Why does my business need a website?
In today’s digitally focussed world, it’s vital that your business has a website if you want to remain competitive. A website allows you to showcase your products and services, makes your look professional and credible, and gives you the opportunity to connect with your audience. You can also attract new customers through Google and other search engines and encourage customers to contact you.

What is responsive web design?
Responsive web design refers to the design of websites that automatically adapt to the screen size, platform, and orientation. So, whether the site is being viewed on a desktop, tablet, or mobile phone, it’s easy to use and looks great.
A responsive website will automatically adapt to the resolution, image size and scripting abilities of the device the user is viewing the site on. Responsive design reduces the amount of panning, zooming, and scrolling the user will need to carry out when visiting the site.

What is the web design process?
The web design process will vary slightly from site to site, however there are a number of core steps that we always follow.
First things first, we’ll work with you to develop an understanding of your market, your target audience, and your business goals. This will help us build the foundations of your new site. We’ll then carry out an in-depth analysis of the user journey and your audience personas, to develop a UX strategy.
Next, we’ll create the content for your site, keeping in mind your brand guidelines, tone, and style, before working on our initial designs to ensure your products or services really stand out.
We can integrate and test various facilities, including booking forms, ecommerce, and more.

What is a content managed website?
A content management system (CMS) is an application used to manage web content. A content managed website is driven by a database where all the information on your website is stored.
The site will have a backend portal where administrators can log in and update the content or upload or delete images.

What is mobile first design?
If your website looks good and functions well on a mobile device, it will translate better on all devices.
With mobile first design, websites are designed for the smallest screen it will be viewed on (a mobile phone), and then scaled up. Because mobile has more restrictions, the features can be expanded to create the tablet or desktop version of the site.

Mobile first design vs responsive design
Mobile first design puts mobile at the core of the design approach, taking into account the constraints and behaviours associated with browsing on mobile devices, whereas responsive design refers to website designs that automatically adjust based on the size of the user’s screen.
When deciding the best option for your site, it’s important to look at your customer personas – do they mainly browse the web using mobile devices, or do they prefer to use computers?

What does SEO mean in web design?
SEO, Search Engine Optimisation, is vital for any business that operates online and, for maximum results, it should be built into the web design process, rather than added in later. Web design and SEO should work together seamlessly.
The key elements of SEO in web design are mobile friendliness, easy to read design, website speed, sitemaps, and user trust.

Do I need hosting?
If you want a website, you will need web hosting. Your website will be hosted on a server, usually provided by the company that maintains the site for you.
