Website design & build package options
1-page website | Budget friendly
With a budget-friendly 1-page website, you can effortlessly establish your online presence and showcase your services without overwhelming complexity. This streamlined approach ensures that your visitors can easily navigate through the essential information, allowing them to connect with your brand in a meaningful way.
Typically, a one-page website consists of these key sections:
- Landing header: introduction of your brands look and feel.
- Hero section: a combination of copy and an image that quickly explains your business.
- About section: connects visitors to your company’s purpose/vision.
- Services section: 2-3 services expanding on the hero section.
- Call-to-action section: encourages your visitor to make a booking/contact you.
*This option excludes Google Analytics setup
Additional fee to include Google Analytics and cookies setup.
(An additional page will be required for tracking – a cookies policy web page and banner)
Multi-page website | More complex
A multi-page website offers more room to expand and organise your content, allowing you to present your services, products, and information in a clear, structured way. With separate pages for different topics, visitors can easily find exactly what they’re looking for, enhancing their experience and helping you connect with your audience on a deeper level.
This approach offers flexibility for growth and provides a more comprehensive view of your business.
Website pages could include:
- Home
- About
- Projects
- Services
- Contact
- Blogs
- Terms of service
Sitemap planning:
I find it helpful to incorporate sitemap planning to ensure that we both have a clear understanding of the pages to include and the overall user journey of the website.
Hosting and domain set up
I can help you set up website hosting and a domain provider if you haven’t got this.
Hosting providers must work with WordPress.
Website design & build process
Planning
I’ll ask you to complete a brief questionnaire so I can get a better understanding of your website vision and target audience. This is also a good opportunity for us to discuss how you will source your website imagery and content.
Research and design direction
I continue to learn more about your business and competitors. If this project is from scratch I’ll create a simple moodboard that will help in the direction of the website style.
Conceptional stage
From the knowledge I’ve gained through planning and research I begin designing the website concept. I’ll incorporate your existing brand and a selection of the content you’ve provided. I can also select online stock imagery that visually communicates your message effectively.
Revision and feedback
Building your website
After approval of your website design concept, I’ll begin building your website. The theme I use is known for not only a variety of tools and customisable features but also a user-friendly interface where you can update and manage the website yourself going forward.
Share your website
While you’re free to make changes to the design and imagery, I recommend maintaining collaboration with me to ensure a visually cohesive website. By working together, we’ll ensure that your website meets your functional needs and maintains its visual appeal.
Now you can share your new modern and user-friendly website with the world and start promoting your business in style!
Website design and building processes can evolve, reflecting our unique collaboration and the specific needs of the project, ensuring that together we navigate any changes with creativity and flexibility, resulting in a website that is not only functional but also an authentic representation of your vision and values.
