Web Design Packages
When most people think of building a website, they often assume that web design and web development are the same thing.
Although these two terms are used interchangeably, they actually represent two different stages of creating a website.
Web design involves creating the layout and visual elements of your website - including the colour schemes, typography, images, and user interface that enable visitors to interact with your website.
"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like", as Steve Jobs once said, "design is how it works".
Web Design Benefits
Sets Expectations
When you agree to a web design, it lets us know what you want so that there's no surprises when the website's done.
Saves Time
Web design is like a roadmap for developers - they're lost without it. It's much quicker to build a website when you know what's expected.
Creates Consistency
Consistency is what turns your business into a brand. Consistency is what separates a DIY website from a professional one.
Web Design Process
Brainstorm
After you contact us, we'll set up a meeting to brainstorm some ideas for your new website. We'll discuss your goals, your brand and what users will do on your website.
Then we'll look at some examples of similar websites and find out what you like or dislike about them.
Design
The designer will take the information from the meeting to develop a first draft mockup of what your website would look like on desktop and mobile.
Revise
You will have two revision rounds to give feedback on any changes you want to the design. The designer will then implement your feedback into the following draft.
Web Design Features
Mobile Responsive
Our designs include desktop and mobile versions so you can see what both versions will look like. Your website will be responsive to all screen sizes, so tablets and larger phone screens will look slightly different.
Clear Navigation
This is key to keeping visitors engaged. Clear navigation helps users find the information they're looking for and leads to more conversions.
Visual Hierarchy
The way in which elements on your website are arranged helps to guide the user's experience. Visual hierarchy creates focal points of important information through the use of size, colour and animations.
Accessibility
Our websites are designed in a way that anyone can use them, regardless of any disabilities they may have. This is done through colour choice, alt text and responsive typography.

FAQs
There's no such thing as a silly question. Only frequently asked ones.
Can I have three revision rounds?
If your two revision rounds have lapsed and you want to request additional changes, you can pay for a third revision round as an optional extra. We advise giving thorough feedback from the first round to avoid needing a third round.
Why is web design important?
Your website is often the first point of contact between potential customers and your business. Your website's design leaves a first impression, good or bad, on how professional and credible your business is.
If your website is designed poorly, your potential customers won't be able to find the information they're looking for and will quickly move on to another website.
Optimising your website's design not only creates a better user experience, but it also increases your search engine optimisation. This happens when engaged users spend more time on your website, which signals to Google that your website is serving the purpose of the search query people searched for. Therefore, you will continue to rank well for those keywords.
What are web design packages?
Web design packages are a set of web design plans that you can choose from based on your specific needs and budget. Our web design packages only differ by the amount of pages you would like to see designed before you're happy to go ahead. The subsequent pages will all be designed based off of the design choices made in the web design package. You will have the option to revise the design before we proceed to the development rounds.
How long does it take to design a website?
The time it takes to design a website depends on a few factors: the web design package chosen, the complexity of the website and the number of revision rounds. We aim to complete the design phase after 2-4 weeks.
What are the four C’s of Web Design?
The 4 C's of web design are:
1. Content: The written and visual components of your website, including text, images, videos, and other multimedia content.
2. Clarity: The website's design should be clear and easy to navigate. Users should be able to find what they're looking for quickly and easily.
3. Consistency: All pages of the website should have a consistent design and layout, including fonts, colors, and imagery.
4. Conversion: The ultimate goal of a website is to convert visitors into customers or clients. The design should be optimized to encourage conversions and make it easy for users to take action.
What web design software do professionals use?
There are a lot of web design software available but two of the most common ones are Adobe Photoshop and Figma. These are industry-standard design tools and what we personally use them for all of our web design packages.
Is web design worth it?
That all depends on your goals and budget. For someone on a really tight budget, it would make more sense to buy a template and attempt to customise that. However, it will take time and effort to learn how to do that.
For businesses in a competitive industry, web design is necessary because all of your competitors are doing it. For example, you'll find that most dentists have professional looking websites. If they don't, they simply won't get as many appointments.
And even in industries where there is high demand and low supply for your services, having a professional web design can make a huge difference. For example, we've seen that here with painters here in Melbourne. It's the businesses with a strong online presence that get 80% of the clients.
