Website Design Services
We can produce a new website design that meets the very latest standards. Maybe you simply want an existing website design updating, we can help with that to. Please see the frequently asked questions section below for more information.
Planning the Website Design
At the start of every website design project, we take the time to understand exactly what the client wants to achieve. This includes defining the purpose of the site, identifying the target audience, and clarifying the goals – whether that’s generating leads, driving sales, or sharing information. We also discuss style preferences, colours, branding guidelines, and the type of content needed to ensure the finished design not only looks professional, but also aligns perfectly with the client’s vision and objectives.
Based on experience we will advise on pages and potential layout options for the website. This is a critical phase in website development, it sets the stage, great planning results in successful project.
Importantly, we also take time to discuss and agree on a clear budget for the website, ensuring it matches the client’s goals and expectations. Once this is in place, and we’ve gathered the necessary text, images, and other content, we can move forward with the design and build.
To keep the process transparent and manageable, we work on a three-stage payment plan:
-
Initial deposit – to secure the project and begin planning.
-
Design stage payment – once the draft layouts and structure are approved.
-
Final balance – upon completion and just before the site goes live.
This approach gives clients peace of mind, spreads the cost fairly, and ensures both parties are fully committed at each stage.
Starting the Website Design
At this stage we begin the actual design and construction of the website. Laying out the pages, inserting the text and images. Chosen colour scheme is applied along with the styling. We also get to work on the technical side, most of which is hidden in the background.
Since 2009, mobile devices like phones and tablets have become increasingly dominant for accessing the internet. Back then, mobile traffic was barely 1% of total global web usage. Today, in 2025, mobile devices account for about 60-63% of all website traffic worldwide, with desktops down to roughly 36-40% and tablets filling in the small remainder. This shift underscores how critical it is for websites to be mobile-friendly and optimized for smaller screens.
We ensure that all new websites are fully compatible with mobile devices.
Computer vs Mobile website viewing
Making the new Website Design visible
A great website is only effective if people can find it. That’s why search visibility is just as important as design. Whether your site is brand new or has been online for years, we ensure it is properly submitted to Google for indexing and set up for success in search engines.
Behind the scenes, we apply our expertise to optimize the technical foundations of your website – adjusting structure, code, and content elements that may not be visible on the surface but are vital for search performance. This technical SEO work is often overlooked by many designers, yet it plays a critical role in making your site discoverable by the right audience.

There are several popular website builder companies like 1&1 and Wix who advertise on TV. They provide a relatively simple solution but there are restrictions when using them. Normally we recommend against using this kind of website builder and prefer to use WordPress which is very flexible and future proof.
Once you have registered the domain name and arranged hosting you can certainly have a go at building your own website. Normally we would recommend using WordPress as a base for this. If you do try to design your own site and need any assistance then please get in touch, we are happy to help.
We advise caution when someone you know suggests they can design your website! Unless it is something they have done before or they are using a well regarded platform the best advice is to be careful. If you would like some advice then just call or contact us.
