Planning the Website Design

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]At the start of every website design project, we take the time to understand exactly what the client wants to achieve. This includes defining the purpose of the site, identifying the target audience, and clarifying the goals – whether that’s generating leads, driving sales, or sharing information. We also discuss style preferences, colours, branding guidelines, and the type of content needed to ensure the finished design not only looks professional, but also aligns perfectly with the client’s vision and objectives.

Based on experience we will advise on pages and potential layout options for the website. This is a critical phase in website development, it sets the stage, great planning results in successful project.

Importantly, we also take time to discuss and agree on a clear budget for the website, ensuring it matches the client’s goals and expectations. Once this is in place, and we’ve gathered the necessary text, images, and other content, we can move forward with the design and build.

To keep the process transparent and manageable, we work on a three-stage payment plan:

1. Initial deposit – to secure the project and begin planning.

2. Design stage payment – once the draft layouts and structure are approved.

3. Final balance – upon completion and just before the site goes live.

This approach gives clients peace of mind, spreads the cost fairly, and ensures both parties are fully committed at each stage.

Starting the Website Design

[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text]At this stage we begin the actual design and construction of the website. Laying out the pages, inserting the text and images. Chosen colour scheme is applied along with the styling. We also get to work on the technical side, most of which is hidden in the background.

Since 2009, mobile devices like phones and tablets have become increasingly dominant for accessing the internet. Back then, mobile traffic was barely 1% of total global web usage. Today, in 2025, mobile devices account for about 60-63% of all website traffic worldwide, with desktops down to roughly 36-40% and tablets filling in the small remainder. This shift underscores how critical it is for websites to be mobile-friendly and optimized for smaller screens.

We ensure that all new websites are fully compatible with mobile devices.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Making the new Website Design visible

[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text]

A great website is only effective if people can find it. That’s why search visibility is just as important as design. Whether your site is brand new or has been online for years, we ensure it is properly submitted to Google for indexing and set up for success in search engines.

Behind the scenes, we apply our expertise to optimize the technical foundations of your website – adjusting structure, code, and content elements that may not be visible on the surface but are vital for search performance. This technical SEO work is often overlooked by many designers, yet it plays a critical role in making your site discoverable by the right audience.

WordPress is flexible, widely supported, and easy to manage. As of 2025, approximately 43-45% of all websites globally use WordPress, and among sites using a known content management system (CMS), its share jumps to around 60-62%. This makes WordPress the most popular CMS by far, with a strong ecosystem of themes, plugins, and developer support.
