Web development companies design and build websites, ranging from marketing sites and landing pages to full ecommerce stores and custom web applications, using either code or no-code platforms. Platforms like WordPress or Shopify are typically faster and cheaper for standard sites, while custom-built code suits businesses needing specific functionality those platforms don't support.
Web development companies design and build websites, ranging from marketing sites and landing pages to full ecommerce stores and custom web applications. Coverage spans agencies that build on no-code platforms like Webflow or WordPress, to teams doing fully custom development in code, and specialists focused specifically on ecommerce platforms like Shopify. Site speed is a real factor here, not just a nice-to-have - Google's Core Web Vitals measure loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability, and both directly affect user experience and search ranking, so a site built without attention to them can look great and still perform poorly. Some agencies also offer ongoing maintenance and hosting after launch, while others hand off a finished site with no further support. Because "web development" covers such different scopes of work, it's worth confirming whether a listing builds custom code, works within a platform like WordPress or Shopify, or both.
