Website Design & Management
Grae Media provides website design and management solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, non-profit organizations, and individuals. Whether you're launching a new project from scratch or need to update an existing website, we can help. We'll start by developing a modern and responsive design that fits your specific needs using industry-leading CMS platforms, design tools, and hosting providers. We'll also configure sales tools for e-commerce websites and set up your payment processors, online scheduling tools, marketing lists, analytics, and more. If your website requires regular updates, we can provide a fully managed solution or remote training if you prefer to handle it in-house.
What Platforms Do We Support?
We build all of our websites on the Squarespace, Webflow, or Shopify platforms. Don't worry if your existing website runs on another system like WordPress; we can handle migrations, too! During the discovery process, we will determine which platform suits your project based on the required features, budget, timeline, and long-term goals.

Squarespace is a reliable, user-friendly website platform that bundles hosting, design tools, and updates into one managed service. Its block-based editor lets you build pages from pre-designed sections and content blocks, which keeps layouts consistent and easy to manage while offering more limited (but cheaper, faster, and simpler) design customization than other platforms. Because most features are provided by Squarespace, there is less reliance on third-party plugins and custom code, which improves security, reduces maintenance, and minimizes the risk of conflicts or breakage. The platform also includes built-in tools for basic e-commerce, blogs, image galleries, and portfolios, making it a strong choice for individuals, small businesses or organizations, and creative professionals who want a polished, modern site without a complex backend. Our Squarespace builds range in cost from $5,000 - $10,000+
Shopify is a hosted e-commerce platform built specifically for selling products and services online. It combines secure hosting, checkout, payment processing, and inventory management into one system, which reduces the need to piece together multiple providers. A large ecosystem of apps and integrations makes it possible to add advanced features such as subscriptions, wholesale pricing, or in-store point-of-sale, while still keeping day-to-day operations manageable. Shopify is an excellent choice for product-based businesses that want a reliable, scalable online store and are comfortable with some ongoing app and subscription fees for extra functionality. Our Shopify builds range in cost from $6,000 - $30,000+
Webflow is a premium and modern website platform that merges pixel-level design control with an intuitive visual builder. Clients can start with high-quality templates and components, or opt for fully custom projects where every layout, animation, and interaction is built from the ground up. Its content management system (CMS) is ideal for complex blogs, directories, and resource libraries, and it connects seamlessly to popular tools like Zapier, Stripe, Airtable, and Memberstack to power automations, gated content, memberships, and more. Webflow is perfect for high-end marketing sites and design-forward brands that need unlimited visual flexibility, smooth interactions, fast performance, and the option to add e-commerce. Because hosting and security are managed for you, maintenance is lower than wordpress while offering greater protection and reliability. Our Webflow builds range in cost from $10,000 - $50,000+
WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) with a 60% market share, making it the largest website platform in the world. This massive scale attracts some of the best software developers and has led to over 60,000 available add-ons. That said, the scale and reliance on numerous third-party plugins also means that WordPress is frequently targeted by malicious hackers and requires ongoing maintenence to keep it running securely and reliably. Because of this, we no longer recommend wordprss sites, and generally only work on the platform when handling a migration into one of the other systems listed here. Some exceptions apply; feel free to reach out if you still need WordPress and we can discuss options.
