The Process

Our website design process is a comprehensive journey, from understanding your vision to delivering a beautifully functional site that drives results and engages your audience.

  • Discovery & planning: We start by understanding your goals, audience, and brand identity to define the project scope and objectives. This includes researching competitors and determining the best features for your site.
  • Wireframing & design: Our team creates wireframes and mock-ups to outline the layout, structure, and user flow. Then, we design visually compelling elements that align with your brand’s style and messaging.
  • Development: Once the design is approved, we begin the development phase, coding the front end and back end of the website to bring your design to life, ensuring it’s fully functional and responsive.
  • Testing & review: Before launch, we rigorously test the website across various devices and browsers, checking for usability, speed, and compatibility. Any necessary tweaks are made to ensure everything runs smoothly.
  • Launch & post-launch support: Once everything is perfect, we launch your website. But our work doesn’t stop there! We offer ongoing support, maintenance, and updates to ensure your site remains fresh and secure.

Best practices for web design

To create a website that stands out and delivers exceptional user experiences, it's essential to follow industry best practices that ensure both functionality and design excellence.

Mobile first design

Design your site to be mobile-responsive, ensuring it looks great and functions well on all devices.

Clear navigation

Make navigation intuitive and easy to use, helping users find what they need quickly and encouraging them to stay longer.

Optimised performance

Ensure fast load times by optimising images, code, and server performance, enhancing user experience.

Web design mistakes to avoid

Avoiding common web design mistakes is key to creating a seamless, engaging experience that keeps users on your site and boosts your business’s online success.

  • Neglecting mobile optimisation: Failing to design for mobile users can lead to a poor experience, as more people browse on smartphones and tablets. Ensure your site is responsive across all devices.
  • Complicated navigation: Overcomplicating the navigation structure can confuse visitors. Keep it simple and intuitive, allowing users to easily find what they’re looking for.
  • Ignoring accessibility: Not considering accessibility features, like text size options or screen reader compatibility, can exclude users with disabilities. Make sure your website is inclusive to all.

How algorithm updates effect web design

Google’s algorithm updates can significantly impact website development by influencing how sites are built, optimised, and maintained. Here’s how:

  • Mobile-first indexing: Websites must be fully responsive and mobile-friendly to rank well.
  • Page experience and core web vitals: Speed, interactivity, and visual stability affect rankings, requiring developers to optimise performance.
  • SEO best practices: Updates prioritise high-quality content, clean code, and proper metadata implementation.
  • Security standards: Google favours secure (HTTPS) websites and penalises those with vulnerabilities.
  • User experience (UX): Intuitive navigation, quick load times, and accessibility improvements become essential for better rankings.

Staying up to date with Google’s changes ensures that websites remain competitive, user-friendly, and visible in search results.

FAQ's

Your web design questions answered

What does a web designer do?

A web designer is responsible for creating the visual look and layout of a website. They focus on design elements like layout, colour schemes, fonts, images, and overall aesthetic appeal. Their goal is to ensure the website is visually engaging, user-friendly, and aligned with the brand’s identity. Web designers also work on creating wireframes, prototypes, and ensure that the design is responsive across various devices.

A web designer focuses on the visual and aesthetic aspects of a website, such as layout, design, and user experience. They ensure the site looks appealing and is easy to navigate. A web developer, on the other hand, handles the technical side of website creation, writing the code and ensuring that the website functions properly. Developers work on both the front-end (what users see) and back-end (server-side functionality) to bring the designer’s vision to life.

  1. SEO-first mindset: We design with search engines in mind, ensuring every page is optimised for indexing and ranking.
  2. Responsive and adaptive designs: Your website will look and perform flawlessly on any device, from desktops to smartphones.
  3. Future-proof solutions: We stay ahead of trends, using the latest design principles and technologies to keep your website competitive.
