Professional Website Design

What is Website Design?

Website Design, is the process of creating the graphic design of each part of the website, and turning that into code (HTML/CSS) that is suitable for the internet.

Our Website Design Principles

We make all our website designs conform to the following rules:

How long will it take?

Again, this will vary depending on the project and also depending on how busy we are at the time. If you are in a rush to get the website completed then we may be able to push your job to get it completed quickly. The quickest we are likely to be able to complete your site is 2 weeks.


How much will it cost?

Obviously as you can understand every website is different so it is not possible to give a price right now but we work with you to figure out exactly how long the site is going to take in work hours and then we price the site based on this.


How we work.?

It is important that the development process is clear and allows the client and developer to work together in the most productive way. Below is a description of the key stages we will work through with you during the development process.

Requirements
Firstly we'll work with you to find out what it is you need from your website. This will include what the business goals for the website are, who visitors to your website will be and what you want them to be able to do, how the website should look in terms of existing branding or the image you want to portray and any technical requirements you may have.

Content
Once we have your requirements we can look at what content will need to go on your website e.g. text, images, downloads, video, flash. The content will be informed by the requirements as it will need to communicate your message(s) to visitors and prompt them to take the action you want.

Structure
Now we know what the content is going to be we can start to structure it and decide what pages are needed and how they should be grouped and linked together. For complex sites we may also look at the different journeys a visitor could take through your website.

Design
The design stage may begin before the structure has been finalised but once this has happened and we know what pages there will be and what will be on them we can finally give you an idea of what the finished website will look like.

Build
Once we have all the content and have finalised the structure and design we can begin to build the pages of your website.


Do you want to redesign?

Your website might be the most aesthetically pleasing piece of work on the Internet, but if Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has not been taken into account during the design phase, you might need to totally redesign your entire website. This might come as a shocker to you especially if people tell you how cool your site looks or if you win design awards. You might also need a redesign if your website’s interface has not changed for many years. It might give people the impression that you do not care about staying current. A website that looks like it is from the 90s is definitely not good in 2011 and going forward.

A website fully created in Flash will require a redesign as soon as possible. The reason for this being SEO. Search engines cannot read the content of your website if all of it is contained in Flash elements. A full Flash website might be okay if you are a large, well-known corporation, but chances are, if you are reading this article, you aren’t a large well known company, and therefore, you should not be using Flash as your main way to display the content on your website. Similar effects can now be accomplished with techniques such as Javascript if you are really concerned about them, which will still allow your site to be indexed and read by the search engines.

If your website is loading slowly, and you have a good host, you are probably using too many images with large files sizes. There are many techniques to lower the file size of images, but you should consider redesigning the website to use less images and more of the modern coding technique, CSS, to accomplish the coloring you want.
