Elevate Your Online Presence

Is your web design driving engagement and providing a seamless user experience, or is it getting overshadowed by competitors?

Your journey through our web design process:

  • Your journey through our web design process:

  • Conceptualisation

    Utilising insights from the discovery phase, our design team produces two bespoke homepage designs that reflect your feedback and vision. Rigorous internal review, scrutinisation and refinement of both designs then take place before presentation.

  • Final Concept

    Listening attentively to your feedback on the initial designs, we fine-tune the final homepage design to align perfectly with your brand and objectives.

  • Full Website Layout

    Once the final homepage design is perfected, we begin designing the auxiliary pages of the website using Figma. A tool that provides a comprehensive visual representation of the website’s look and functionality.

  • Development

    With the design finalised, we proceed to the development phase, ensuring precise execution, thorough bug testing, and extensive quality assurance to guarantee a flawless website launch.

  • Review

    Before the official launch, you’ll have the opportunity to review the fully developed website in a staging environment. This allows for thorough exploration and a clear understanding of your new website’s seamless user experience.

FAQs:

  • Do you offer aftercare support?

    Absolutely. If you need someone to host and maintain your website, make future changes or guide you through making edits yourself, we’re here to help.

    We have detailed training resources available to our customers, allowing simple self-management of sites. If you’d rather we take care of technical changes, we’ll be here for you around the clock!

  • Do you offer payment plans?

    Of course. We understand just how vital cash flow is for every business. So, to make things easier, we’re happy to offer flexible payment plans.

    Whether it’s simply breaking the cost into smaller chunks or putting you on our award-winning subscription model – we’re here to help you succeed!

  • Can you host the website for me?

    Most of our clients choose to host with us. Not only is it less hassle for everyone involved, but it’s substantially cheaper than your alternatives.

    We host on cutting-edge servers, allowing us to provide the fastest, most secure and most advanced hosting available on the market.

  • Will my website be SEO-optimised?

    Yes – this is our bread and butter. We maintain a very successful internal portfolio of websites visited by thousands of monthly users, so we know what’s needed to get you ranking top on Google.

    We’ll cover all the essential SEO steps for you, so you don’t have to worry. This includes all the fundamentals such as Meta Titles & Descriptions, Alt Text, EXIF Data, Schema Markup, Sitemap Exportation to Google Bing & Apple, Local SEO, Google My Business, Page Speed Insights, and so much more!

  • Can you build in WordPress?

    Of course! We recommend WordPress to many of our clients because it helps keep costs down and is 100% customisable. This means we can deliver the desired results without being limited by the clunky software you’d experience with Wix, Squarespace and other “DIY” platforms.

    Additionally, if SEO is a priority for you, unlike other platforms, WordPress allows customisation of every element, whether that’s utilising multiple schema mark-ups or optimising code for Google Page Speed Insights.

  • Should I build my website in Shopify?

    It would entirely depend on your goals/product. If you’re an e-commerce business, Shopify offers some great benefits versus using the other platforms while keeping things simple compared to custom-built e-commerce sites.

    Are Shopify’s SEO or Design features the best? No, but they’re still pretty good and with our help, we’ll take your project to the next level.

    Shopify’s real strength is in their analytics, arguably the best within the e-commerce landscape.
If you want to utilise data to maximise ROI within e-commerce, it’d be a platform we recommend, and as Shopify Partners, we’re here to assist!

  • Can you build in Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, Weebly and other online website builders?

    Yes. We can build within whatever platform you prefer or are comfortable with.
    Do we recommend it? No. We don’t recommend it because these platforms are highly restrictive for Design, Integrations and SEO… You can only design and develop how their tools allow you and most of these don’t offer much flexibility.
