Custom WordPress website design in Worcestershire

If you are looking for a local or international, effective and affordable website for your business, club or hobby , we can give you exactly what you want, quickly and easily from a single page at £150 up to a fully stocked e-commerce retail store.

How much is a website?

• The cost of your web design is determined by one thing only, and that is TIME.
• We don’t charge per page or offer restrictive “packages”, we don’t limit you in any way. You can have exactly what you want, and what you need.
• You are in control of costs at all times, there will be no hidden extras or sudden shocks!
• We will always give you a maximum ceiling price for the agreed work.
• All work is software timed to the second. If we complete ahead of schedule, your invoice will be lower.
• If it takes longer than estimated to complete your project, through no fault of yours, we swallow the loss and learn to estimate more accurately next time!

DON’T FORGET: Whoever you choose to create your website, there are third party and ongoing costs to take into account:

• Your domain name (around £13 per annum)
• Your website hosting (available from around £3 per month)
• SSL Certification

Here are just a few examples of the hundreds of WordPress websites we have built since 2001

Step 1 – Contact, the big picture chat

This is where we get to “meet” each other and where we can see how we may help you. You tell us about your business, club or hobby, your goals, and what you hope your website will do for you. We will ask questions, throw out ideas, and flag any obvious opportunities or challenges. 07788 931511 – paulshotan@hotmail.com

What we’re figuring out here:

• Why you want a new website (or redesign)
• Who it’s for
• What success looks like for you

No decisions yet – this is all about understanding.

Step 2 – Work out a plan of action

Next, we turn big ideas into something practical. Together, we decide what the website needs to do now, and what can wait for later.

This usually includes:

• What are the Key goals (e.g. get enquiries, sell products, explain a service)
• Pages needed (home, about, services, contact, etc.)
• Features (forms, booking systems, blog, shop, integrations)

This step keeps the project focused and avoids scope creep later on.

Step 3 – Budget, Timeline & Proposal

Once the website scope is clear, we put together a proposal. This outlines what’s included, how long it’ll take, and how much it’ll cost.

You will be clear about:

• Project stages
• Milestones and deadlines
• Payment structure

Once you’re happy and give the green light, we’re officially under way.

Step 4 – Content – What will the site say?

We need to know what content is going on the site. That means your text, images, videos, downloads – etc.

We will decide:

• Who’s writing the copy? This will always be lead by you, the expert but we are here to help you along the way.
• What images are needed. Your may not have images yet so we can use Stock photos temporarily
• Any existing content we can reuse or improve.

Good content makes design and development smoother and faster, so this step really matters.

Step 5 – Site structure

Now we plan how people will move through your site. This is about making things easy and intuitive; we’ve all seen websites that are confusing or plain annoying! It’s vital not to fall into that category!

This may include:

• A sitemap (this shows the list of pages and their structure)
• Mock-ups (your basic page layouts)
• Navigation planning – how will visitors find what they want on your site, quickly and easily?

Think of this as the blueprint before we decorate the house.

Step 6 – How will your site look?

This is where things get exciting. Together, we design how the site will look and feel, based on your brand and preferences.

You will review:

• Colours, fonts, and overall style. Find examples of website that you like, let us have the links to those sites and we can then get a clear idea of your taste.
• Key page design to set the overall site style and layout (usually starting with the homepage)

You give feedback, we refine, and once approved, we move on to building.

Step 7 – Building your site

With the design confirmed, we bring everything to life. This is the technical part, but you don’t need to worry about the details.

Behind the scenes, we will be:

• Building your pages using WordPress, the #1 website platform worldwide and the Avada Theme.
• Adding your content
• Setting up features and integrations
• Making sure it works on all devices and browsers (Responsive Design).

You’ll be able to see progress at any time online.

Step 8 – Testing and then – launch…

Before launch, we test everything. Links, forms, speed, mobile layouts – the lot.

This is when:

• Any bugs are fixed
• Small adjustments are made
• Final content is checked

You’ll have a chance to review and sign off before launch.
