Our Web Design Services

Why do you want a website?

That question seems to be too often overlooked, and yet, it's the most critical. Most business owners know they need a website, but they aren't always sure why. By having unlcear objectives a website can never achieve its full potential.

We build all kinds of websites from: small business information sites, to ecommerce stores, to charity sites, academics' profiles, to complex online databases. And we know all the right questions to ask, to make sure each website is targeted to achieve the best results.

Each website is unique, but most successful websites share a number of features to ensure they perform well and convert visitors into repeat customers. We follow a tried and tested five stage process to ensure each website has all the elements needed for success online.

Step One - Consultation and Planning

We carry out a detailed consultation and analyse the unique elements of the business and its products and start planning the best way to present these to maximum effect. We look at competitors and best practise and start to build a profile of your customers.

Step Two - Concept Design

Before writing a single line of code we create a flat concept design, which shows what the website will look like. You give us feedback about what you like and don't like and this is then worked on until it perfectly reflects your business objectives and character. We focus on clean simple designs and ensure key products are highlighted and appropriate calls to action are in place.

Step Three - Development

We build the site in a private area of the Internet, so you can view all the pages, links and images just as it will be once the site is live. This is the stage when the content is inserted and things start to really take shape.

Step Four - Launch

Now comes the exciting part. Once the development website is ready to enter the world, we carry out an extensive list of final insertions and tweaks to make sure it gets up close and personal with Google and makes a great first impression. We analyse and apply keyword search statistics to maximise traffic and use a variety of tools to confirm the website's robustness.

Step Five - Maintenance

Having a solid technical platform and performing fine tuning tweaks throughout the website's life, but particularly in its first year, will make the difference between success and oblivion. Our dedicated support team are on hand to help with updates and turbo boost the website's effectiveness.

Reasons to use us

Results

A website is an investment - it should make you money. By taking care to understand our client's business; identify customers, unique selling points and target products and services, we ensure the website is streamlined and an effective tool in getting new customers, encouraging repeat business and keeping existing clients impressed and loyal. We won't write a single line of code or begin a concept until all parties are clear on the objectives of the website, and expectations of results.

Communication

We are passionate about speaking in plain English, so we won't say things like 'digital partners creating a user-centred solutions for mission critical calls-to-action including points of reassurance and customer journey profiling' when we could say 'We make websites that are easy to use and make our clients money'. That doesn't mean we don't carry out customer profiling, user-inteface analysis, search phrase indicator equations, USP targeting and much more - it's just that we take more pride in making sure our clients fully understand what's going on, every step of the way, rather than making ourselves look clever.

Time and time again it's our clear communication and genuine friendliness that our clients mention in their feedback.

Honesty

Honesty and ethics are very important to us. It should go without saying really, but we believe that being truthful and doing what's right (rather than what's easy or will make the most instant profit) will reap the greatest rewards in the end. We're not driven purely by profits, we have a balance of priorities. That includes taking pride in our work, keeping our customers happy (we much prefer talking to people who are gushing than complaining) and generally having that warm fuzzy feeling that comes with doing things well.

So if we sound like we might be the web design company for you, why not give us a call to have a chat about your project.
