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

A QA specialist tests a website on a phone and a laptop together.

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

Set the goal, then choose the platform

A site that books consultations is built differently from a store that takes orders. We decide what a visit should lead to first, then choose the platform: a custom build, WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or a custom cart. If connecting a tool you already use does the job faster and for less, we recommend that.

A site that gets found and sells

Search structure, page speed, metadata and copy go into the build from the first page, so every page launches with its headline, markup and tracking in place.

A team stands around a standing table planning a website with sticky notes.

Payments, shipping and the systems behind the site

A store needs a merchant account with each payment processor and shipping rates that match how you deliver. We set up Authorize.net, PayPal and Stripe, connect USPS and FedEx, and link CRMs and marketplaces through their APIs.

Fast pages that lead to one next step

Whether it is a content site or a custom application, pages load fast, read clearly on a phone and point to 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 set the goals, scope and 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 every page is made to win inquiries and sales. Most projects come down to one of three jobs.

  • 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 narrow the choice fast.

Who will edit the site day to day?

Your own staff, without waiting on a developer: WordPress websites, or Next.js site builds your team edits with ease.

Does it have to do more than show pages?

Then it needs e-commerce development, custom software or API integration behind it.

Your Web Project Process

A designer shows a client a tablet of abstract layouts in a sunny room.

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

  1. DiscoveryWe ask about your goals and your audience, and pin down what the site must do. Then we lay out its pages and the platform, each with our reasons, to show what you are getting before design starts.
  2. DesignWe draw the wireframes, then design the look of the key pages. You approve each before any programming begins.
  3. BuildWe program the site, write and enter the copy and connect every integration, all built on the approved design.
  4. LaunchWe check devices, browsers, speed and redirects before the site goes live, so old links still take visitors somewhere useful.
  5. SupportWe train your staff to run the site, or our team looks after it for you, and you can still reach the people who built it.

Who we build websites for

A web designer and a developer review a printed site layout of abstract blocks with a business owner.

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.

All four were 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 developers who built the site handle 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 get 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 is finished, 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 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.
