Pricing depends on the type of website you’re looking for and the features you require. The more complex functionality required within the project such as booking, e-commerce of some custom functionality will increase the cost of the project. Our pricing starts at €1550 for a professional brochure site.
As web designers, we work with you and your brand to create a website that serves and represents your business well. The design stage is the first stage of the project. From the design, layout, and structure to the User Experience we discuss your requirements. We ask you to send us samples of sites you like so we can get a feel for your taste. We look at your competitors and see how we can improve so your business can stand out. We then follow on to the mockup stage, where you are presented with design mockups and you give us feedback on what you like and what you think will work well for your business. Once the design is agreed we then move onto the development stage of the site. When the site is ready to launch, the next stage is to create a digital strategy to support the new site, this can involve creating several digital campaigns to get traffic to your new site.
Imagine walking into a chic, modern office space where every detail has been thoughtfully chosen – the furnishings are elegant, the ambiance is inviting, and you can easily find everything you need. That’s the essence of good web design! It’s like a digital handshake; it’s where your customers get the first impression of your brand. A well-designed website seamlessly blends aesthetics with functionality. The color scheme, typography, and images speak to your brand’s personality, while the intuitive navigation and organized layout make sure visitors don’t get lost. It’s about creating an environment where customers feel valued and are encouraged to engage. A good web design is where charm meets professionalism, and your brand’s voice is loud and clear.
A web designer’s main focus is the visuals of the site and the overall user experience, design and theory come into play here. Many web designers have at least basic development skills and usually can build full sites with the help of content management systems. A web developer primarily works on developing more complex websites. They work with code more and work on developing features of a website. This work can get extremely complex. Between the two types of work, there is plenty of overlaps between the two.
Working with a professional web designer and developer is the opposite to a DIY build a site. You are leveraging on their experience in the industry to deliver a website that will by and large work better than 99 percent of DIY sites. Much more effort and strategy is put into the creation of the site.
