Features & Benefits
East Lothian Web Design
Responsive Web Design
From phones, to tablets, to desktop computers, there are literally hundreds of devices out there in the market place. This means your website design needs to look good and display clearly on all of them.
Our responsive web designs perform well on any device, making it easy for your prospects to get in touch with you!
Wordpress CMS
To put it simply, WordPress is the engine that drives a website.
WordPress is an open source website creation platform, and is the easiest and most powerful website builder in existence today.
Secure Encryption SSL
Sounds boring…but important!
If your website does not have an SSL certificate, you could be prone to attacks and your customer data could be stolen.
On top of that, web browsers like Google Chrome will warn people that your website is not secure and advise users not to click on your listing!
Don’t worry though, we provide SSL certificates included in our packages at no extra cost!
Website Hosting
Nothing new here, but all websites need to live somewhere. However, not all hosting companies are the same.
Fast website loading times are crucial if you want to keep your visitors happy and engaged!
Thats why I provide fast secure hosting for your website at very reasonable rates.
Plus, when you order your new website design, you get your first years web hosting on the house!
Domain Name
If you are just starting your web design project and don’t have a domain name just yet, I can help you with that!
Depending on your business needs and objectives, I can help you brainstorm, purchase and securely host your business domain name.
Copywriting
Sometimes it can be difficult writing about yourself or your business. Often the obvious things suddenly become the not so obvious!
It’s almost always easier to write about someone else. Why? because we look for the overall picture. This is what they do and this is how they can help someone.
Sometimes we can get lost in the detail instead of emphasising the main features and benefits of the business!
So as part of my website design package, I offer professional copywriting services to help your potential clients see clearly how you can help them!
Photography
Great photography plays a big part in great web design. And your prospects want to see who they will be working with, or what they are going to buy.
That’s why photography is included in my web design packages.
Images are then optimised on Photoshop so they look great and load quickly!
Search Engine Optimisation
When someone’s looking for a business they know or have heard about, they often just google the business name and expect it to show up as the first listing.
However, many businesses simply don’t show up at all! And that doesn’t give the best impression.
That’s why we offer Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) for your business name as standard. Making sure your potential customers can easily find you online!
Email Marketing
Email marketing is one of the best ways to increase sales in your business. If you don’t yet have an email list, there’s no better time to start then now.
Offer something of value in exchange for your prospects contact information, like a voucher or some free information to help solve a problem.
Think of it as a trade off…
A Nail Salon could offer a money off voucher, or a Nail Style Guide (Everything you need to know about nails!) in exchange for permission to send out a newsletter.
Now the salon has a weekly opportunity to target the right people with their branding. They can then promote the benefits of their services to their potential customers week after week!
How We Can Work Together
First we look at your objective, exactly what is it that your website needs to do? A website is not there just to look pretty, it’s a tool that does a certain job, and is often the middleman between you and your ideal customer.
What type of website will I need?
That depends. It may just be a web presence that you need, a reference point for your customers and prospects, and to help make your business look more professional.
If you want to sell some products online, then an E-commerce website, like an online shop would be the best option for you.
If you are trying to woo your prospects into becoming clients for your consulting business, then a lead generating website is the best option. High paying consulting clients first need to get to know you, like you and trust you before shaking on any kind of deal. That’s where email marketing comes in. Once you have a list of prospects who have opted in to your newsletter, you can then systematically educate and motivate them that you are the right choice for them.
Incidently, once you have a lead generating system like this set up, it will generate leads for your business 24/7 365 days per year.
Meet Up
When you are ready to get started, let’s meet up and discuss your Web Design in East Lothian or at a place of your convenience.
We will go over important stuff, such as:
Gathering Content
For a successful Web Design to look great, we are going to need some content!
If you are just starting out with a new website project, one of us will need to write some copy! You may already have written content for the site, and if so that is great. However, if writing copy is not your thing, that is ok too, as I provide professional copywriting services.
Photography
Modern web design is very image orientated, so it’s important to have professional looking images on your website. Thankfully there are options here depending on your needs.
You may well already have some great looking images to use, or we can purchase royalty free images if you need them.
I also provide Photography services as part of my web design package, so together we will create the images your website needs.
The Build
Before we begin designing and building your new website, it’s important to agree on realistic timescales and expectations.
If you are supplying the content, then it’s best we agree a date by which that content will be ready. Same thing at our end. As soon as we receive the content, we can then set a date for the completion of the project. Thereby minimising any delays on delivering the website on time.
By this point we will have a clear plan of what we need to do to create an intuitive user friendly website that your customers and prospects will love to use.
