Web Design

All things websites - design and development, hosting and maintenance - so you can make the most of your global shop window.

I can help you design and develop a website that not only looks great but is built to work well.

Designed to look great.

Built to work well.

A website that looks professional and functions well is crucial if you’re seeking to inform, sell, educate and/or engage with your audience.

Various studies have shown that people make judgements about a companies credibility based on the look of their website. In the case of websites, according to Google, that judgement happens in less than a second!

Barry transformed the look of my website, turning it from a blog to a true online presence. I would recommend Snap Designs to anyone.

WordPress

Every website I develop is built on WordPress – a platform that powers over 35% of websites on the world wide web. WordPress is a content management system that allows you to add, edit and delete content.

Of course, if you do not feel comfortable doing this yourself I am happy to set up an arrangement to do this for you.

4 steps to a new website

  1. Get the ball rollingUse the website enquiry form to start the process. Once completed we can talk further – in person or online. Following this I’ll come back to you with a proposal and we can flesh out a design brief that will form the basis of the design.
  2. Getting creativeThis is where we start to nail down the content and the look and feel of the site. Based on the content you provide I’ll produce some interactive designs for you to approve.
  3. Building itOnce the concept designs are approved I begin the process of transforming them into a fully-functioning website, integrating all the required functionality.
  4. All systems goThe developed site is put on a test server so you can review and test it. Once you’re happy we can push the button so the site goes live for all the world to see. If you haven’t got hosting sorted already we can discuss this along the way.

Training and support

After initial training on how to use your website, if required, I am available to contact by email or phone to answer any queries or provide guidance. I don’t offer 24/7 support but am happy to help during normal working hours Monday to Friday. In extreme cases, I can be contacted out of these hours.

Hosting and maintenance

I can arrange to host your website for a competitive price on a secure server, meaning you don’t get a ‘Not secure’ notice in Chrome or a broken padlock in Firefox. It’s not a requirement that you host your website with me but the option is there if you don’t already have an account with another company.

I also offer a Website Care Package that covers amongst other things security, back-ups, and monitoring.

Is your website working hard for you?

If not, you’re in the right place
