What You Get With Blue Ox Web Design
We’re not just building web pages here. We’re building trust, visibility, and growth. Whether you’re starting fresh or need a complete redesign, here’s what you can expect.
Custom Website Design
Our in-house website designers collaborate with you to build something that feels truly yours. We create unique layouts, use your branding, and focus on the user experience. You’ll get a homepage mockup, which is a visual draft of your website, before we build anything, so you can weigh in early and often.
WordPress Development
We build on WordPress for its flexibility and performance. You’ll get a mobile-friendly, fast-loading website that’s easy to update and ready to grow with you. Before launch, our web developers build your site on a private development server so you can explore and give feedback before it goes live.
Content & Copywriting
Need help writing content? Our writers can handle it all. From homepage headlines to SEO-friendly blog posts, we’ll craft words that speak your brand’s voice and get attention in search engines. If you’ve already written content, we’re happy to polish it instead. Either way, we’ll make sure it’s clear, engaging, and easy to read.
SEO Setup
We take care of on-page SEO basics so search engines and your customers can find you. That includes tuning page speed, submitting your sitemap (a digital roadmap of your site’s pages), and performing keyword research to discover what your customers are typing into Google. These steps help you show up where it matters most.
Full Admin Access
You’ll always own your site. We’ll set you up with full admin access so you can make changes as needed. Hosting with us is optional, too. Whether you stick with Blue Ox or move your site to another website builder, you’re in control.
Local, Human Support
No call centers. No ticket black holes. Just real people—available by phone, email, or video—to answer questions, make updates, and troubleshoot when needed. Behind the scenes, your site lives on our servers – computers that deliver your site to the world. We manage that server so you don’t have to.
Transparent Pricing
No mystery fees. No pushy upsells. You’ll get a clear quote, a clear timeline, and a clear path forward. And if you ever need to add something down the road, we’ll walk you through the cost and process with no surprises.
We’ll lead with a conversation – nothing starts until you’re 100% ready.
WordPress Web Design Cost Comparison Table
Every business needs something different from its website. That’s why Blue Ox offers flexible web design packages built for a range of goals, budgets, and stages of growth. Whether you need a simple one-page website, a larger site designed to support your growing business, or a complete eCommerce store, we’ll help you choose the right starting point and customize it to fit your needs.
Every package includes custom website design, mobile-friendly development, a contact form, essential SEO and analytics setup, pre-launch testing, recorded website training, and full ownership of your website. We can adjust the scope, add pages, and recommend additional features based on your goals.
Which Website Package Is Right for Me?
The right package depends on how much content your website needs, what you want visitors to do, and how your business plans to grow.

What Happens After You Choose a Package?
Choosing a package gives us a starting point, but you won’t be left to figure out the rest on your own. We’ll begin with a conversation about your business, customers, goals, content, and website needs. From there, our team will confirm the project scope, provide a clear quote and timeline, and guide you through design, development, review, and launch.
Before your website goes live, you’ll have opportunities to review the design, explore the working site, and request changes. We’ll also test the website, connect your analytics and search tools, and provide a recorded training session so you feel comfortable managing it. After launch, you can maintain the website yourself or continue working with Blue Ox for hosting, updates, maintenance, and ongoing marketing.
We’ll lead with a conversation – nothing starts until you’re 100% ready.

Website Development Services
WordPress Website Design
We create custom-built websites on WordPress, giving you full control and the ability to grow over time. Our designs are built to support your content, showcase your services, and convert visitors. With flexible layouts and a user-friendly backend, you’ll have a website that looks great and works hard.
Site Speed Optimization
A fast-loading website is essential. We take steps like image compression, browser caching, and smart plugin use to make sure your site responds quickly, even on mobile. A speedy site helps you rank higher in search and keeps your visitors from bouncing.
Website Hosting
We offer secure, U.S.-based hosting with excellent uptime and performance. Hosting with us means we can provide top-to-bottom support, from the server level to the contact form. Want to host elsewhere? That’s fine too. We’ll help you get set up wherever you feel most comfortable.
Website Security
From automatic backups to login protection and plugin monitoring, we help keep your site safe from spam and cyber threats. We also set up tools that scan for vulnerabilities and notify us if anything looks off.
Maintenance Packages
We offer monthly plans that include everything from website updates and content edits to performance reviews and strategic tweaks. This ensures your website stays fresh, secure, and ready to perform.
Software Integration
Your website should work with the rest of your business, not in a silo. That’s why we offer integrations with tools for analytics, email marketing, online reviews, eCommerce, and more.
Whether it’s Google Analytics and Search Console to monitor your traffic, a contact form plugin like Gravity Forms, or tools for email newsletters, payments, or appointment scheduling, we’ll connect the dots so everything flows together.
Want to track rankings or see your marketing data in one place? We can build dashboards that give you visibility and peace of mind.
