We offer a specific range of services that utilises our experience. However, if you'd like us to work on something different we're always open to conversation.
Website Design
Includes research, site map, wireframes and mock ups of the web pages. Laxmi (graphic designer) looks at the User Experience, and how to connect with the audience in a creative way.
Website Development
Dom (web developer) builds our websites from scratch. We don't use templates or click and drag solutions to maintain best creative flexibility and optimisation more specific to our clients� needs, which is a part of our on-page SEO strategy.
Creative Direction
This is an optional step within the website design, however we strongly encourage it. We will create and explore the concept of your identity as a business. We will look at how to communicate it effectively within the website.
Website Maintenance
A monthly clean up and maintenance of the website. We update the foundation the website is run on, visually check the website on desktop and mobile, back up all the files and databases and fix any security vulnerabilities.
Website benchmarks
In a nutshell a benchmark session is a conversation about how to make easy and impactful changes to your website to increase sales. We consider your business' purpose and assess how you can improve your visual communication, user journey, any design inconsistencies, your page speed, and on-site SEO. At the end you also receive a report with actionable tasks and extra tips. There are two sessions, you can pick one or both: Design Benchmark and Development Benchmark. We understand that as a small business budget is important for you, so we propose you choose how much to pay based on how much value you received.
Design Benchmark
In the design we will be looking for:
- How well your visual communication reflects your purpose/your mission. Will the user understand what you are about in less than 15 seconds (the average time spent on the website.)
- Design consistency - is your communication throughout the website consistent, does it all flow together?
- If the User Experience and User Journey are thought out. An example of this would be making sure the 'Calls to Action' are in the right places to nudge the user in the right way. This is also where we look at accessibility from design perspective.
On-page SEO Benchmarks
- Page speed and how to improve it. When you have less than 15 seconds to impress someone and your website takes 5 seconds to load, you're missing out on valuable time.
- On-site SEO, which involves correctly using and organising website elements, content and crawlability.
- Ensuring your website is compliant with accessibility standards.
“Laxmi and Dom have been great to work with! Excellent designers that can capture your vision and turn it into reality. Extremely responsive also. Deadlines met and I loved the timeline provided so I knew what was happening with my client's website. Once the website is live you are not just left to get on with it, Dom responded to all of my emails and helped with anything I raised.”
“Dom built the bespoke parts of my Wordpress website and did a great job. He always communicated clearly and, most importantly, he's always honest about what he can and can't do. I've worked with a number of developers, and Dom has been the best - by a long shot. Highly recommended.”
“Laxmi made the thorough process of developing a website feel like a walk in the park. The company is well organised, with regular meetings to set goals and expectations and meeting their deadlines. And kudos for the capacity to work in ambiguous situations. Great job!”
