What’s Included in Our Custom Website Design Services

Every business has different goals, challenges, and audiences. We don’t just design pages—we build strategic tools for communication, conversion, and growth. From discovery to development, each component plays a specific role in shaping the user experience and driving results.

Discovery & Strategy

Discovery & Strategy

We begin by understanding your business, your users, and what success looks like. We conduct research to identify your audience, define the user journey, and align every design choice with your business goals. This foundational phase ensures your website serves a clear purpose and delivers measurable outcomes.

  • Discovery sessions uncover audience needs and business pain points.
  • Strategic planning guides layout, content, and functional priorities.
  • User journey mapping shapes navigation flow and conversion paths.

UX & UI Design

UX & UI Design

We create intuitive user experiences and cohesive visual interfaces. UX design focuses on how users interact with your site, while UI design brings your brand to life through layout, colour, and typography. Both work together to ensure your site is not only usable but also on-brand and engaging.

  • UX wireframes define structure, hierarchy, and interaction flow.
  • UI mockups translate your brand into visual elements.
  • Design systems maintain consistency across the entire website.

Responsive Website Development

Responsive Website Development

We build your website to perform seamlessly across all devices. Every line of code is written to ensure fast load times, functional responsiveness, and compatibility with modern browsers. Your users enjoy a smooth experience, no matter what device they use.

  • The codebase supports mobile, tablet, and desktop displays.
  • Responsive frameworks enable flexible layouts that scale naturally.
  • Mobile-friendly development improves both user experience and search rankings.

CMS Integration

CMS Integration

We give you full control over your website content. Our development team integrates a content management system that suits your business and workflow. You can manage pages, blogs, and imagery without needing technical skills.

  • CMS platforms include WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, and custom builds.
  • CMS dashboards provide simple access to manage your content.
  • Admin-level permissions empower your team to make updates anytime.

SEO & Technical Foundations

SEO & Technical Foundations

We structure your website to perform well in search engines. From heading structure to schema markup, we implement SEO best practices from day one. Your site is built for visibility, speed, and search engine indexing.

  • The site architecture includes semantic HTML, metadata, and schema.
  • Image compression and caching improve loading speed and user retention.
  • Clean code and site structure support better crawlability and rankings.

Accessibility Compliance

Accessibility Compliance

We build websites that are usable by everyone. Accessibility is part of our design process—not an afterthought. This ensures all users, including those with disabilities, can interact with your content effectively.

  • Accessibility features meet WCAG 2.1 standards.
  • Every website includes alt text, keyboard navigation, and ARIA labels.
  • Inclusive design extends your audience and enhances user experience.

Conversion-Focused CTA Placement

Conversion-Focused CTA Placement

We design for action. Calls-to-action are placed with intention and supported by clear messaging and layout cues. Our goal is to make the next step obvious and easy for your users.

  • CTAs are positioned in locations with high user attention.
  • Language is written to match the user’s needs and intent.
  • Button style, size, and placement improve click-through rates.
