Web Design Services

An award-winning WordPress web design agency.

The Purpose of Web Design

Your website is the face of your business – your chief representative, salesman, shopfront, and hub of your brand’s digital presence.

As the first port of call for potential customers, your website needs to welcome them and form an impressive, lasting impression as well as beautifully presenting your products or services. All the websites we build are informed by, and built on, the extensive knowledge, experience, and boundless creativity of our expert WordPress web design team.

The purpose of great web design is to create an engaging and user-friendly website that effectively communicates your brand message and encourages visitors to take action.

A well-designed website is essential for any business or organisation looking to establish a strong online presence. It not only helps to attract potential customers but also provides a platform to showcase products, services, and brand identity. A poorly designed website, on the other hand, can turn off visitors, negatively impact brand perception, and result in lost opportunities.

Considerations

There are several key factors we consider when working on a web design project:

User Experience (UX)

The overall experience a user has whilst visiting a site, taking into account navigation, ease of use and clear instructions.

Visual Design

Working with typography, colours, images and other visual elements that are impactful and align with the brand’s identity.

Navigation

The structure of a website and how users move from page to page. A well designed navigation ensures users can quickly and easily find the information they need.

Content

The images and words that are published on the site. Copy should be well-written, engaging, easy to understand and optimised for SEO.

Responsiveness

With the increasing use of mobile devices, it’s essential to ensure that a website works well across a range of screen sizes.

Specialists in WordPress Web Design

WordPress is a popular content management system (CMS) that powers more than 40% of all websites on the internet. It’s a versatile platform that allows users to create websites of all sizes and complexities, from simple blogs to e-commerce sites and enterprise-level applications.

Here are some reasons why WordPress is our platform of choice for web design:

Our Web Design Method

Phase 1

Research

We’ll arrange a kick off meeting to define the purpose by getting to know you, your brand and your goals. At this point, we request you supply us with the website content (we can help with this if required). We will also analyse any existing user data to see what works and what doesn’t on your current site.

Phase 2

Planning

We will decide how we’re going to achieve the goals defined in the research phase and will map out the structure of your site, taking into account user experience. Your existing site map will be taken into consideration and where we propose new urls are used we will put redirection rules in place to ensure there is no loss of traffic. 

Phase 3

Design

We will then map out how your site is going to look, function and respond to different devices. At this point we’ll send over a design concept and site map, once these are approved, we will create a sample of wire frames for sign off.

Phase 4

Build

We will commence the site build, adding meta titles and descriptions to each page as it’s created to help with your SEO. Once the build phase is complete, we will begin a snagging period; during this period, we will agree a schedule for snagging with regular meetings to ensure the iterative process is as efficient as possible.

Phase 5

Testing

Once you’re happy with your website we’ll commence the testing phase, putting the new site through a series of rigorous tests. Following our internal testing, you will be invited to carry out testing of the website on our development server prior to launch.

Phase 6

Launch

Once it’s been checked and approved your website will go live to the world. We’ll then carry out post-launch checks and link to Google My Business and Google Analytics. We’re always on hand if you need help maintaining or updating your website, check out our hosting and maintenance service.

Honest Added Value

Website design can be a complex process, involving multiple stakeholders and iterations. It’s important to work with an experienced web design agency that can guide you through the process and create a website that not only looks great but also functions smoothly and delivers results.

We use WordPress for all of our website design projects as it is easy to use, search engine friendly, responsive and scalable. It is also an open source platform meaning there are no license fees and any developer can work on the site in the future.

A specialist WordPress web design agency can ensure the site is built using best practise and efficient coding; we can ensure your site not only looks good, but also performs well. As we build the site, each page will be optimised for search engines and we will link your analytics and search console accounts. We can also create templates and provide training to enable you to manage your content updates in-house post launch.

The project timeframe will vary depending upon the size of the website and our capacity. On average our website design projects take between 8 and 16 weeks from start to launch. We will agree a schedule at the beginning of the project which will include key milestone and deadlines. Check-in meetings will be booked in throughout the project and your project manager will be available any time in between to answer your questions.

The cost to build a website will vary depending on the size and complexity of the website, the technologies used, and the design elements implemented. Our pricing starts from around £3,000 for a simple small website and from £8,000 for more complex sites. We’d recommend you get in touch with us to discuss your project and to get an estimation of cost.
