Our Portfolio Includes Clients in Madison and Around the World
As one of the best Madison, Wisconsin website developers doing web engineering you'll find, we have local clients such as Genesis Painting, Capitol Auto Credit, Associated Students of Madison and others in the Madison area. We serve Southern Wisconsin and we also have clients around the United States and even the world. Webstix is UW-Madison Alumni owned.
We use modern website design and tools to create websites that load quickly and provide the best user experience possible. We’ve worked in many industries and we’re able to borrow powerful techniques used in one industry and adapt them to work in other industries. The result is a website that is easy to use, one that looks good and one that the search engines like and want to rank.
If you have never gone through a website design project before, we make it easy. Our system is designed to ease the load on you because you have a business to run and designing a website doesn’t fall into your daily tasks. You get several updates a week regarding what’s going on and asking you for the things we need from you.
We value your time and our staff is trained to make it easy to respond when we ask you something. You want a website company that knows what they’re doing and we’ve been doing this for over 15 years now.
In the end, you’ll get a great looking website that loads quickly and produces results. We have case studies showing how we’ve increased traffic and converted more traffic into leads for our clients.

What Are Web Design Services?
Website design refers to several different skills related to the production and maintenance of websites. These skills and services include:

- Rendered website design
- Photo, video, and illustration creation and management

- Database architecture, planning, and implementation

- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tasks like keyword research, competitor research, meta descriptions, page headings, Google Analytics / Search Console setup, etc.
- Page speed optimization
- Mobile and desktop testing and crowd testing with different devices
- Website maintenance tasks like upgrading software, plugin, and theme - plus updating content and testing any changes made

WordPress Website Design
We develop most of our websites using WordPress - although we often use Magento for large e-commerce websites and we have used Joomla and Drupal (content management systems). We're experts at user experience design, interactive design and use a grid-based design system for most projects, which is the standard because of the fluid design that's needed today.
With WordPress, you get an easy-to-use interface that's a lot like using Facebook or other websites. We provide training for you and your staff to make sure you know how to use and update content on your website yourself. You're also able to virtually add as many pages yourself to your website that you want. The sky's the limit when it comes to adding text, images, documents/PDF and so on.
With features like shopping carts, event calendars, blogging, photo galleries and more, WordPress helps make your website a tool for your business, saving you money. And we're also here to support your WordPress website.
Website Maintenance / Emergency Website Help
Webstix is full service and that includes website site. If you would like help with website maintenance, updating the software it runs on, adding content or fixing things, then the team of experts at Webstix can help - even if we didn't originally create your website!
Our Website Maintenance Department is known worldwide. We’ve helped clients on many continents and we’d love to you, too. We’re constantly getting a 4 out of 5 or 5 out of 5 rating on our work and our clients send us praise all the time – even without us asking. Our team loves to come in and save the day.
We use a ticket system to help keep track of all the things you need done. We offer quotes for work with no cost or obligation. Tell us what you need then we get you a quote and ask if you would like us to get started. It’s really just that easy.
We do testing in the latest web browsers (although some of us grew up using the Mosaic browser at one point) to ensure your website works like it should.
Our clients like our Maintenance Blocks system because there are no monthly retainers. You pay for what you use – it’s à la carte website maintenance. One block is a half hour and if you purchase packs of blocks, you get discounts. Use them when you want because they never expire.

Webstix Started in 2001
We have been around since 2001 and our personnel have been doing website design from the beginning - back in the days when Tim Berners-Lee and Marc Andreessen first got the World Wide Web up and going (if anyone remembers that still). We've been there from the beginning, which means we've seen the web evolve and change over the years. This helps us understand why things work a certain way and it helps us see where website design and development is going into the future.
