Website Design

Aside from photography I also design and build beautiful websites that look great and get results. With over 20 years’ digital and website design experience I’d love to bring your business, products, and services to life online – helping to to generate more leads.

I can take as much or as little off your hands as you need, but typically, a full website design and build project consists of the following:

  • one design (of two pages of your choice)
  • bespoke designs for both desktop and mobile 
  • development of your website in WordPress
  • installation and configuration of required plugins
  • population of content, imagery, and video
  • testing and launch

My website design process

Here’s a little guide so you know roughly what to expect.

1. Design

My design process puts you and your clients at the heart of it all.

I get to know your ideal client, discover what they need and want, and design an online solution that works.

Over my many years as a Nottingham-based website designer I found that of the three designs I used to submit to clients, they’d always go with my first concept.

So rather than spend too many hours during the design process, and to save you money, I design only one concept which can be tweaked as necessary.

Your on-brand designs will be submitted to you for feedback in PDF format, and will show how your site will look on both desktop and mobile devices.

Please note: I only design with final content. So this must be available prior to work commencing.

After I’ve received your feedback I’ll tweak the design as necessary and request sign-off.

2. Build​

After the design has been approved, I’ll use WordPress to build your website. The WordPress platform is sophisticated, yet easy enough for you to navigate and edit your own content.

I’ll start by installing WordPress on your chosen hosting platform and installing the plugins required to get your website functioning as desired.

Please note: I don’t offer website hosting but have a great Nottingham-based hosting partner that most of my clients use.

The design will then be implemented and your website will start to take shape.

3. Content

Some clients like to add their own content, but more often that not, the preference is for me to do it.

I’ll take all of your content, images, video etc. and populate your website, ensuring that everything looks good and provides a great experience for your end user (your client or customer).

4. Functionality

All functionality will have been agreed during the consultation, and might include things like:

  • online bookings
  • event listings
  • client account login
  • blogs
  • online store
  • and much more

The functionality of your website will be designed and implemented inline with the rest of your website.

5. SEO

Although I don’t offer Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) as a monthly service, I’ll make sure that the core pages on your website are SEO-friendly (I’ll also install a plugin that will help you to achieve a good SEO score).

6. Testing & Launch

Before I push the button I’ll go through your site and ensure that everything looks and performs as it should.

I’ll test your site on multiple devices and if you have an old site, I’ll ensure that all old pages are set to redirect to their new equivalent upon launch.

I’ll setup Google Analytics (if required) so you can track how your site is performing, and I’ll submit your sitemap to the Google Search Console (if required) and the Bing equivalent (if required).

Congratulations! Your site will now launch 🙂

As soon as you’ve had a final and thorough check through, you can announce your new site to the world and start attracting more clients.

The whole package

There’s much more to think about than just your website. Things like photography, logo design and branding, copywriting, video, social media and more.

I can help with as much or as little as you’d like and will discuss this with you during our discovery meeting.
