Website Design

Website Design & Frontend Web Design Services

Improving the design of a web page to engage visitors.

You have approximately 7 seconds to capture a visitor’s attention when they land on your website. Fail to do so and they’ll probably leave quickly and are unlikely to return.

A website should not only give off a great first impression but it should look to engage the visitor immediately to work towards your primary objective, usually this is to buy from the website or to make an enquiry via the website.

Our web design team works with you to understand your brand and sets out a plan to design and build a great website that works in alignment with your brand ensuring that it caters for your target audience and potential customers.

We have familiarity with pretty much every content management system on the market and work regularly with many of the most common ones. We will be able to advise which route is best for your brand and what you have in mind for your website.

Benefits of A Decent Web Design Service

What do we mean by this? Many businesses buy a pre-made theme and hire someone to install it for them and make a few changes to it, usually configurable options within the theme. This isn’t website design but there are companies that claim it is. Sometimes the business (client) will not even know that the “web designer” they have hired has purchased a ready-made theme for them.

A decent web design service is a team of actual web designers that can build a theme from nothing and integrate it seamlessly into the platform of choice.

Branding & Identity

Every business should be serious about their brand and identity. A solid and consistent identity is what helps keeps your brand in people’s memory. Think McDonald’s, Coca Cola or Nike – some of the most recognised brands in the world – and it all starts from a simple brand concept.

Professional

Most online marketplaces are competitive. It’s important that your business comes across as professional, whether that’s in terms of appearance, your provision of customer service or just the look and feel of your presence. Fail at any point and there is plenty of competition for your customers to look elsewhere.

Performance

A website built properly for your business’ needs should be built for optimal performance to present your customers with the best possible experience. Things like how the pages are constructed, laid out and talk to one another will affect how quickly the page loads to your website visitors.

I have worked with Geoff for 8 years and he has been pinnacle in achieving the goal objective……..getting the company to no1 for the keywords set for organic listings in a very competitive market. I can’t recommend his services highly enough. On a personal level I have found Geoff to be accommodating, helpful and easy to work with. Anyone who employs his service in my mind will not be disappointed.

Design Concepts

Before we even being touching a website or a line of code, we would design your web page layouts and provide these to you as flat designs (design concepts) which you would feed back on and sign-off before we start building this with markup.

Bespoke / Custom

Do you want to provide your visitors a unique experience ? We can create a custom design for you based on your brand and visual identity. Custom-designed websites have greater credibility. Instead of having a website that looks like your competitors website, you can really stand-out.

Theme Modifications

If you already have a website with a design that you want to keep or you want to purchase an off-the-shelf theme and have it modified or tweaked, then we can do this. Whilst this is rarely recommended, it can prove to be a cost-effective starting point should budget be minimal.

Responsive Design

More and more web users are using handheld devices for browsing now and this continues to rise. It goes without saying that any design online now should work across the multitude of mobile and tablet devices on the market. Google will also favour websites that are optimised for mobile.

Frontend Development

This consists of any visible elements on a website and the construction of them. Should you require elements on a page to function differently or work better for your customer then this is something we can help with – as well as any design/redesign with HTML, CSS or JavaScript.

User Experience (UX)

Having a great looking web page is one thing but it has to be usable by your customer, the end user. It is therefore to understand the visitor intent and how they will interact with your website so that you can design an interface that provides a great user experience.

Social Media

It is important to ensure that your branding is consistent right across your business including any social media channels your business operates. It often makes sense to use the same designer(s) for your social media graphics and identity as those that designed your website for consistency.

WHAT IS Web Design?

Web design refers to the design of the web page: the architecture, the organisation of pages, the structure and navigation on the site. Usually, there is a lot that goes into the visual representation of how a web page appears when you are browsing a website and all of this comes under the realm of frontend design – which is what our website design service entails.

Website design refers to the visual aesthetics of a web page rather than how it functions. A combination of languages (which would usually consist of HMTL/HTML5, CSS/CSS3, JavaScript/jQuery) are used to construct the elements on the page and lay the page out in a way that works for the website visitor.

Over time, websites can become very dated. Both in terms of design, functionality, the content it holds or even the technologies / programming languages it uses.

Any recognised brand on the internet will update their website from time to time which will usually incorporate a tweaks to its branding and/or a refresh to the overall design of the website.

Any business that has fallen victim of letting their website plod along unmaintained and looking like something from more than 10 years ago would be in need of a redesign of their website realistically.
