How we create the comparisons
Every comparison in this series is based exclusively on publicly available information from each agency’s website and, when available, LinkedIn company page. We don’t assign rankings or scores.

Frequent asked questions
Why do you do agency comparisons?
We’re probably not the only web design agency your business is considering, and in our opinion that’s a good thing. Any major buying decision- from cars to websites- involves comparing alternatives. Additionally, we respect fellow agencies in our area and enjoy being part of the conversation whether you choose us or another firm.
Our intent with the comparisons is to give small businesses clear, useful information that’ll help you understand your options, ask better questions, and choose an agency that best fits your needs. For many small businesses in Apex and beyond, getting a new website can be an exciting and substantial investment, so we’d rather help you make an informed decision than leave you with buyer’s remorse.
Should I hire a local web design agency?
Working with a local agency can make collaboration a lot easier if you value in-person meetings and prefer a partner who understands the local business community. However, the best agency for you ultimately depends on its experience, communication style, services, and ability to support your goals, regardless of location.
What should I look for when comparing web design agencies?
Beyond what you might see in their design portfolio, consider each agency’s experience, industries served, project process, pricing transparency, ongoing support, marketing expertise, and communication style. Asking the right questions before hiring an agency can help you make a more informed decision.
What’s the difference between a web design agency and a digital marketing agency?
Generally speaking, a web design agency focuses on planning, designing, building, and maintaining websites. A digital marketing agency typically offers a broader range of services (e.g. SEO, pay-per-click (e.g. Google Ads), social media marketing, and lead generation). Some agencies specialize in one area like WordPress web design while others combine website design and development with ongoing marketing services.
Does Conversion Fox Marketing offer SEO?
Fundamental SEO is built into Conversion Fox Marketing websites because search visibility is an important part of attracting prospective customers, especially for local businesses. We build new websites with SEO best practices including optimized site structure, headers, metadata, interlinking, and other foundational elements in-mind.
Unlike full-service digital marketing agencies and select web design firms in the area, Conversion Fox Marketing doesn’t offer monthly SEO retainers. As a result, businesses that need to keep improving their organic visibility should plan to manage ongoing SEO in-house or consider an SEO agency for that particular service.
How much does a custom website cost?
At Conversion Fox Marketing, our websites typically start around $4,500. Website pricing can vary drastically from one agency to the next and from one project to the next due to a number of factors including- but not limited to- how many pages you want, custom functionality, copywriting support, integrations, and project complexity.
If you’re budgeting for a new website, explore our website pricing resources to learn about the factors that influence website cost and some of the lesser-known costs of owning a WordPress website.
