prices
Prices start from £1,500. As each project is unique to your own business needs it’s not possible to give an exact price for your project without discussing your requirements first.
You can choose to pay monthly or an up front cost and once your website is finished you own it and will never be charged a leaving fee.
The web design process
1. strategy
Our strategy meeting, normally done over video, lays the foundations for the project. We’ll clarify your website’s goals, your target audience, and work out a plan for the project.
2. content & wireframes
The next step is to work out where pages will sit within the navigation, what content will be on each page and, if necessary, wireframes that show where content and call to actions will be placed on a page.
3. design visuals
Now we have the basic structure of the website I will create a design visual of the homepage and any other agreed pages. Designs will incorporate colours and graphics that reflect your brand.
4. website build
Once you’re happy with the design of the mock-up a demo version of your website will be built. You’ll have access to the build to see how it progresses. At this stage we normally continue to add any outstanding content and images.
5. testing & launch
Once the demo of your site is completed we test the design and functionality across different browsers and devices. Once we’re completely happy with it and ironed out any niggles it’s time to launch the site to your audience!
6. tracking, training & ongoing support
Now the new website is live we can add Google Analytics so you can track visitors and also set it up on the Goole Search Console. You’ll receive one-to-one training so that you’re confident in managing the website yourself with the option to join up to my monthly care plan after launch.
Did you know your website has a carbon footprint?
By using a green hosting provider and applying sustainable web design techniques your website can play a part in making your business more sustainable.

Hosting, maintenance & content plans
Once your brand new website is launched it feels natural to take a step back now your project is completed. But websites work best when they are updated, supported and given some general care and attention. I can continue to help and support your business by offering a website care plan to suit your business needs.
