What Makes a website successful?

The key to having a high-performance website is the result of an optimized front-end and back-end website experience.

 

A solid front end ensures that visitors can easily navigate, engage with content, and take desired actions, while a robust back end ensures efficient data handling, quick loading times, and secure transactions.

 

By harmonizing these two aspects, your website will attract and retain users while delivering a smooth and reliable experience, leading to higher engagement, conversions, and overall success.

Beautiful UI/UX for Optimum User Experience

A well-designed UI focuses on visual appeal, intuitive navigation, and clear communication, while UX focuses on understanding and meeting user needs, ensuring smooth interactions and a positive overall experience.

 

A great UI takes into account the principles of simplicity, consistency, and responsiveness. A great UX involves understanding users’ goals, needs, and behaviors, and designing interfaces that meet those requirements. 

 

Often overlooked, investing in great UI/UX enhances user satisfaction, encourages repeat visits, drives conversions, and strengthens the overall success of the website.

Web Design Roadmap

Every website is strategically planned, designed and crafted in collaboration with you.

We help you bring your website to life.

PHASE 1

Discovery & Direction

In the discovery and direction phase, we dive deep into understanding your business, target audience, and goals. We conduct comprehensive research to gather insights and define the project’s direction. By gaining a clear understanding of your unique selling proposition, brand identity, and desired outcomes, we establish a solid foundation for the web design project.

PHASE 2

Web Design & Exploration

Once we have a clear direction, we move on to the web design phase. This involves creating mockups, and visual designs that align with your brand identity and user experience goals. We explore different design concepts, typography, and imagery to create a visually appealing and engaging website. We also take your feedback to refine the design until we achieve a final approved design.

We take the approved design and bring it to life using the latest web technologies and coding practices. This phase includes front-end development, back-end development, integration of necessary functionalities, and content population.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much does web design cost?

The world’s most applicable answer: it depends. The cost of a website varies depending on factors such as complexity, features, and the number of pages. Our pricing is based off the estimated amount of time it will take to finish your project. As a small business owner, we understand how difficult it can be to invest in your company. That’s why we provide honest pricing, keep our rates competitive and are happy to tailor packages to fit your budget. As a starting point, our websites start at just $999. 

How long does it take to design and build a website?

The timeline for designing and building a website depends on its size, complexity, and the availability of content and resources. One of the common ways a project is delayed is when clients are slow to provide assets for the website, such as images or copywrite. The time to complete a project from beginning to end can range from a few weeks for a starter website to several months for a large-scale, custom-built enterprise project.

How can I optimize my website for search engines (SEO)?

There are many variables at play in the back-end of optimizing a website. To optimize a website for search engines, it is important to have well-structured content, relevant keywords, proper meta tags, fast loading times, mobile responsiveness, quality backlinks, and a user-friendly navigation structure. We take all of the listed features into consideration in the mockup design phase and the developing your website phase.

What is the difference between a template-based website and a custom website?

WordPress and Shopify have thousands of user-created templates for difference service providers and business owners. A template-based website use a pre-designed templates with limited customization options. This is the fastest way of creating a website since you can “plug-and-play” your assets into the template. A custom website is built from scratch without the use of a theme engine. Custom websites are tailored to your specific needs and branding, and may include custom navigation, assets, design elements, and more. 

Can I update the content of my website myself?

Yes, of course! WordPress and Shopify make it easy to update and manage content using a user-friendly admin interface. Our clients that choose the Custom or Enterprise web design plan receive a personal training video on how to manage or update content yourself. We do offer a website & seo maintenance plan for business owners who are less tech savvy and would rather have us keep the website up-to-date, maintain security, make small changes & continously improve SEO all for $699 a month.

Should I include a blog on my website?

Yes, we think you should! Having a blog can be beneficial for sharing valuable content, keeping informed with new trends surrounding your business, improving search engine rankings, establishing thought leadership, and engaging with your audience. The most important reason is it helps with ranking for new keywords, which will increase your SEO, and your organic traffic over time! If blogging isn’t your passion or something you want to do, our website & seo maintenance plan includes monthly blog posts that we post on your website, social media, and submit to other websites.

Do you provide a domain name & website hosting?

No. You will be responsible for your website domain name and hosting provider. This allows you to retain full control over the domain and website files if you ever decide to switch servers or domains. We can recommend some reliable website hosts and will help with website migration in the event you need it.

Who writes the website text?

We request and encourage that you write and supply all of the text that you want for your business. After all, you know your business best. Often times companies have brochures, flyers or presentations that already include important information about your business. During our onboarding process, we request all this information which will help us create a more informative website for your visitors.
