HOW WE WORK

We Design and Build Your Website and Software In-House.

Vivid Concept designs and builds corporate sites, lead-generation sites, online stores and custom web applications with programmers, UX designers and marketers working together as one team in our Los Angeles office from the first sketch.

Set the goal, then choose the platform

A site that exists to book consultations is built differently from a store that must process orders at checkout. We define the conversion first, then choose the platform: a custom build, WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or a custom cart. Where connecting a tool you already use does the job faster and for less money, that is exactly what we recommend.

Built to be found and to sell

Search structure, page speed, metadata and persuasive copy go into the build from the first page. Our SEO, paid search and content specialists work alongside the developers in our Los Angeles office, so every page launches with its headline, search markup and tracking already in place.

Payments, shipping and the systems behind the site

Stores need merchant accounts configured to each processor's requirements and shipping rates that match how you actually deliver. We set up Authorize.net, PayPal and Stripe, connect carriers such as USPS and FedEx, and integrate CRMs and marketplaces through their APIs.

Pages that earn their place

Our developers build the content-managed sites many companies need as well as one-of-a-kind applications. Whichever you choose, the result is the same: pages that load quickly, read clearly on a phone and lead a visitor toward one next step you chose in advance.

How we start. Every web project includes a Free Consultation about what the site has to do for your business. We look at your current site or your ideas, then agree the goals, the scope and the plan before anything is designed.

Web design and development for Los Angeles businesses

A website proves itself by what it does for you: the phone rings, orders come in, the busywork stops. Our designers, programmers, writers and search specialists work side by side in our Los Angeles office, so nothing gets lost along the way and every page is made to win inquiries and sales. Which of the three you need shapes everything we build.

A site that turns visitors into inquiries your team can call back.
An online store that takes orders and payments without anyone keying them in by hand.
Software that clears the manual work from your team's day: the re-typing, the spreadsheets, the copy-paste between systems.

Every web service, and the job it does

Two questions settle most of the choice: who will edit the site day to day, and does it have to do more than show pages? The store, the integrations, the apps and the care after launch all follow from those answers. Web design and development also reaches into phone apps, AI tools and cloud hosting, and every service behind them is listed below.

Websites and stores

Custom website design: designed and coded page by page around your goals, for when a template would hold you back.
WordPress websites: a site your own staff can edit without waiting on a developer.
Next.js site builds: fast modern sites your team edits with ease.
E-commerce development: a store where catalog, payments and shipping work together, so orders arrive ready to ship.
Shopify store build and migration: themes, checkout extensions and moves from other platforms.
Headless e-commerce builds: a custom storefront with a commerce engine behind it.

Design, content and accessibility

UX and UI design: research, wireframes and tested interfaces that settle the layout early, while changes cost least.
Design tokens and components: consistent design across sites and apps.
Content writing: web copy, articles and scripts written to be found in search and read to the end.
WCAG 2.2 audits and fixes: accessibility for sites and apps.

Software and integrations

Custom software and web applications: portals and internal tools that replace the spreadsheet your team has outgrown.
API integration: payments, carriers, CRMs and marketplaces wired together, so each order is entered once.
API design and development: an interface your partners and apps can use.
SaaS product development: subscription software with accounts and billing.
Admin tools and live dashboards: software your staff use every day.
Data engineering services: your scattered data in one set of reports.
Legacy software modernization: rebuilds of old applications.

Phone apps

iPhone and Android app development: native and cross-platform apps with a shared back end.
Swift and SwiftUI app development: native apps for iPhone and iPad.
Building an Android app: Kotlin apps for phones and tablets.
React Native app development: one codebase for both app stores.

AI tools

How we build AI for business: the services that put language models to work.
Document question-answering and extraction tools: software that works over your own files.
Voice agents that answer the phone: chat and voice assistants for your front desk.
MCP server development: secure connections that let AI assistants work in your systems.

Cloud and security

AWS cloud services: hosting that grows with your application, with costs reviewed.
Securing a web application: strong protection for your sign-ins and your data.
Privacy and consent for websites: consent banners that match your tags.

Care after launch

Website maintenance and hosting: updates, backups, email and domains looked after, renewal dates included.
Server maintenance: monitoring and administration of the servers behind your site.
Faster page loads: pages that load fast and respond the moment a visitor taps.

How a web project runs

You see your site take shape at every stage. Before production starts, our team shows you wireframes, a blueprint of each page and how visitors move through it, and you approve each stage before the next begins. Every project includes a Free Consultation, has a lead project manager and runs in five steps.

We ask about your goals and your audience, and pin down what the site must do.
We lay out what the site includes, its pages and the platform, each with our reasons, and you know exactly what you are getting before design starts.
We design and build the look, the copy and the code on the wireframes you have already approved.
We check devices, browsers, speed and redirects before the site goes live, so old links still land somewhere useful.
We train your staff to run the site, or our team looks after it for you, with the people who built it on hand for every update.

Who we build websites for

Our clients have one thing in common: a site with a real job to do, from teaching a course to publishing the news.

For the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs we built an online course that helps veterans readjust to civilian life. For ETCentric at USC, we redeveloped a technology-news site. We coded the Univision Interactive Media website and built a custom system for Campus Storage.

Four different projects, from an online course to a custom system, all delivered by our own team. Browse the full website portfolio for the project closest to yours, then tell us where yours differs.

Built Together with Our Marketing and UX Teams

UX designers shape the flow, marketers bring the keywords, copy and tracking plan, and developers build it all in, so one team settles the layout, the search setup and the path to a sale.

Common Questions About Web Design & Development

Which technologies does Vivid Concept build with?

Our programmers work in TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS, PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, Java, Swift and Kotlin, with React, Next.js and Node.js on the web, REST and GraphQL APIs, and MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and NoSQL databases on AWS. Platform work covers WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Drupal, Joomla and custom shopping carts.

Do you maintain a site after launch?

Yes. We offer website maintenance, hosting and server maintenance as ongoing services, or we train your staff to manage the site themselves. Either way, the team that built it stays available for every change you need.

How does a project start?

With a Free Consultation. We review your site or your plans, ask about the conversion that matters most and send you a clear scope, which gives you the whole picture before anything starts.

How much does a website cost in Los Angeles?

Location matters far less than what the site has to do. Three things shape the price most: how many kinds of page need their own design, what has to work behind them (a store, a booking form, a member login) and how many other systems the site connects with. In your Free Consultation we weigh your project against those three things, so the price you receive matches the work the site has to do.

How long does it take to build a website?

Length follows the same things that shape the price, plus one you can speed up: how soon the words and pictures are ready, and our writers and photographers can supply both. A few pages sharing one design come together faster than a site with a store, custom features or several connected systems. Your Free Consultation sets the schedule, and you sign off each step as it lands, so launch day is in view from the first week.

Should I choose WordPress, a custom build or an online store platform?

Let the site's main job decide. WordPress suits a site your staff will update themselves. A custom build suits a site that has to do work no template can, such as qualifying leads or giving buyers their own login. A store platform suits a business whose site takes orders and payments. The options also combine, since a custom design can run on WordPress and a store can live inside a WordPress site, and we recommend what is right for you.

Can you work with a business outside Los Angeles?

Yes. We work with clients worldwide, and our portfolio includes websites for businesses in San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area. Wherever you are, every project has a lead project manager who keeps it moving from the first wireframe to launch. Our office is on North La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles, open on weekdays.

Can you take over a website another agency built?

Yes. We review the code, the hosting and the content and give you a written report on what to keep, fix or rebuild, so every decision rests on a clear picture. While you decide, our website maintenance service keeps the site updated and secure, and the team that takes it on stays with you for the long run.
