The best websites start with a clear plan. A few hours of preparation before you talk to a designer saves time, money and rework.
1. Decide what the site must do
Do you want phone calls, form enquiries, bookings or online sales? Pick one main goal. Every page should help a visitor take that action.
2. List the pages you need
Most business sites need Home, About, Services (or one page per service), Contact and often a Gallery or Blog. A simple site might have 5 pages. A larger one might have 12 or more.
3. Gather your content
Logo, brand colours, photos, service descriptions and contact details. Missing content is the most common cause of delay.
What affects the price
- The number of pages.
- Custom design compared with a ready-made template.
- Extra features such as forms, maps, booking or payments.
- An online store, and the number of products.
- Writing, photos and translation.
Plan for after launch
A website needs hosting, updates and a plan for getting traffic. Ask what support is included. You can see our website packages on the Web Design page.
