Websites
A site that cantake the campaign.
Design, build, and the measurement to know if the page did its job. Most of the sites we ship take 8 to 12 weeks.

Engagements across the practice, two years
The short answer
What this engagement is.
Website design and development at Quorum is a marketing build, not a branding exercise with a launch party. We design the pages the campaign needs, build them on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or Next.js, and leave you with a stack someone can edit. Brochure and marketing sites we took from kickoff to launch most often shipped in 8 to 12 weeks. Ecommerce and heavy integrations take longer and are scoped that way.
Figures are medians or ranges from Quorum engagements. They describe what we have seen on work we ran. They are not a promise of the same result.
Who it is for
Who hires this.
Companies whose site is the constraint: slow templates, no room for a landing page, a CMS nobody will log into, or a store that cannot merchandise. Also teams coming off a campaign that the current site cannot support.
A poor fit is a request for a logo, a brand book, and a site as a side effect. Brand identity is not a service we sell on its own. If the visual system already exists, we will use it. If it does not, we design the interface for the site in front of us.
We also turn away rebuilds where the offer is still undecided. A new theme will not clarify a muddy service list. That conversation happens before design.
What's included
What the build includes.
Page map
The URLs, the job of each one, and what we are willing to leave off. Navigation follows the offer, not an org chart.
Interface design
Templates for the pages you will actually reuse: home, service, location, article, landing, product or collection if it is a store. Desktop and a real mobile layout, not a squashed desktop.
Build
Implemented on the platform we agreed. Accessible components, sane headings, and forms that reach a person. No page builder nested inside a page builder.
Measurement
Analytics and tag manager events for the conversions that matter. A site launch without events is a relaunch you cannot judge.
Handoff
Editor notes, a redirect map from the old URLs, and two weeks of fixes after launch. Then a retainer only if you want one.
How it runs
Offer, templates, build, launch.
01
Offer
We write the page map from the services you sell and the queries or ads that will point at them. Stakeholders review the map, not a mood board.
02
Templates
Design the repeating pages first. Unique campaign pages come from those templates so the next landing page is not a fresh project.
03
Build
Content entry, redirects, performance on the templates, and accessibility checks on forms and navigation. Staging stays up until the redirect map is done.
04
Launch
DNS or host cutover, redirect checks, and a watch on conversions for two weeks. Rankings are monitored, not promised.
Deliverables
What you hold at the end.
- A URL map and redirect spreadsheet from the old site.
- Designed templates and the built site on the agreed platform.
- CMS training for the people who will edit it.
- Core events in analytics: calls, forms, purchases, or demo requests.
- A short accessibility pass on the primary templates, with issues logged.
- Two weeks of post-launch fixes included in the project.
Timing
Typical timelines.
Marketing site
8 to 12 weeks from kickoff to launch when content is available and the platform is decided. Delays are usually approvals and missing copy, not the build.
Ecommerce
Twelve to twenty weeks when catalog, apps, and checkout rules are involved. Migrations need a parallel run so the old store stays up.
Landing page system
Three to five weeks when the main site can stay and you need a template the media team can duplicate.
Engagement
How web projects are priced.
Ranges are typical for a senior team on a defined scope. Media spend is always separate from management. A written scope sets the fee before work starts.
Marketing site · $18,000 to $65,000
Brochure and lead-gen sites in that band. The top of the range is more templates, more content entry, or a harder migration.
Ecommerce · $40,000 to $120,000
Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce builds and replatforms. Apps, custom checkout, and large catalogs move the fee.
Care · $1,500 to $4,000 a month
After launch, if you want us to ship landing pages and keep the stack patched. Not required to start.
Industries
Web Design by industry.
These are the verticals where the search demand and the buying cycle are specific enough to deserve their own page.
Dental
Dental
Six offices are not one office with a map pin. The site has to show the location, the plan, and whether this visit is a call or a booking.
Law firms
Law firms
Practice area, a real office, and a way to reach a person from a phone. The founding story can wait.
Restaurants
Restaurants
Hours, address, prices, and a way to reserve or order. A photograph of last spring's menu is not a menu.
Real estate
Real estate
Neighborhoods, agents, and a seller who can find a person. The listing search can live here. It should not be the whole site.
Ecommerce
Ecommerce
Platform, then the collection and the product page, then a checkout that is not carrying twelve extra scripts.
Home services
Home services
Repair is a phone call. Replacement is a quote. The service area is where you actually send a truck.
Healthcare
Healthcare
Location, the person who sees patients there, and a form that asks for a callback. Not a chart, and not a cure.
Hospitality
Hospitality
Arrival, departure, and the right property. The booking engine is the one on your contract, not one we invented a badge for.
Platforms
Platforms we run Web Design on.
Platform
WordPress
Templates, a short plugin list, and editors who can ship a page without opening a ticket.
Platform
Shopify
Theme, catalog structure, and the apps that are allowed to touch the cart. Checkout stays on Shopify.
Platform
Webflow
Components and CMS collections for a marketing site. Hosting stays on Webflow so the editor still works.
Platform
Next.js
A component system, a content source with preview, and a deploy path someone can explain. Not the default for a brochure.
Platform
WooCommerce
One admin for guides and products, a hosting plan that can take the catalog, and extensions that survive an update.
Platform
BigCommerce
Price lists, catalog structure, and a theme path chosen before anyone says headless. Checkout stays hosted.
Questions
Web questions.
Which platforms do you build on?
WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Next.js when a headless or app-like front end is actually needed. We pick from the content model and who will edit the site, not from a preference.
Do you redesign brands?
We design the site. If you need a new name, a logo system, and a brand book, that is a different project and we will not pretend it is included. Old brand-design URLs now land here because the live offer is the site.
Will a redesign hurt SEO?
It can, if URLs change without redirects or if content is thrown away. A redirect map and a content keep-or-cut list are part of the project, not an extra.
Do you write the copy?
We can. It is scoped. If you write it, we still edit for the page job and for headings that match the offer. Lorem ipsum does not go to staging.
Is the site accessible?
Primary templates get a practical accessibility pass: keyboard, labels, contrast, and names on controls. That is not a legal opinion and it is not a certification. Ongoing monitoring is the ADA compliance service.
Can you work with our current developer?
Yes. We can design and specify, or build, or both. The proposal says which. Shared projects fail when nobody owns the launch checklist, so that owner is named.
Talk through a rebuild.
One conversation. A diagnostic. A plan you can kill if it is not the work.
