Small Business Website Design

Building a website is not as straightforward as you think. The price really depends on the size and scope of your project.

For example;

• How many pages will you need?
• What functionality and integrations are involved?
• That is; do you require a shop, a booking form or a membership site?
• Do you have a lot of products to add?
• Do you have a lot of content including copy & images?
• Do we need to edit your images?
• Are your page layouts basic or complex?
  Will there be customised layouts for all your pages or just a few?
• All these customisations take time.
• So that’s why every website is priced differently.

Theme or templates

In web design, we refer to the design of the website as the theme or template. That is the design of the website is controlled by the theme.

In order for us to design your website, we will request from you a few links to websites that you like the design of and your color palette. Then we can use these websites as a guide to creating your site.

If you would like a mock-up design of the website before we build it, it will cost an additional $250.00.

We are definitely open to any design ideas you have.

After you have chosen a design we can start the process of building your website.

Images and fonts

Another important design factor is images and fonts. Images and fonts can make a big difference between having a professional-looking website or not. So we will also ask you to choose 3 fonts you like and provide any professional images you have for your website.

If you don’t have any images, we can source these for an additional fee.

We do include some free stock images in our packages.

Do some research yourself

If you want to do some of your own research for designs you are more than welcome. You can do this via Google. Just search for similar websites to yours and we can use it as a guide only.

Otherwise, just leave the design to us. We will base this on the brief and information we receive from you at the beginning of the web design process.

Yes, we can customise page layouts for your entire site.

But if you are on a tight budget, we recommend customising your home page only. And then all other pages can have a similar layout only content and images changed.

But in saying that, all our small business website design packages include a custom-designed home page. This means the home page will always look different from all other pages on your website.

The home page should showcase your website. We will set up your home page relevant to your business goals.

Content will be placed strategically to maximise conversion rates. Important content should also be noticeable from the moment the visitor lands on this page. Prompting users to take the appropriate action.

We can use templates if you wish to keep the budget down. And will show you which templates we feel you would like best based on your brief.

We have over 16 years of experience in small business web design. Therefore can advise you on the best landing page to convert visitors to customers.

• We will add all the content for all our small business website design packages.
• You MUST supply us with all written content as text in Word or open doc.
• All content must be proofread by you (the client) before submitting to us.
• We allow some small changes to text or images. But not endless. This will be discussed with you at the start of the project.
• If you have a shop however with 100s of products, we will discuss your options for this.

Yes, we can source and supply images. Obviously, this will add to the cost. So again it depends on your budget.

If you have your own images we can use them.

Images will be discussed at the start of the project.

If you require a logo we have an in-house graphic designer who can create you a professional logo for an additional fee.

SEO is a huge process and costs a lot more money to set up. So for our packages, we only set up basic SEO for your home page to help that page rank for your business name. However, SEO helps the search engines to rank your site appropriately. We can talk about this once your site is built and online.

For all our web design packages, we offer some free training. Just for basic things like how to edit a page, add a post, add an image. We use a remote assistant application to train at your convenience.
