WordPress website design standard package cost £850

INITIAL CONSULTATION

During the consultation, we will work with you to establish your requirement in-depth. This includes giving you access to our design layouts to show you all the design options available within the package. We will discuss the pages you need and what you’d like to communicate via your website. This can be done remotely via your preferred method of communication. The initial consultation element is free and you are not committed to employing our service at this phase. We will establish whether everything you need is covered within the standard package. If you require any specialist elements that need additional development or a bespoke design, we can quote these as additional item/s. Our standard package covers a wide range of functional elements and everything you would expect on a standard business or personal website. We’ll show you layout options that include different menu structures and content layouts for a fully responsive website. These are designed for desktop, tablet and mobile site versions. Once we’ve agreed on a clear brief (and if you’ve decided to go ahead), we will require a 50% payment upfront as per our standard T& Cs for new customers.

SITE LAYOUT & DESIGN

 We can create flat visuals for your web page designs via Figma software. We’ll either use this software or go direct to a test site online depending on the complexity of the job. Figma is an online collaborative tool that allows us to share the design with you to walk you through concepts over the internet. During the design process, we will add the key elements of what is captured at the consultation stage into your design. We will build in the appropriate colour palettes and fonts to ensure your website is on brand. We will keep you in the loop at all key design stages to allow you to feedback and make revisions. We will produce each unique templated page and populate this with your own content, or holding content depending on what you have available. As an example, the templates might include things like a home page, about us, services page, news and contact us page. Each of these templated pages can have a unique layout from the options available via our site builder tool. You are not limited to this number of pages and can copy any of the available templates to create addtional new pages. You will have the ability to clone the pages and overwrite the content which makes adding pages straightforward. This means your website can expand without the need for additional costs. We will provide training to show you how to use the content management system allowing you to take charge of your site. And, of course, we are more than happy to take on new work if you need to develop new functionality or create new design templates. The beauty of a WordPress site is that it is easy to expand and a site can be adapted to new requirements rather than being rebuilt from scratch.

WEBSITE BUILD & LAUNCH

Once our designs are signed off we will fully test the site on all major browsers and platforms to ensure it is functioning as required. We then start the handover process to allow you to take control of your site. We provide you with a user guide (pdf) and walkthrough videos so you can easily familiarise yourself with WordPress and our page builder structure. We will be on hand to help you though and answer any queries you might have. You can make changes to the content and add in any additional pages. If you have a standard site e.g a 5 page website you may not need to change pages or add new ones. Our aim is to keep things flexible to give you options. Some clients choose to launch and build in additional content as they go. When you are ready to launch we can switch the site from test mode to public view. If we are replacing an existing site we may need you to switch over some settings to point your domain name to the new site. See our FAQ’s for further information.

HOSTING

We can host your site on our own servers or transfer it to your own hosting provider as required. Our hosting runs from January to January and costs £10 per month to renew. We won’t charge you for hosting until January if you wish to use our service. This means if your site is built after January you have those remaining months free until the following January when we will ask you if you wish to renew. A website hosting payment is then required in advance of the year at £120 year.
