In essence custom web design can be considered a luxury service. As you may know there are thousands of ready templates and designs that you can choose from which come at a fraction of the price. If looking for a quick and budget solution going with “guided design” with one of these ready templates might as well be the best route. However, none of these templates will be able to truly capture your brand. Furthermore, most certainly a few similarly designed websites will exist and it is truly difficult to find templates or themes that will mesmerize visitors and permanently engrave your brand in their memories. Last but definitely not least, very few ready designs will be optimized to your website goals.

On the contrary, with our custom web design service every single detail in the design is thought about. From layout and colours to iconography and typography, everything is tailored to truly convey your brand and achieve high conversion on the goals you have, whether it may be for the visitor to purchase, get in touch or simply share the website: everything is thought through! Thus to put in perspective, it takes us around 10-12 hours of work to put a concept together (excluding revisions)! So whether you need this service or not essentially boils down to a trade-off between quality and price, and that’s ultimately for you to decide!

Custom design is specifically for web design only and does not include any development. Within this offer you get a fully custom designed webpage, with everything from layout to icons tailor made just for your brand. You also get the fully editable source file ready for development (this is typically a Figma link unless desired otherwise). 

Once you have this design, you can decide whether you want us to create the page in WordPress or have it coded in HTML / CSS /JS.

We can only build a custom developed HTML / CSS /JS web page with a Figma/Sketch/Adobe XD/Photoshop design to work from. If you do not want to pay for a custom design stage, we can help you find a suitable WordPress theme and create your website using this exisiting theme.

WordPress, Wix and SquareSpace are all examples of CMS (Content Management Systems).

Wix and SquareSpace have similarities in their easy-to-use interface, low cost options and accessibility to new web designers, but also in their shortcomings with respect to scalability and customisation. Both are better suited for simple websites, such as blogs and portfolios, but SquareSpace offers more eye-catching designs and Wix has more variety of templates.

For complete control over your website, for the potential for customisation and scalability, and for availability of a wide range of plugins and features, WordPress is by far the best option. WordPress is less beginner friendly: we’ve invested the time and energy in becoming complete experts in WordPress development to deliver you custom WordPress sites so you don’t have to learn an entirely new skill! Once your WordPress site is created though, you will be able to easily maintain and update without our assistance.

So in a nutshell: if you’re only interested in having a basic website, with limited functionality then you can build and manage it without the need of experienced developers in Wix or SquareSpace, all by yourself. If you’re looking for a website with some more complex functionality, with a unique design and lower monthly fees then we’re here to help! (-unless learning how to use WordPress is on your bucket list 😉)

As the name suggests, the difference is in the number of pages – a one page anchor website is typically used as a landing page or for informational purposes. The difference from a standard landing page is that this one page website can still have a navigation menu at the top, like a multi-page website, except instead of linking to different pages, the navigation menu items when pressed scroll to the relevant section on the page. Each section that can be “auto-scrolled” to from the navigation menu has an “anchor” placed in the code, thus name: anchor website!

The vast majority of our websites are built with WordPress – a user friendly CMS. We set up the structure and layout of your site on WordPress, and once we sign off the project, we provide a screen recording tutorial showing how you can easily edit contents, upload blogs, add products and change pretty much anything you need to (as long as its not drastic structural changes).

We believe as the business owner, you should be in full control of your website without relying on us for simple updates – such as updating product prices and descriptions, uploading blogs and other contents.

If updating your site isn’t something you’re interested in doing however, we do provide monthly maintenance packages. Please get in touch for more information!
