In today’s world, if you run any business, you need a website. Most business owners do not have the tools or the skills to build a useful website for their business. The good news is there are plenty of ways to find a web developer like The Web Scientists who are equipped with both the tools and the know-how to make your website come to life.
Unfortunately, like any other line of work, there are good developers and bad developers. Your goal should be to find a good one right away. There are usually tell-tale signs that a developer is going to be a bad one. At the same time, we at The Web Scientists have proven to our clients over and over again why we are the web development team to hire.
No “Headset Hottie” Working Here
Many web development firms utilize a stock image of an attractive woman wearing a headset on their website. They are attempting to show that they have someone waiting to accept your call. When you call The Web Scientists at (714) 656-0199 you will speak directly to our Chief Web Scientist or our Chief Marketing Scientist. Both are well-versed in the latest web technologies and can have a productive conversation with you about your needs.
Strong Communication
The Web Scientists believe in continual communication with our clients. From our weekly status update emails to our ClickUp project management software that every client is invited to, we communicate about every aspect of your project. We know your project is essential to you and we want to be clear that it is even more important to us.
Strong Copywriting Skills
Not only can we make beautiful, highly-functioning websites, but we can also write great copy for that website. We have staff members who have trained in the art of copywriting who will help make the content on your site do the job. We will ensure your e-commerce site converts to sales.
A Focus on Functionality
Everyone wants their site to be pretty, but without functionality, a website is useless. We believe in keeping to a minimum the number of clicks a customer must make to navigate your site. Our goal is to create a strong aesthetic look combined with fantastic functionality.
We Assume the Workload Burden
When you bring your technology project to The Web Scientists, you can focus on your workload and not the workload created by your project. This frees you up to run your business, handle your employees and secure new clients. Our professionally trained to manage your project, so let us manage it.
Nothing is Impossible for Us
Many of our clients have told us stories of web developers who were very fond of the word “impossible.” The Web Scientists will strategize to make your dreams a reality. We have found that the only real factors are budget and the limits of technology. Anything is achievable if you have the budget and fit into the limits of the technology.
Custom Code
WordPress has quickly become a market leader for business websites. This is because it is easy to get a website up and running fast. The Web Scientists understand when using a plugin will solve a problem and when custom code is required. We know how websites work and we know what Google wants to see as far as performance. Our focus is on providing you with the best performing solution, not with giving ourselves the path of least resistance.
Reasonable, But Realistic Pricing
Finding a good deal is important to all of us, but there are things you cannot skimp on. On the list of things not to skimp on, a good web developer is right up there with doctor and mechanic. While we always strive to give you the best price possible for the completion of your project, our prices reflect our expertise.
We had a conversation with a developer who told us our pricing was far too low. He proudly showed us a website he had personally completed and had charged $14,000 for. He asked us what we would have charged and when we told him around $5,000 he told us we were far too cheap and would never be successful. Our Chief Web Scientist asked how many referrals or follow up projects this developer had received from this client. The response was predictable–none.
This is something that differentiates us from other development companies–we want to get a client and keep that client for life. We want you to be so happy with our work that you refer your friends. That doesn’t happen when the price of your project has gouged you.
We are Friendly, but Not Your Friend
I bet you’re taken aback by that heading! It isn’t what it seems. The staff at The Web Scientists is friendly, but we are not your friend or neighbor. We will give you full cooperation on the things you want. This is difficult for friends or neighbors to do because they are too close to the project. Clients have apologized for finding a bug in our code. We always let them know that we are not at all offended and are encouraged that our clients care enough to thoroughly test the system we deliver.
We Define the Scope Before We Start the Project
The scope of work is the outline of everything the developer needs to do for the project to progress smoothly. By providing you with a scope of work, you can refer to it throughout your project to ensure proper progress is made. We enter all milestones into ClickUp, our project management software of choice. A clearly defined scope of work avoids all the problems generally associated with development projects.
We Have a “Can Do” Attitude
Many times when you ask a web developer to do something they will let you know they will try. The Web Scientists believe in the phrase made famous by Yoda in Star Wars–Do or Do Not, there is no try. When you hire The Web Scientists you can be assured that we do what you want, we will never tell you that we will try.
We Understand Differences in Technologies
Many developers mash together (improperly) technologies. Have you ever had a developer discuss the Java on your website when they mean JavaScript? That developer does not know their stuff. Our development team understands the technology we use and the up and coming technologies as well. In short, we know what we are talking about.
We Don’t Think Too Highly of Ourselves
We know we are good at what we do, but we don’t overrate our abilities. With the continually changing world of technology, it is impossible for any developer to have a perfect understanding of all technologies. We take the time to keep ourselves up to date on technology so that we can offer you the best there is. We may not be a 10, but we are pretty darned close to it!

The Web Scientists has an ever-growing portfolio of projects we have completed. Whether it is Angular, C#, WordPress or PHP, we have projects we can show you to prove we know our stuff. Our portfolio on our website is updated quarterly. You can browse our portfolio from your home, office or smartphone.
We’ve Got Your Graphics Covered
