Web design.
A website is a valuable digital business asset that forms part of your marketing strategy.
From starter sites to bespoke websites, there is a web design option to suit your needs! I provide web design services for clients of all sizes in various industries.
How I approach your web design project
CMS
I create websites using Content Management Systems (CMS). This enables you to have a self-managed website where you can update and maintain the site yourself.
Briefing Session
All web design projects start with a detailed briefing session to map out your website requirements (content, functionality and visual style) as well as your site goals.
Landscape Audit
Before site creation, I conduct a landscape audit of the sites of your top two competitors and industry thought leaders. It highlights best practices and provides market insights.
Branding
Your website design will be aligned to your brand’s visual identity. If you don’t have a visual identity I will recommend a suitable colour scheme and add a placeholder logo as a gap fill solution.
Responsive Web Design
Your website will have a responsive design in order to display well on devices with different screen sizes like desktop computers, notebooks, tablets and mobile phones.
User Friendly
There are a number of user experience factors that are taken into consideration during the creation of your site, e.g. ease of use and efficiency in performing tasks.
Site Speed
Your site speed is dependent on your hosting, optimisation of elements within your site and 3rd party optimisation tools. I optimise elements within your site, track page load time during design and will discuss additional performance tools with you.
Precautions
Cyber security is outside the scope of your web design project, as I am not a cyber security expert. In support of security I implement precautions such as a security monitoring tool, SSL, 2FA and recommend using a PCI-DSS Level 1 payment processor.
Data Collection
Legal compliance is outside the scope of your web design project, as I am not a legal expert. I do however implement the following on all websites as part of data compliance: PII data consent on forms and cookie management settings (consent, change, withdraw).
Feedback Sessions
I know that entrusting your project to a freelancer can be daunting. That is why I schedule weekly virtual feedback sessions with my clients to provide in-person updates. You’ll never be in the dark about what’s happening with your project.
Domain Name & Hosting
In order for your site to go live, you need to register a domain name (annual fee) and sign up for domain hosting (monthly fee). I will assist you with the process of registering a domain name and setting up web hosting with a suitable provider.
Google Analytics
I will set up Google Analytics for your website which will give you free access to website traffic and usage statistics. If you would like me to analyse, package and present the website statistics to you, I will provide you with a cost based on the scope.
Add-ons
SEO
Optimise your website to rank well in Google’s organic (non-paid) search results. I take care of your on-site SEO and partner with SEO experts for keyword research, content creation and link building. Priced on scope.
Monthly Website Care
Your website will require ongoing maintenance to ensure optimal performance and guard against vulnerabilities. I provide website care plans where you can outsource your website maintenance to me.
Website Content Audits
If you have an existing website that you would like to upgrade, a website content audit is a useful point of departure. Content audits are quoted based on the size of the site and scope of the audit.
