You’ve decided your business needs a website. Great! But where to start?
The thought of organising a website can be daunting for many businesses. Often, the first question is: how much will it cost?
The answer depends on how big and complicated the website will be. If you want a simple one-page website with information about your business and products/services, plus a contact form, it will start from £399.
However, for a detailed quote, it’s best to talk through what you’re looking for and I will provide a clear breakdown of the costs. Compared to other web design agencies, my prices are considerably cheaper because my overheads are significantly less: no office rental costs, plus I’m a sole trader.
If you are interested, I can design logos and/or bespoke graphics and business cards to ensure your business looks the business. I can also setup business email accounts, yourname@yourbusiness.whatever
The process starts with an initial consultation (via Google Meet or Zoom) to discover your goals, target audience, and specific needs. The aim is to understand what you want the website to do for your business, and how you want it to look and function.
Following the initial consultation, I will draft a proposal outlining the project scope, timeline and cost. This includes the design and build process, plus any additional services like SEO, content creation, and ongoing maintenance. Once both parties agree, I get to work.
After we have reached an agreement, I research your industry and competitors. This helps me to plan the website’s structure, features, and user experience. I may also develop wireframes and site maps during this phase.
The design phase creates a visual representations of the website. I create mock-ups to show how the website will look. This phase often includes several rounds of feedback and revisions to ensure the design aligns with your ideas.
While the design is being finalised, the client needs to organise the content (or work with me to create it), which includes: text, images, videos, and any other media that will be featured on the site. High-quality content is crucial for engaging visitors and improving SEO.
Once the design is approved and content is ready, the development phase begins. I build the website using Elementor, the leading WordPress website builder. I will integrate necessary functionalities like e-commerce, contact forms, and a blog section that the client can update once the site is completed.
Before launching, the website undergoes thorough testing to ensure it works correctly across different browsers and devices. This phase includes checking for bugs, broken links, and ensuring the site is responsive across devices and performs well in terms of speed and usability. jigsaw kloud designs aim to deliver a stylish UI (User Interface – how the site looks), and a simple UX (User eXperience – how intuitive the site is to use). After successful testing, the website is launched.
Once your website goes live, jigsaw kloud provides hosting (that guarantees 99.9% uptime) and maintenance services. These include regular updates, backups, performance monitoring, and addressing any issues that arise. If required, I can provide training to update your new website.
