Website Design
This section allows you to rate some basic questions about the website or eCommerce store you are looking for.
Please treat all these questions as relevant or hypothetical (and budget permitting).
How important is it that your website highlights the strengths and aspirations of your business?
How important is it that your website looks professional, is well thought out and structured?
How important is it that your visitors find your site engaging, easy to navigate, and informative?
Working together
This section highlights some points that you might not have previously considered relevant when choosing a web design / development company to work with.
Some web design companies use foreign agencies for their development work - we do not and all communications are handled by our senior advisors, with many years experience dealing directly with clients and developing sites.
How important is it that you are working directly with a knowledgeable and skilled communicator?
Do you need help with the wording (copy) on your website?
Do you need help finding or processing images for your site?
Hosting and support
This section covers hosting and support, it uses our Care hosting as a baseline.
Some web design agencies hand off the sites they have built to 3rd party hosting companies and move on.
How important is it that your website is long lasting?
How important is it that when a visitor on your site contacts you via a form that you receive the message
How important is it that your website is kept secure, up to date and maintained?
How important is it that you know help and support is always available?
How important is it to know that if your site goes down, is hacked or breaks that it will be repaired and restored at no extra cost or worry?
Bespoke design
By default all the sites we develop are bespoke and we design and develop your site around your business.
A number of web design companies purchase themes and then add your content to that theme working with the pre-developed functionality. Sites using third party themes can run into all kinds of problems, sometimes making it impossible to fix even simple issues.
How important is it that your website is developed around your business rather than your business forced into an existing template?
How important is it that your site has been designed to be easily updated and amended?
How important to you is having website peace of mind?
Do you like surprises?
Websites that do not have active maintenance subscriptions or are using 3rd party hosting are subject to going down at any time. There are a number of reasons for this but on every occasion you could find yourself with additional expenses to get your site up and running again!
Some ways your site can be affected:
- Your hosting company updates their servers which breaks your site
- Your site gets hacked and suspended
- An attempted hack just breaks your site
- Your site just stops working as expected
How important is it to you to have a fixed monthly subscription without any surprises?
