Responsive

With your website accessible across all devices, your potential customers can contact you on the go! Responsive Web Design is essential for Google rankings, user experience and your reach with a website that looks amazing across phones, tablets and desktop.

Google takes alot of factors into account when ranking your website, but speed & usability are paramount.  We start with keyword research to identify the most searched for terms that relate to your business. These keywords will be used throughout your site to improve your google ranking.

It’s about reverse engineering the success of your direct competition, as well as looking at similar successful businesses in other countries.

Website design

All our projects are designed in Adobe XD before development starts. We design using the latest design principles with the guidance of your desired look. Once the homepage mockup is finalised, the Development stage begins.  

Custom secure email

With a new domain name comes a new email address such as info@website.co.nz. This can be setup to send and receive from your current personal email to keep everything in one place. We also create a customised email that will arrive in your inbox once a customer fills out the contact form on your website.

Sitelock secure

The benefits of a secure website are clear and critical: data breach prevention, business continuity, protection from financial fraud and legal penalties, and the freedom to focus on your core business goals instead of dealing with security headaches.

We develop your website using a finely tuned process, prioritising performance, size and load speed. These factors are the foundation for a solid long term website. With a responsive first Web Design your website will look great on everything from PCs and Macs to smartphones and iPads. Our CMS software makes it very easy for you to edit your website once live.

3 ways to hire me for web design

Let’s chat about your website and and the goals you have for your business. I can make recommendations and give you some options moving forward. I will always be available at short notice for support or to make repairs to your site when needed.

1

New Website

From a Single Page Website to a busy Ecommerce system, I create your website with a high set of standards.  A Single Page Website can upgrade to a Multi Page Website and a Multi Page Website can be upgraded to a Ecommerce Website. The upgrade cost will be the difference in price of the package offered.

2

Website Re-design

Some websites might still look okay, but they are so badly outdated that the search engines barely even bother to show your page. We offer a better price for a re-design as the foundational content and styling can be re used. This speeds up the process and in turn lowers the price.

I provide an hourly rate service for if your current website is broken or in need of updates. Please note that in some circumstances a website is so outdated that I may decline to fix it as it can be too unstable to repair. I will always first audit your site before quoting.

One Page

(Business Website)

If you don’t have a massive amount of content or multiple services to offer, a one page website may be all you need. All our website packages are set up to be upgraded to the next tier of website when needed. It’s a great place to start out if you need a new website for a new business.

Multi Page

(Business Website)

A one page website is great if you offer one service form one location. If you offer multiple services, you will need to have a web page for each of those services and/or locations. A multi page site is also taken more seriously by search engines, avoiding the “content thin” penalties put forward by google

Ecommerce usually goes hand in hand with high monthly/sale fee’s from web builders like Shopify, Etsy, Wix, Prestashop, etc. We create a fully customised woo-commerce websites without the reoccurring monthly fee’s. Chat to us about how we can make your ideal ecommerce store a reality.
