Website Design

It starts with pen and paper

We offer website design exclusively developed on the WordPress platform. It has become the most popular alternative to standard HTML website design. Best of all, WordPress offers an economical way to create a multi-use website that you can easily update. If you want customers to find you, WordPress websites are easier to optimize for search engines such as Google than standard websites so for “SEO” it is the way to go.

The below website samples show the variety of custom website styles we have created using WordPress. Click the url link in each description to see the full site. If you want to find out more about the process of designing your site click here to contact us

The process

Who Knows your business better than you do?

As a company we prefer to collaborate with our clients instead of telling them what is right and wrong, we will always provide design tips and ideas, but ultimately you know the image you want to present. Our job is to make that image a reality.

We have encountered many instances where businesses have paid other designers a lot of money to create a website, unfortunately the delivered product has fallen short of expectations. This is why we choose the collaboration path as opposed to the “we are web designers, we know best”.

A business specialist will sit down with you (or contact via Skype video call) to discuss your requirements.
We will ask you how you would like your site to look. i.e. comparable to your competition, a new fresh design etc.
We will go away and come back with ideas in regards to layouts etc.
Once you are happy with our direction we will proceed to develop and deliver your site.

Obviously once development has commenced small tweaks and alterations will occur, this is the nature of design, but if we have done the above correctly DiD-Digital and you, our client should be quite happy with the finished product.

Our Tools

We exclusively use WordPress, there are a lot of designers who refuse to do this and even more who refuse to admit they use it. A site which in the past could take months to develop using standard html etc. can now be created in WordPress within weeks, or if it is a one page site it could take days.

In 2014 there were 76 million websites running WordPress worldwide, this number increasing at a rate of 50,000 new sites a day since then, as of 2016 WordPress sites account for 26% of all websites online.

As web designers main reasons for using WordPress for website design are as follows

The Design and layout of your site is limited solely by your imagination
Widespread support options
Easy to manage and update
Integrates seamlessly with social medi
SEO friendly.

In respect to design, there are tens of thousands of themes available, one of which will suit your needs, and if not one can be modified to suit your needs.

As a customer the benefits to you are

Easy to add new content through the WordPress content management system (CMS)
Used and supported by many fortune 500 companies
Hosting a WordPress site is not costly, most web hosting companies allow you to install WordPress with a single click.
Patches and security updates can be automatically applied.

If you wish to add new content you do not need to contact your website developer to add that content for you (therefore paying them again), you are able to do this via a simple and intuitive CMS (we will teach you how to use it)

If you wish to move your site from one hosting company to another you can do so by simply clicking an export button, or in many cases your new hosting company will do this for you automatically.

Ultimately there is still a high degree of skill and finesse required to create a great WordPress site, having a vision and an eye for detail is a must. Although WordPress is great it is not perfect, there are areas where HTML and CSS stylesheets may need to be altered and edited to make the site sit just right and images and content have to be sized and scaled to get it just right, but we do love a challenge.

Our aim is to deliver a great WordPress site to you and your business, a site that you can manage directly and not have to incur additional fees for future edits and updates, or if you do wish for DiD-Digital to manage and host your site we can do this also for a small monthly fee.
