editor and launch setup. We use Next.js or WordPress and provide an editor your team can use for pages, news, projects and careers. At handover, we walk your team through the site and its domain, email, analytics and Search Console setup.
Will I own the website after it is built?
Yes. You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. Hold the domain and hosting accounts in your business’s name and grant access to the people working on the site. That keeps control of the accounts with you when you need changes.
What happens after the website launches?
We provide ongoing support after launch. Your team should also decide who will keep news, projects and job posts current. Give those updates a clear owner: visitors who see an old latest post might wonder whether the company is still trading.
