Frequently Asked Questions
About Website Design
Do I have to hire a professional web designer for my site or can I do it myself?
Creating a website on your own can be tempting, but it’s best to hire a professional web designer if you want your site to look polished and professional.
Designing a website is so much more than putting up pretty pictures and a few pages about your business.
Things you must take into account include user experience, relevant content, credibility, technical and security elements, visuals including graphics, slideshows, animations and videos, page load speed and mobile responsiveness.
Remember your website might be the first thing people see and they will judge your business on your web design skills.
Experienced website developers will ensure your site is beautiful and set up so everything works correctly – from properly integrating features like payment processors, online shops to making sure the design is optimized for mobile devices.
If you want to create your own website, we do offer web design coaching, where we take you through the whole set up process, from selecting and registering a domain name, setting up webhosting to helping you create a Wordpress website and guide you in online marketing.

What pages should I include on my website?
When it comes to what pages you should include on your website, it depends on the purpose of your site and the content you want to share with visitors. Generally, there are a few key pages that every website should include – these are often referred to as “core pages”.
The first page you’ll want to make sure is included on your site is a homepage. This page will serve as an entry point for visitors and will usually include information about your company or organization, details about products or services, an opt-in form for capturing leads (if applicable) and links to other important pages on your site.
Additionally, you’ll want to add a contact page so users can easily find out how they can reach you with any inquiries they may have.
An “about” page should also be included in order to provide further insights into who you are and what sets you apart from the competition. It’s also beneficial to create portfolio pages where potential customers can see examples of work that you have completed in the past.
To ensure that people can find out all the necessary information regarding your products or services, a product/service page detailing pricing plans, features and more should be included too.
Finally, for those who want more detailed information about what you offer, adding a FAQs page could be useful.
How long will it take to create my website?
The time frame for creating a website depends on several factors, such as the complexity of the design and layout, the number of pages, the availability of content and how quickly you come back to us with feedback.
For example, if you already have all of your necessary content prepared, then it will take us 7-10 days to set up your website. However, if we need to create custom elements like logos or add more complex functions such as a shopping cart or member portal, it could take 3-4 weeks to complete.
Overall, it’s best to plan ahead and be as specific as possible when deciding what features you want included on your website. That way we can make it as part of the design process and we can let you know ahead of time how long it will take.
Having an estimated completion date in mind will also help streamline the process and ensure that the project is completed on schedule.
How much does it cost to set up a website?
Setting up a website can be an overwhelming and intimidating task, but it doesn’t have to be expensive. The cost depends on the complexity of the design, number of pages, and available content; however, we have put together website design packages that make it easy – and affordable – to get your site up and running quickly.
These are some of the element that go into creating a website:

How can I make sure my website design is unique and effective?
To ensure that your website design is both unique and effective, you’ll want to focus on making it user friendly and visually appealing. Make sure to include elements that are tailored to the needs and interests of your target audience, as well as powerful visuals like high-definition images and videos. Additionally, your site should have easy-to-navigate pages with clearly defined paths for visitors to follow so they can find exactly what they’re looking for quickly.
When designing or revamping a website, it’s important to brainstorm creative solutions to common problems in order to stand out from the competition. Utilize colours and typography that reflect your brand message, create an intuitive navigation structure, keep page load times reasonable and make sure content loads quickly on all devices.
Finally, optimize your site for mobile devices by using responsive web design principles. Responsive design is the practice of adapting a website’s layout and UI elements for different device sizes so users can enjoy a seamless browsing experience regardless of which device they’re using. By making sure your website design is both unique and effective, you’ll be able to provide an enjoyable experience for customers every time they visit your site.
How often should I update the website design?
When it comes to how often you should update your website design, the answer depends on several factors. If you want to keep up with changing trends in web design, it’s a good idea to do a full design overhaul every 3-4 years and make minor updates as needed in between. However, if your website is functioning properly and is still performing well, then there is no need to make drastic changes in the short term.
It’s also important to consider how frequently your target audience visits your site; if they are visiting often and expecting new content, then it could be beneficial to make more frequent updates to keep them engaged.
When updating your website design, take into account user experience (UX) best practices like ensuring that text and visuals are optimized for various device sizes, improving page speed and optimizing navigation structure for intuitive UX.
Additionally, look into adding extra features or interactive elements that can help improve the overall user experience of your website.
What are the key elements of a successful website design?
A successful website design should reflect your brand’s message, as well as tailored to the needs and interests of your target audience. Design elements like colours, typography (fonts), images and videos should draw visitors in and provide a positive user experience.
Additionally, the navigation structure should be clearly defined so visitors can find what they’re looking for quickly and easily.
Responsive web design is another key element; this practice ensures that a website’s layout adjusts to different device sizes and keeps page load times reasonable so users have a seamless browsing experience regardless of which device they’re using.
And finally, features such as interactive elements or AI chatbots can help enhance customer engagement.
