Columbus web development, from WordPress builds to custom web apps.

Mobilize Cloud is a web development company in Dublin, Ohio. We build custom WordPress sites, integrations, and multi-site platforms, and when WordPress isn’t the right tool, custom web applications in PHP and ASP.NET. Then we stay on to run what we build.

What we build

Websites and web applications, built to be run

  • WordPress development

    Custom themes, Advanced Custom Fields editing screens, Gravity Forms, WooCommerce, and multi-site platforms that put a dozen sites on one standard.

  • Custom web applications

    When the job is a process rather than pages, we build custom web applications in PHP or ASP.NET, whichever fits: accounts, registration, payments, and tools that replace spreadsheets and paper processes.

  • Integrations and APIs

    Connections to your CRM, forms, payments, and the other tools your business already runs on, so information moves between them without retyping.

  • Performance and Core Web Vitals

    We find what slows a site down, whether that’s images, scripts, or a heavy theme, and fix it at the source.

Need the look and the marketing site? That’s web design. Just need WordPress help? See WordPress development.

What we build with

WordPress for websites, PHP and .NET for custom web applications, and the tools around them.

WordPress or custom?

Which one fits your project

Most websites belong on WordPress. Some projects don’t. We build both, so we’ll tell you which one fits.

WordPress fits when

  • The site is mostly pages, posts, and photos your team edits.
  • You need forms, an online store, or listings your editors manage.
  • You run several sites and want them on one standard.
  • You want hosting and maintenance on a flat monthly plan.

A custom web app fits when

  • The work is a process: accounts, registration, payments, or tracking.
  • People sign in to see their own records, history, or certificates.
  • It replaces spreadsheets and paper processes your team has outgrown.
  • Plugins would need so many changes that custom code is simpler to maintain.

Often it’s both. Mango’s Place has WordPress websites we build and host, and Mango’s Hub, the custom web app we built for it.

How a build runs

Scope, build, test, launch, then we stay

  1. 01ScopeWhat it has to do, who uses it, and what it connects to. You get a written scope and price.
  2. 02DesignPage layouts or app screens, reviewed with you on desktop and phone.
  3. 03BuildDevelopment on a staging site you can click through as it comes together.
  4. 04TestSpeed, accessibility, forms, payments, and redirects checked on desktop and phone before anything goes live.
  5. 05Launch and runLive with analytics in place, then hosting, updates, and support from the people who wrote the code.

Most WordPress builds take 6 to 10 weeks. Custom web apps are timed in the written scope.

Questions

Web development questions

What’s the difference between web design and web development?

Web design is how a site looks and reads: the layouts, the visuals, and the marketing site itself. Web development is how it works: the WordPress build, the integrations, and custom web applications. We do both, and most new sites need both.

Should we use WordPress or a custom web application?

If the site is mostly content your team edits, WordPress. If the work is a process, with accounts, registration, payments, or records, a custom web app is often the better fit. We’ll tell you which after a short call, and some projects use both.

What do you build custom web applications in?

PHP and ASP.NET (.NET), whichever fits the project. Mobilize CME, the platform behind Ohio State CCME and Stony Brook Medicine CME, is a custom ASP.NET web application we built and run.

How long does a build take?

Most WordPress builds take 6 to 10 weeks from kickoff to launch. Custom web apps are scoped and timed in the written proposal, since they vary with what the app has to do.

Do you host and support what you build?

Yes. WordPress sites are hosted on WP Engine, where Mobilize Cloud is an agency partner, from $125 a month, with full maintenance from $325. Custom ASP.NET web apps, including Mobilize CME, run on Microsoft Azure, and we support them day to day.

How much does website development cost?

New websites and web apps are quoted to scope. After a short call you get a written scope and price before work starts. Help on an existing custom PHP or ASP.NET web application is $200 an hour, the same rate as on-demand WordPress help.

Do you work on Shopify or other platforms?

Just ask. We may be able to help, and we learn fast.
