Web Design FAQs

A: The process begins with Research. I will send you a series of questions via email, which allow me to delve deeper into your needs and goals for the website. After the questionnaire, we arrange a follow-up over the phone or in person, at your convenience, to confirm the direction for your site. At this time it is important that you collect all your content, in the form of text and images. The text will need to be proof read before sending it over as this is how it will apear on your website. Images should be in JPEG or PNG format, at least 1000px resolution.

The next phase is the Design & Development phase, where the look, feel, and flow of your site will be designed. I will send you a link to get some feedback and make adjustments accordingly before it gets to the technical stage of setting up the site. I’ll send you a link for feedback, and we’ll make the necessary adjustments before moving to the technical setup of the site.

After that, we conduct a Final Check & Testing, where I ensure the website functions properly on all major devices. Once you’re satisfied with everything, I perform bug checks and finalize the site. The final payment is due at this point.

Then, it’s time to Go Live! The website will be launched and submitted to Google for listing, which usually takes 1-2 weeks. During this time, you can start promoting your site. Finally, I provide training so you can update your site’s content and images, and even add new pages or blog posts. I’ll share tutorial videos that you can refer to whenever needed.

The timeline for developing a website will vary depending on the type of project and how complex it is. A simple website for informational purposes that would only require 5 or 6 pages takes around two to three weeks, depending on all content, text and images being ready to go. An e-commerce site would take anywhere from 3 to 8 weeks depending on the functionality and product listing detail.

The cost of a website is determined by the amount of information you wish to include in the site the complexity of the site. This includes things like e-commerce, subscriptions, membership, email newsletters etc

As a rule of thumb, you will need a shopping cart or online store if you have over 10 products, or more than one category of products. I can advise you if you need a shopping-cart on your site, or if a simple product page and order form will work for you.

If you want people to find your website, you have to optimize it for search engines like Google. We provide SEO services to ensure your website shows under the relevant keywords and in search engine results and directory listings. Using digital marketing tools, including email newsletters, social media, and content marketing, I can also help you with the best ways to market your website, thereby enhancing exposure and increasing traffic.
