St. Louis Web Design's humble beginnings are firmly rooted in the St. Louis region. Although we have grown and now partner with many clients outside of the Midwest and even the country, most of our clients are located within the St. Louis area. We pride ourselves developing not just stunning websites, but also developing professional relationships with our clients that often span decades.
Ready For A Change?
This is typically a question our clients ask before partnering with our team of web gurus. They always end up happy that they trusted us to guide them through the web design process as we take the time to not only build robust and elegant solutions to fulfill their web needs, but also to ensure that they understand how to use those systems properly. We not only take care of our clients during the initial project phases, but after the project's conclusion and final delivery, we make sure they know we are always just a phone call or email away.
Most people are surprised to learn that today most web traffic is actually generated from mobile devices and not from PCs. At. St. Louis Web Design we leverage the latest in coding techniques to ensure your message is optimized for viewing from all screen sizes.
Not only do faster websites rank better in search engines, but they also convert more users. A recent study said that every 1 second load delay results in a 7% conversion rate reduction. That's why we focus on fast for our clients.
If your goal is to get traffic to your new website then you've come to the right place. Unlike many other providers, our sites are built from the ground up with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as a key focus.
Although we have grown since our humble beginnings, we have had many of our initial clients for well over a decade due to our unrelenting commitment to not just support them, but to ensure they are happy and view us as their indispensable partners for all of their endeavours on the web. We will never be that anonymous 1-800 number that you call for the other companies that you do business with. Our team at St. Louis Web Design isn't satisfied until you view us as part of yours.
Your website needs aren't cookie cutter, so why should your most important digital asset be? At St. Louis Web Design, our team of seasoned web pros has over 35 years of experience building the web. From building custom web software for fortune 500 corporations to designing stunning websites for many small businesses around the St. Louis region, we have the know-how and expertise to develop a solution to fit your needs. Not only are our clients confident we have the skills to build their custom site, but that we can support their needs and requirements long term. Many of our clients come back to us even years later to update and grow the initial website we developed for them. Because of our ability to code custom web solutions, your organization will never be boxed into a feature or function you're not happy with. If you can envision it, we can develop it for you.
Whether your organization prefers a custom site built on a CMS like WordPress, or a hand-coded custom PHP solution it will be hard for you to bring us with a request that we haven't already completed for one of our hundreds of happy clients.
Long gone are the days when having one website design to fit a desktop screen was all you needed. According to all of the latest tracking, over half of the visitors hitting websites today are on a mobile device. This means that your website has to have several versions to optimally convert your users. Many other agencies pick 2-3 standard screen sizes to support. This is an outdated coding practice that doesn't adequately support the literally thousands of different screens that visit your site. At St. Louis Web Design, we use the latest in responsive coding techniques to solve this problem which comes standard on all new websites we build. We use a responsive coding technique that automatically detects the screen size that you user is browsing with to scale down and serve your website content optimized for that individual user's screen. This is a far superior practice than optimizing for just a few screen sizes and keeping your fingers crossed that most of your users use those particular screen sizes.
Sometimes informing clients of products and services simply isn't enough. At St. Louis Web Design, we not only have experience with information based websites, but we've also helped many of our clients with e-commerce solutions. We regularly assist clients with e-commerce websites that are either 100% custom coded or built on a CMS platform like WordPress. These solutions offer online customers fast, secure, and streamlined solutions to allow more users to convert leading to higher online conversion rates. At St. Louis Web Design, we have a fundamental understanding of e-commerce best practices based decades of real-world experience and we develop our online stores in accordance with those principals.
Although we hand-code many of our projects completely custom, we are also extremely familar and experineced developing websites on open source content management systems (CMS). When implemented correctly, these systems can be extremely valuable tools to any company or organization for several reasons. At their core, CMS platforms were designed to provide non-coders the ability to create and edit web content on their websites. Not only are these systems generally easier to update for the less nerdy among us, but they also allow organizations to tap into the large network of plugins that have been written for each CMS. These plugins allow for the implementation of advanced features and functions like e-commerce functionality, mailing lists, and thousands of others without the costly need to develop these additions completely from scratch. Can't find the perfect plugin for your CMS project? No worries, St. Louis Web Design can develop a custom plugin for you!
These CMS features allow St. Louis Web Design to often offer economical, yet powerful web solutions to meet the needs of our clients.
In today's web environment it is critical to ensure that you have all of your basic website best practices covered. These are elements like security, logical navigation, mobile responsiveness, and also speed. A recent whitepaper by Google found that as a page load time increases from 1 - 5 seconds, the probability of a user bouncing (leaving the site without going to a second page) increased 90%. As this and many other studies have shown, speed is king and is only increasing in importance as humans become more and more impatient. There are many different technical coding strategies to speed up page load times. From site file size minification to optimizing server settings, St. Louis Web Design takes these best practices into consideration for each website we develop.
You hear about it in the news each and every week, somewhere a hacker group has infiltrated a network and stolen sensitive data from an organization. It is generally considered impossible to make any data connected to the internet 100% secure. Although there is and always will be inherent risk connecting any computer network to the entire world there are many steps that are important to take to minimize that risk. St. Louis Web Design has been contracted by white hat hackers and fortune 500 groups alike to lend our expertise to security related projects. We understand the fundamental importance of keeping systems secure and hold that as a top priority in any project we work on. In fact, several of our employees came to St. Louis Web Design from top-tier cyber security departments in large corporations. We work to mitigate risks from attacks like DDoS, Injection, and Brute Force through security strategies that include intelligent server management, encryption, real-time monitoring and many other security precautions.

Eric SucherMarketing Executive
No matter what technology or digital project I throw at them; they can always handle and always shoot me straight and make sure I understand it in regular language. I honestly don’t know where our companies would be today without "the boys" because they power all things digital and we have a blast doing it.

The team at St. Louis Web Design was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. I've worked with them on a few projects over the last few years and will continue to utilize their services for any work in the future.
Medro BrodeurSales Director
These "kids" as I call them are not only on top of the game, they convey to me options as they see fit. I was using a larger national operation before going to them, I now spend less and get better and more with the "kids" at St. Louis Web Design.
