We understand that your website is the beating heart of your digital presence, a place that should reflect the quality of services available to your customers. Websites need to look appealing in order to impress visitors interested in your business - 38% of people say they will stop engaging with a website if the visual impact is unattractive.

Other digital challenges we solve for our clients...

Design that just doesn't work - UX and UI issues (Unusable website that frustrates customers causing them to bounce and join competitors).
Poor accessibility (Website traffic through mobile accounting for more than half and people hate the experience).
Poor communication from current agency (missed sales/ ineffective response times etc).
Poor value from current agency (too expensive, deliverables are not correct etc).
Hard to get answers from current agency.
Failure to understand your business to provide the right solutions.

Our Web Development Process for Success

No one knows your business better than you, and we value your input and industry knowledge every step of the way.

Our web development agency has fine-tuned and streamlined the art of delivering websites that leave our clients delighted and importantly, truly reflecting the quality of their services. The Made Simple Media process includes:

1. Exploration

We carry out research and competitor analysis of websites within your niche to help form a clear and successful plan of foundations.

2. Wireframing

We produce sitemaps and wireframes that create a clear structure of how the website will function and operate.

3. Design

A collaborative process where we add your branding (logo/graphics/images/colour scheme).

4. Development

Our front and back end developers help transition the design into an interactive stage with custom coding.

5. Web Content

Content, either produced in-house or by our copywriting team is added to pages throughout the website.

6. Testing

Before we hand it over, we undertake thorough and stringent testing of all website aspects.

Below we discuss our processes in greater detail so you can discover why each stage is vital in achieving the end goal.

We deliver an initial consultation where we value your thoughts and input on each stage of the plan. This provides a great starting point for your project and the collaboration between our web development agency and yourselves. The websites that we create for our clients follow three simple steps:

Planning it Right. Designing it Right. Building it Right.

But how do we do that exactly?

Plan It

We produce sitemaps and wireframes to distinguish the location of all important pages and where specific elements belong on the page. We make sure you have enough pagetypes to grow the site in the future with minimal development work from our end.

Design It

We’ll add your branding (logo/graphics images/colour scheme). Additionally, web content that resonates well with your audience may also be additionally required. Our web design and development team can assist you with this process.

Build It

Our front and back end developers help bring the idea to life. Normally, building the home page first and gaining your seal of approval before moving onto the next pages.

These are the key components of the process, of course more parts may be necessary for larger projects such as user research, copywriting, or interactive prototypes.

Then, we move onto the testing stage where we use a range of browsers, devices and our website testing software. Finally, we are all set for the launch of your new website when your business is ready to go live.

Market Your Business Successfully

Digital marketing of your business and website is key to achieving success. We ensure our clients websites are built to support marketing services such as SEO and social media marketing.

Our websites come in conjunction with SEO, search engine optimisation; either through a full campaign or on a consultancy basis for boosting your digital strategy. Search engine marketing will drastically improve the quantity and quality of organic traffic to your website, in turn increasing leads, conversions and sales.

How do the websites that we design, develop and build boost SEO marketing?

Google will crawl and index every aspect of your website that is open to do so. A website with a strong structure makes it easier for Google and other search engines to understand. They want to return the best results to their users – multiple factors make up this algorithm including the website content and the website health. Google does not favour sites packed full of errors, often negatively impacting the rankings of multiple pages. Our web development agency delivers an end product that is assembled to provide strong technical SEO foundations throughout, helping any digital marketing campaigns thrive.

The websites our team at Made Simple Media build are user-centred, placing particular importance on a well-designed user interface. This can result in a 200% increase in conversion rates. Similarly, a better UX design can improve conversion rates by 400%.
