Plan

We’ll work with you to define your business goals, target audience, and competition. We’ll discuss various design options to determine the design direction.

Design

You’ll receive design mockups that show what your website will look like before development begins. Next, the elements that will define your website are created.

Develop

During the development process you’ll review the functioning website as it’s built. All pages are created and the design comes to life on the new website.

Launch

Complete testing is conducted on all modern web browsers and device types. When you’re completely happy with the results, your new website will go live.

Custom Website Design

From fully custom WordPress themes to custom Shopify development, Rocquett Websites can make your business look great and function flawlessly online.

Take a few minutes to tell us about your business and what you want to accomplish online. We work with businesses of all sizes and budgets to make their online presence a success!

Our custom websites include the following features.

Built with WordPress

WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system powering 39% of websites on the internet. We specialize in custom WordPress theme design and development.

Responsive Design

Your website will look and work great on mobile phones, tablets, and desktops.

Premium Plugins

We have developer licenses for some of the best premium (paid) WordPress plugins, which means we can use them on your website for no cost to you, as long as you remain our client. View the list of premium WordPress plugins.

Adobe Stock Images

We use Adobe Stock images for photos and graphics on the websites we build. It’s important to use high quality stock imagery that’s properly licensed.

WCAG 2.1 Accessibility Standards

We build our websites using WCAG 2.1 guidelines in order to help disabled people use your website. This may help you avoid being sued for having a non-accessible website.

Website Analytics

We’ll install the analytics system you prefer so that you can track website usage. We often suggest Clicky or Google Analytics.

Optimized for Speed

We build our websites to load fast, especially on mobile phones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Website design and development FAQs.

Why should I choose your development services over another?

  • We’ll be honest with you when you’re making your decision about whether to use our service. Tell me more
  • We don’t use automated web page builders like many website developers do. Tell me more
  • We’re a really small business so we’ll know you by name, and we’ll really care about the success of your business and your website.
  • Our prices are typically lower than larger web development firms and advertising agencies.
  • We have over 24 years of experience in website development and can provide insight that less experienced firms can’t.

Why do your websites cost more (or less) than others I’ve found?

Pricing for the development of a typical small business website ranges from $2,000 on the low end, to over $30,000 on the high end. The lower end variety are often available from a couple of different sources:

First are the freelancers who often have daytime jobs and very little overhead. What you gain in cost-savings you stand to lose in long-term support, as they may cease to stay in business. Second are the large discount website developers that may pay their sales staff more than their programmers. You deal with a knowledgeable person during the sales process, but often end up with mediocre to poor service during the building process. The cost to you might be “not getting what you really want”.

The upper end of pricing comes from design agencies who maintain nice offices and work with larger corporate clients. They often do branding work along with website, print, and video production. You’ll most often get great results but it might break your budget.

Our pricing falls between the low end and the high end. We don’t have the overhead of an agency, but we provide more customization and service offerings than discount web developers.

Although you can have a website built for less, we feel we’ve put together an offering of quality, service, and value that is well worth the price. To better suit your marketing budget, we can split the Semi-Custom and Custom website development fee into 12 monthly payments.

How long does it take to have a website built?

On average it takes from two to seven weeks to build a website. If your website simply needs to be redesigned, and the content is staying “as is”, the project can be completed in as little as two weeks from the start date.

Do you provide email accounts with service and support?

We don’t offer email accounts due to the time and expertise required to provide email service and support. Business email needs are better served by a service that specializes in email, such as Microsoft Outlook or G Suite from Google.

Will I be able to update the site myself when it’s finished?

Yes. Many of our clients take control of their website and learn to manage and update it on their own. We’ll provide initial training and help when you need it.

Do you only create WordPress websites?

No. We can work with almost any content management system you have in mind. We use Shopify to build e-commerce and online store websites. If you need a simple HTML/CSS website without a content management system we can create it. In addition, we can partner with a team to create sophisticated web applications.

Do you build ecommerce and online store websites?

Yes. We use Shopify to build ecommerce and online store websites.

Will you maintain my website and make content updates as I need them?

Yes. We provide on-going support for almost all of our clients. Check out our WordPress Hosting and Maintenance Plans.

Will my website be mobile-friendly?

Definitely! Having a mobile-friendly website is more important than ever! We’ll make sure your website looks great on a variety of mobile devices including phones and tablets.

How and when do I pay?

The website development fee requires a deposit to start and the remainder when the website goes live. The agreement we create for you will specify the exact amounts.

We can split the website development fee over a 12 month period if that works best for you. We understand that this is a big investment and want to help you budget for the expense in whatever way possible.

We accept checks, all major credit cards, and debit cards.

How much input do I have in the website development process?

Your input and feedback is crucial to the success of your new website. Before we get started we’ll ask questions about your business and what expectations you have for the website. We’ll also find out what expectations you have regarding the look and feel of the website. We’re here to serve you and the visitors to your website by creating the best experience possible.

Who writes the content for the website?

Someone within your organization or a copywriter you hire will write the content. If you currently have a website we can often work with the content you have, and suggest edits where necessary. If you need help, we can recommend copywriters who can improve your current content or write original content for you at an additional cost.

Can I move or “take” my website to another provider if you host my website?

You’ll never be “locked in” to our hosting and maintenance service. We make it easy for you to take your website and use a different web hosting service once the initial website setup fee is paid. If you’ve ever tried to take your functioning website away from another company before, you’ll know it’s often a stressful process, and in some cases they won’t, or can’t let you move it.

If you want to host your website from a different server from the start, we can do that as well. Just let us know during the agreement phase and we’ll set that up as part of the terms.

Do I have full ownership of my website?

Yes, you have full ownership of your website. Many website providers can’t allow you to take your website to another hosting provider because your website is wrapped up in their content management system. This is the case with providers such as Squarespace and Wix. Under these circumstances you don’t really have full ownership of your website.

Delwin Holeman has done great work for me (and my wife) on our websites over the years. Very easy to work with. And he also came to my aid a few years ago when my old website (hosted by a different provider) was hacked. Could not be happier with his work.

We’ve used Delwin at Rocquett Websites for years. He has great ideas for how to present our company and our content and an eye for good web design. He hosts our site and provides regular updates for us. We highly recommend Rocquett Websites!

Martha Dennis

Delwin has been doing work for my websites for years. He does excellent work and is priced fairly. Delwin is as honest as they come and quick if any issues with our sites. Highly recommend.

Pamela Flasch, Director of Public Affairs at BJWSA

We have worked with Delwin for almost a decade now and couldn’t be more satisfied. He really helped streamline the process for us for both building and maintaining. He’s also very responsive to requests and updates. I also love the personal touch.
