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 beginning of a website design we establish exactly what the client is looking to achieve. What style, colours, branding and content are required.
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 discuss and decide upon a budget for the site. Once this information is collected along with text and images we can move to the next step.
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 such as phones and tablets have become incredibly popular. Owners of these devices spend more time using them than ever before. In 2019 it is estimated that more than 50% of all websites in the world will be viewed from a mobile device. This is quite incredible and has risen steadily since 2009 when it was estimated at only 1%.
We ensure that all new websites are fully compatible with mobile devices.

Making the new Website Design visible
It is very important that people can find your website whether it is new or old. Little point having a nice website design which nobody can find in Google or other search engines. We submit any new (or old) websites to Google for indexing. Using our expertise and experience we work behind the scenes on your website, changing and adding things which might not be directly on show. Often overlooked by many designers this technical aspect is critical in making any website visible to the audience.
Frequently Asked Questions about website design
OK, we don’t actually get asked this question often but I’m sure many potential clients are thinking it! We have lots of experience building quality websites and we take pride in our work. We also like things to be perfect and don’t settle for anything less.
Take a look at websites we’ve built and see our client testimonials. You might even want to talk to existing clients, I’m sure they would be happy to recommend our services. If you would like some advice then call 01245 808898 or contact us.
None at all, you can have as many pages as required. The only thing to consider is page content and of course associated cost.
We are very happy to put forward suggestions for content and help with copywriting for you website.
It most certainly will, we only build websites which are fully compatible with mobile devices. This is important since many people spend more time using mobile phones and tablets.
We welcome your design preferences, it enables us to tailor the website to your liking.
Our website hosting prices start from £60 per year. They can be more for extremely large websites or those that have very large numbers of visitors, this is quite unusual though.
There isn’t a short answer to this question. Websites cost anything from £300 upwards depending on the number of pages and complexity of design. As a rough guide you can work on £100 per page. Get in touch and we can explain more and estimate costing.
All new websites we build are based on the WordPress platform. This system by design allows the owner or webmaster to edit all aspects of the website.
We regularly update our clients website content so can do the same for you. If you would like some advice then just call or contact us.
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.
