Templates just ain't cricket. We don't use WordPress templates.

Q: How do you build a website and what systems do you work with?

We love WordPress . Let’s just get that out there. Normally with most projects we will assess and consult with you on the best framework that we think will offer you the most benefits. The next step will be to provide you with a working demonstration including placeholder information as a proof of concept. Once we are all happy with the design concept then the next step is recreating your website in functional form. Normally we look at a 4-week turnaround providing we have all the information we need.

Our approach ensures every project is a unique digital masterpiece.

The drawbacks when using WordPress templates.

WordPress is a great user friendly content management system packed with useful features in a easy to use framework. Themes are at the heart of WordPress and quite often its easier to buy a ready made template theme off the shelf with little customisation. There a number of reasons why this approach is preferred than a custom build process which comes down to things like speed, cost and pre-built functions. We certainly won’t knock this approach however our process is completely tailored and bespoke. All our projects start from a blank canvas.

It’s important to note while templates can provide a quick and cost-effective solution for some projects, they may not be suitable for businesses who value a unique and tailored online presence, advanced functionality, and long-term scalability. Careful consideration should be given to whether a template or custom design approach is the right fit for your specific needs.

Templates are used by many websites, making it challenging to create a distinctive and unique online presence for your brand.

Are you able to help provide graphic design / stock photography and imagery?

Yes. Both services are available. We have both in-house design support but also we can source imagery should this be required.

Yes. We love developing exciting, rich media-based engaging content.

Once we are all happy with the design concept then the next step is recreating your website in functional form. Normally we look at a 4-week turnaround providing we have all the information we need.

How long does it take to build a website?

This all depends on the brief or the type of website we are developing. However, as a rule of thumb we aim to turn around a project in under 4 weeks start to finish. This is providing we have received all the information needed from you before we start.

I have an existing website built by a third party agency, can you help manage this for me?

Yes. We would normally recommend a health check first before we take over management. This ensures we can reliably serve your business going forward without any mishaps – we do try our best!

What are top-level domains (gTLDs)

An internet address (domain) also referred to as a top-level domain (TLD) comes in a range of varying TLDs, for example:

.com – the gold standard for business and commercial endeavours
.net – ideal for technology, internet service providers, and networking companies
.org – the go-to for organisations, especially non-profits and NGOs
.info – perfect for information-rich websites like blogs, news, and resources
.biz – tailored for business or commercial use, when the traditional .com isn’t available

What content should I provide?

This depends entirely on the project but for example we may require a company overview, the services you offer and any supporting logos and imagery of your business. We offer a logo development service for an additional fee so don’t worry if you are missing any of these elements.

Why choose our digital marketing agency?

Its a good question. Hopefully you do but we always recommend shopping around and finding a partner who fits the brief well. Consider price, location, experience and their body of work. Here’s some of the areas we think are important to us as a business.
