Web Design Services in Los Angeles
Los Angeles web design for entertainment, media, fashion and e-commerce brands in one of the most competitive markets in the country. We build fast, visually sharp websites with the search structure needed to rank and the conversion paths needed to sell.
Real Mojo Dojo clients, on the record.
Trusted by 1,500+ brands across 81 industries
Visual standards set by the entertainment capital.
The region held 27% of US film and TV employment in 2023, and its creative economy is shifting toward streaming, gaming and online content. Everyone here lives with high production values. A restaurant in Silver Lake, a skincare brand in Culver City and a law firm in Century City are all judged by visitors used to polished imagery, confident typography and smooth motion. Stock photos and a default theme stand out for the wrong reasons.
Visual ambition has a cost, though. Autoplay video, oversized hero images and animation libraries make pages slow, and slow pages lose visitors and rankings. Our design work balances the two: art direction and layout planned in Adobe XD, then a build that serves responsive images, lazy-loads media and keeps animation light, so the site feels premium and still passes Core Web Vitals.
The market itself is enormous and fragmented. The county has 88 cities, 304,988 employer establishments and more than 1.1 million nonemployer businesses, and 55.1% of residents aged 5 and over speak a language other than English at home. LAEDC puts the cost of doing business about 20% above the national average, so owners want every page to earn its keep. Many consumer brands here also sell nationally, which is why we build DTC stores on Shopify or BigCommerce, larger catalogs on Magento or PrestaShop, and service and content sites on WordPress.
Geography is the other challenge. Ranking Downtown or on the Westside says little about visibility in the Valley, the South Bay or the San Gabriel Valley, and visitors search from well outside the county. We plan location pages for the areas you truly serve and keep booking and contact paths simple for someone arriving from out of town.

Platforms we design for.
We are platform-agnostic. A fashion label, a production company and a multi-location clinic each need a different CMS, so we recommend based on your goals, catalog, content and team.
WordPress. The world's most popular CMS, powering 43% of all websites. We have built over 1,500 WordPress sites since 2008, from small businesses to enterprise-scale platforms with complex custom post types and advanced SEO architecture.
Shopify. The ecommerce platform built for growth. We design conversion-optimized Shopify stores with custom theme development, app integrations, and SEO-first architecture that turns browsers into buyers from day one.
BigCommerce. A scalable SaaS ecommerce platform with built-in SEO tools, multi-channel selling, and enterprise-grade features. Ideal for rapidly growing stores that need power without the complexity of a self-hosted solution.
Magento. Enterprise-grade ecommerce for complex product catalogs, multi-store environments, and high-volume transactional requirements. Magento gives you total flexibility when your business has outgrown simpler platforms.
PrestaShop. A lightweight, open-source ecommerce platform with a global community since 2008. PrestaShop is well-suited for businesses that need a cost-effective, customizable storefront without the overhead of enterprise platforms.
Custom Development. Sometimes no off-the-shelf platform fits. Our development team builds fully bespoke web applications and headless CMS solutions for businesses with unique functional requirements that standard platforms cannot satisfy.
How we design and develop.
We follow three phases: <a href="/us/branding-agency" data-entity-id="ada4e5d3-601e-4ec1-82a0-f74225ec0866" class="entity-link" data-target-slug="branding-agency" data-target-schema="service">branding</a> concept development and structural organization, concept refinement, and construction. For visually led brands, the first phase includes art direction and moodboards, and we show you the finished <a href="/us/website-design-development" data-entity-id="ae4e37eb-1959-4e8f-a980-23068a558503" class="entity-link" data-target-slug="website-design-development" data-target-schema="service">web development</a> direction before any code is written.
Brainstorming
You will meet with the development team to brainstorm and provide a brief of your online design requirements, vision and objectives. A feasibility study follows, with a project plan that gives you a better understanding of your target audience and the competitive landscape. Covers: understanding your target audience, choice of a custom CMS, the architecture design of your website, and finalization of website feature requirements.
User Experience and User Interface
Mojo Dojo's designers create a fluid UX and UI experience with on-brand visualizations of your website in Adobe XD. Covers: incorporating your brand into the design, website layouts designed in Adobe XD, review of the layouts, and finalization of navigation and design layout.
Custom Management System Development
The conversion from UX/UI design to a content management system takes the longest time in the project. The CMS is industry compliant, with support available from Mojo Dojo or the online community. Covers: custom development, calls to action, plugins, extensions and apps, SEO integration, and framework.
Testing Process
Before launching the final product, we perform thorough technical and user acceptance testing to ensure a high-quality, user-friendly website. Covers: responsive design testing, browser testing, functional requirements testing, and usability testing and improvements.
Training and Support
After launch, we run a website training session with your staff on navigating the content management system, in person or online. Ongoing support is available to enhance or edit the website on request. Covers: website backend training, in-person or online training, dedicated support, and phone or email support.
Website Maintenance
We highly recommend regular website maintenance to improve the security of your website. Regular updates add new features and functionality and reduce the risk of being hacked. Covers: updating the CMS and database to the latest version, updating plugins, extensions and apps, and regular backups of the website.

From moodboard to launch in five stages.
Each project passes through five main stages. We understand your audience and competitors, set the visual direction, plan the structure and turn it into draft designs for your review. The process has been refined across 1,500+ projects in 81 verticals.
Brainstorm
We define your target audience, select the right CMS, map the information architecture, and identify the features and integrations your site needs to compete and convert.
UX/UI Design
We create high-fidelity wireframes in Adobe XD, incorporating your brand identity, navigation logic, and conversion-focused layouts. You review and approve before a single line of code is written.
CMS Development
Custom theme and plugin development, CTAs, SEO integration, schema markup, page speed optimization, and framework configuration. Built to spec, not templated.
Testing
Responsive testing across devices, cross-browser compatibility, functional QA, form submission flows, page speed benchmarking, and usability review before any site goes live.
Training & Support
We train your team to manage the backend confidently. Ongoing support, maintenance packages, and performance optimization ensure your site stays fast, secure, and competitive long after launch.

The framework we use to build websites that sell.
Most websites are built by people who think about how they look. This one is about how they sell: the funnel, the proposition, and the landing page, in the order you should work on them.

Do you work with Los Angeles businesses?
Yes, remotely. We run discovery, design presentations and CMS training over video calls, keep the build on a shared staging site you can review anytime, and provide shared reporting on speed, rankings and sales after launch.
Can a visually rich website still load fast?
Yes, if performance is planned from the start. We set performance budgets during design, serve images in modern formats at the right sizes, host video properly, lazy-load media below the fold and keep animation code light. Then we test on real phones before launch.
Do you build ecommerce stores for brands that ship nationwide?
We do. Many of our retail builds are on Shopify or BigCommerce, with editorial product pages, reviews, subscriptions where relevant and integrations with your fulfillment and marketing tools, so the store can sell well beyond Southern California.
Can you work with our photographer or production team?
Yes. We share a shot list and image specifications early, so your photographer or video team captures assets in the right formats, crops and aspect ratios for every template. That saves reshoots, keeps the site consistent and means the art direction in the approved designs actually makes it to the live pages.
How long does a new website take to build?
Most projects land between 6 and 12 weeks from signed scope to live launch. Simple brochure sites on WordPress can be done in 4 weeks. Complex ecommerce builds with custom functionality or data migrations run 12 to 16 weeks. We set a realistic timeline at the start and hold to it with weekly progress updates.
Which platform is right for my business?
It depends on your goals. WordPress is the right choice for most content-heavy businesses, professional services firms, and brands that want maximum SEO flexibility. BigCommerce suits mid-market retailers that are scaling fast. Magento is for enterprise ecommerce with complex catalog requirements. We give you an honest recommendation based on your specific situation, not on what is most profitable for us to build.
Do you include SEO in your web design projects?
Yes, always. Every site we build includes on-page SEO setup as standard: semantic HTML structure, schema markup, XML sitemap, Robots.txt, canonical tags, page speed optimization, and Google Analytics 4 configuration. For clients wanting ongoing SEO campaigns post-launch, we offer integrated web design and SEO retainers that give you a single, coordinated team across both disciplines.
What happens after the website launches?
We include a 30-day post-launch support window on all projects. During that period we fix any bugs or inconsistencies at no charge. After that, clients can move onto a monthly maintenance retainer that covers updates, backups, security monitoring, and priority support. We also offer ongoing SEO retainers to help the site rank and convert over time.
What is the difference between web design and web development?
Web design is how your site looks, reads and flows: brand, layout, navigation and user experience, which we map in Adobe XD. Web development is the build: turning the approved design into a working CMS with custom functionality, integrations, SEO and speed optimization. We deliver both as one project with one team, so nothing gets lost in the handover.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Yes. Every site comes with an intuitive backend management system, and after launch we run a training session with your staff, in person or online, covering how to edit pages, add content and manage the CMS. Dedicated phone and email support is there if you get stuck.
Can you redesign or rebrand my existing website?
Yes. We handle CMS redesigns, redevelopments and rebranding projects. Depending on where you are in your branding lifecycle, we scope the work and show you what your brand will look like on completion before development starts, and we protect existing search rankings during the rebuild.
Will my new website work on mobile?
Yes. Every design is responsive and tested before launch across devices and browsers, alongside functional requirements testing and usability review, so visitors get a seamless experience on desktop, tablet and mobile.
