We understand that creating a website can be daunting — but that's where we come in. Our process will take your business online, step by step.
There are a few things we'll need to get in place before starting your website project. Each of the items below are components that make your website live on the internet, with ongoing housekeeping and security. Don't worry — we'll walk you through every single one.
Here's everything that makes up a website — explained without the jargon.
We help create bespoke, engaging and responsive websites tailored to your business and your audience. Owning your own website is a massive investment in your business, and one that only grows larger and more important over time.
We'll design something that shows off your work, communicates your services clearly, and drives the right people to get in touch — whether that's a phone call, an email, or a social media follow.
Your domain name is your address on the internet — for example, yourbusiness.co.uk. Think of it like your shop's address on the high street. Without it, nobody can find you.
Domain names are purchased on yearly or multi-year agreements, and they're used for two things: pointing visitors to your website, and setting up professional email addresses for your business.
Hosting is where your website actually lives on the internet — the files, images and content all need to be stored on a server that's available 24/7. You can think of it like the rent a shop owner pays to keep their premises open.
We use secure, fast and always-available hosting solutions. Once you're happy to move forward you don't need to worry about any of the technical side. We'll handle hosting, security and updates in the background.
An SSL certificate is what puts the padlock icon in your browser's address bar and changes your website address from http:// to https://. It encrypts the connection between your visitor and your website, keeping any data they send — like contact form submissions — safe.
Google also uses HTTPS as a ranking signal, so having an SSL certificate is important for your SEO too. Without one, modern browsers will warn visitors that your site is "not secure" — which isn't a great first impression.
After your website is complete and live, it will need regular maintenance to keep it up to date and secure. Just like a car needs servicing, websites need ongoing attention — software updates, security patches and regular backups all keep things running smoothly.
Updates, backups and our starter security package are included in your website setup as standard. If you'd like increased security, monthly reports and more regular check-ins, these are available as part of our After Care package.
Once your domain is registered, we can set you up with professional email addresses that match your website — for example, [email protected]. It's a small detail that makes a big difference to how professional your business looks.
Emailing customers from a Gmail or Hotmail address when you have a website can undermine the trust you've worked hard to build. A matching email address ties everything together and reassures people they're dealing with a legitimate business.
You have total control over what goes in the window, but there are a few ongoing things to keep it open and running well.
Your website design is your shop front — it's the first thing people see. We make sure it looks great, reflects your brand, and makes it easy for customers to find what they're looking for.
Your domain name is your address. Without it, nobody can find you. It's also what goes on your business cards, email signatures and social media profiles.
Hosting is the rent you pay to keep your website online. We handle the premises — you just focus on running your business.
Just like a physical shop needs cleaning, fixing and securing, your website needs regular maintenance to stay fast, secure and up to date.
Your website content is everything your visitors see and interact with. Here's what you can make use of to engage your audience and grow your business.
Show off your work, your team or your premises with high-quality images. Great photography makes an immediate impression and builds trust.
Video content is one of the most powerful ways to engage visitors. A short intro video or project showcase can say more than a page of text.
What you say about your business matters. We'll help you communicate your services clearly and in a way that speaks directly to your ideal customers.
Make it easy for potential customers to reach you. Contact forms capture enquiries directly into your inbox, day or night.
Let clients book appointments or consultations directly through your website — saving you time and making it easier for them to say yes.
Connect your website to your social channels and give visitors more ways to follow your work and stay in touch with your business.
We're here to make your website design process as simple as possible. Got questions, or ready to kick things off? Drop us a message and we'll take it from there.
