Web Design Services

Web Design Services Overview

Your website is the beating heart of your digital and online presence. Keeping it alive and working for you is therefore essential.

We have designed and built hundreds of websites for a broad range of clients from start-ups and local enterprises to multinational companies and charities. Our work ranges from designing sites from scratch to comprehensive re-designs and ongoing maintenance.

Across Horsham, Crawley,  West Sussex, London and further afield, we have built up a strong client base and are always looking for new clients to develop exciting new solutions for.  

Delivering excellent customer service, we "make digital simple" for our clients, so they come back to us for support and help with their next big idea or project.

Planning for success

No one knows your business better than you, so to ensure the success of your project, we keep you involved every step of the way.

We get your project off to the best start during the initial consultation where we listen to your expectations and needs. Our team then map out the rest of the project based on what you say. Our comprehensive web design service centres around a simple process. 

Our process is:  Plan it Right. Design it Right. Build it Right.

But how do we do that?

• Plan it
  We produce sitemaps and wireframes to work out where all the important pages need to be and where elements sit in the page.  We make sure you have enough pagetypes to grow the site in the future with minimal development work from us.  We may even explore the user journey for your target audiences to make sure they can all find what they want quickly
   
• Design it
  Once you’ve approved the sitemap and wireframes, you can move onto the design stage, this is where we’ll add your branding (logo/graphics images/colour scheme). At this stage additional content may also be required and we can work with you to ensure this resonates with your audience.
   
• Build it
  This is where we do the coding and the website moves into being interactive. Normally building the home page first and getting your approval before moving onto the next pages.

These are the basic parts of the process, of course there may be much more to larger projects such as user research, copywriting, or interactive prototypes.

Once these stages are complete and we have your approval, we move onto the testing stage of our web design service where we use a range of browsers and devices and our website testing software.  Then we are set for launching the new website in all it’s glory when you are ready to go live. 

This ongoing communication drives the success of our projects, keeps our clients on our books and returning for future collaborations. To learn more, see what our clients have to say or read up on our approach.

Cutting-edge web design service

We strive to design and build you an excellent website, designed to work hard for your business or organisation and a joy for you to work with.

Our platform of choice is ConcreteCMS because it is a cutting-edge Content Management System (CMS) with up-to-date code, running on very recent versions of PHP which means it has excellent longevity.  Therefore you can  get many years out of the website, making it a worthwhile and sensible investment for your business.

We pride our web design services on delivering modern designs that function to stand the test of time well, using the screen space well, being mobile friendly and with excellent accessibility.

You may have ideas for "phase 2" or "phase 3" after the initial build and almost anything is possible with a quality bespoke website build.  You won't be hitting any walls like you can with website builders and may want to view this comparison: Why go for a bespoke website rather than using a website builder?

Web design services in harmony with your marketing needs

Marketing your business, and your website in particular, is crucial to achieving success. We ensure our clients websites are created with marketing friendly foundations that allow the web pages to flourish when supported by an adequate marketing budget. 

Our web design services come in conjunction with SEO, search engine optimisation, if desired or provided as an additional service to those who are happy with their website but want to boost their number of visitors. The main aim of SEO is to increase the quantity and quality of organic traffic, in turn increasing leads, conversions and sales. 

How do the websites that we design and build successfully help with SEO marketing? 

Google and other search engines crawl every aspect of your website that is open to do so. They want to return the highest quality results to their users – this includes the content and the general health of the website. Search engines do not favour websites that are full of errors, often hindering the ranking potential of multiple pages. Hence, our web design services are assembled to provide strong technical SEO throughout. 

Web design services that support you, always

We never undertake a project knowing that our client will have to go elsewhere for support.  We want to continue to work with you, supporting you and your website.

Always here to help, we work with you to make your next big idea a reality and answer your technical questions and be proactive, especially when you need help, fast.

We know that support and care for your website is important, that's why we invented support packages that are tailor mode for enhancing the web design service we are able to provide for our clients. The packages are designed to keep on top of your support and maintenance requirements.
