WordPress Website Design and Development
Take your business in the right direction with website design services that turn your website into a tool that works as hard as you do.
Hey Form, Say Hello to Function.
In today's digital world, it is crucial to be where your customers need you when they need you. North Star designs branded ‘digital front doors' that are easy to maintain, communicate a brand's value clearly, and enhance a business's ability to deliver amazing service to their clients.
It's a given that professional website design has to look good and be ready to plug into marketing initiatives but what is often overlooked is their potential to be the best hire a business ever makes. Your website never sleeps, never gets sick and never goes on vacation. It doesn't engage in water-cooler gossip and isn't going to get an attitude when you inevitably forget it's birthday (afterall, you're busy running a business). A great website will do it's job flawlessly and make you look good even when you're having a noticeably bad hair day.
Where other design companies often fall short is in evaluating the effects of the website's design on a business as a whole. North Star is more than 'just' a design agency. We look at every project through a 'systems lens' to find opportunities to improve your ability to deliver a better experience to more clients every day. Whatever services can be delivered to a client (or a prospect) automatically or at their discretion should be… and clients will thank you for it by paying more for your services, leaving amazing reviews and referring new clients.

Faq
The short answer is no.
You might be able to get away with a free template, but you'll still need to pay for hosting, domain registration, email services and probably a slew of other plugins or add-ons. This is true whether you hire a professional developer or DIY.
The DIY option is often the cheapest way to go and totally makes sense for start-ups that might not have the capital to invest however there are inherent risks in that method. In addition, with free templates, you will be limited in your design options, functionality and integrations.
Professional design services range in cost depending on the project specifics and the specialty/experience of the development agency itself.
For instance, North Star primarily services established service-based businesses with proven high ticket offers. Our sites typically include Keyword Research married against Competitor Analysis and Backlinking Data which allows us to create a comprehensive site strategy and SEO-optimized content. This strategy helps our clients make educated decisions about their systems, processes and other related service providers.
An agency offering $500 websites is not going to be working at that level.
Essential website content should be reviewed once a month while on-page SEO metrics should be reviewed every 6 to 9 months by a web developer.
Businesses should do minor style updates after every 3-6 months but they should do straight redesign after every 2 to 3 years.
It depends on the unique requirements of each customer, but generally, it takes around 8-12 weeks from when the proposal is accepted to enter the Go Live Phase of any given website launch.
The length of time depends on a few different factors:
- The complexity of your site's design, functionality and customization.
- The number of pages and subpages on your site as it relates to the amount of new content that needs to be collected or generated.
- Responsiveness of key stakeholders on the client’s side to provide content, feedback, approvals, and needed access to accounts and/or third-party platforms.
