Why website design matters
returning visitors
One of the main reasons to have a high-quality, creative website design is to drive more traffic. A website that has a responsive and appealing design, and is created according to the best SEO practices, is going to have higher rankings and attract more visitors.
returning visitors
Digital marketing ensures you get new visitors, but it won’t change the mind of users if they don’t want to revisit your website. A unique responsive website design, with simple navigation that allows users to quickly and easily find what they are looking for, can motivate users to return to your website again and again.
Your website is the first source for people to find information about your brand and products. And if it doesn’t show enough, or has a poor design, you won’t be able to convert these visitors into future customers. A high-quality website can help you generate more leads and more conversions.
A website should show the essence of a brand, what it is about and how it is different from competitors. It needs to showcase all the important details about your brand, correspond to the branding guidelines and have an interactive design to encourage visitors to read more of your content and learn more about you.
Every customer goes through the stages of the customer journey to make a purchase. And your job is to make this journey as pleasant and smooth as possible. Your website can help a lot, by being the main source to find information about your brand and by providing great content. A professionally designed website with easy and dynamic navigation will make the customer journey an unforgettable experience for your users.
In the 21st century, a business that doesn’t have a website may make customers doubt their credibility. Moreover, an appealing, creative website design can help businesses to stand out from competitors and create an impression of a credible and trustworthy business.

What our clients say about us
What our process looks like
Initial consultation, scoping and proposal
We typically start with an initial consultation to discuss every detail of your project, the timeframe and the budget you have allocated for the features and objectives you want to achieve. We generally need to discuss what your company does, your industry and target audience, what CMS is best suited to your business, what features you need, and what your design preferences are like. Based on this, we will then advise on the best options available and provide a proposal outlining the services to be provided to allow you to achieve your goals within the timeframe and budget you have allocated for the project!
Moodboards and wireframes
Based on the information provided and our research during the discovery stage, once you are happy to move forward, we will typically begin working on moodboards to propose creative directions that would work for your project specification. These moodboards typically include suggestions on fonts, colours, styling and some examples of the proposed styles being used (for example a few sections of your website designed following that style). Once the creative direction is agreed on, we then begin working on grayscale wireframes to derive the overall navigation and the structure of pages based on the contents and sitemap. If available, we also request access to analytics information and incorporate the findings based on the analysis into the wireframes to optimise the user journey in line with the data.
Design concepts and revisions
Once we implement the feedback received for the wireframes and finalise the grayscale design prototype we will then move to create a draft design concept for one of the pages (typically the home page) in line with the approved wireframe for the page and the creative direction chosen based on the moodboards. At each stage of the design process, we typically include two rounds of revisions, and once the first page’s design is finalised we then proceed to create the designs for all of the remaining pages within the scope in line with the approved design.
Website building and publishing
The approved interface designs are then built pixel-perfect with the CMS platform of your choice, with a further two rounds of edits during the build. All of the pages and templates are optimised for mobile and tablet as standard. The website is typically built on a staging environment and published live after final testing and approval from you. Once live, we are typically on standby for the next few days, ensuring that you have all of the access and instructions necessary to take over the management of the site and address any last-minute issues that may arise. We will also provide screen recordings and instructions on making edits and other aspects of managing the site. Depending on the project requirements, we can also assist with setting up the hosting, speed optimisation and ongoing maintenance of the site going forward.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a web design agency?
The cost depends on many factors such as the complexity of the design and the number of pages. It also depends a lot on the web design agency and its team, and how much experience they have. In general, it can cost from $3,000 to $35,000 and it’s quite a large range, so you need to discuss it with the web design agency you choose.
What is it better to choose: a freelancer or a web design agency?
It all depends on your needs, resources and budget. If you’re looking for a one-time small project, then a freelancer can be a better option. But if you’re looking for long-term complex projects, that one freelancer won’t be able to do, it’s better to choose a web design agency. Besides, many web design agencies offer development services along with web design services.

What project management tools do you use?
We use ClickUp for our internal processes and for time tracking, so we can invite multiple members of your team to the ClickUp board and manage everything there. We can also join other project management tools that you are already using if you prefer.
Will the designs you provide be unique?
Absolutely! You can reverse image search any concept or variation we provide, and even individual components of the design, everything we design is made from scratch fully tailored to your brand!
Do I get ownership rights?
Certainly! From the moment you make the payment all rights to all concepts and variations developed during your project, including the final designs pass to you. We do however reserve the right (unless discussed otherwise in advance) to present the work done for you as part of our portfolio. Finally, upon completion you are also provided with the source file for the design, which can then be passed on to other designers or companies (such as a printing company) for their use.

What is Web Design and What Does a Web Design Agency Do?
One of the questions that keep coming up in the world of entrepreneurs is whether investing in web design is worthwhile. And whether it’s worth hiring an expensive web design agency or a freelancer.
When you already have strong marketing, sales, and branding team, you start doubting whether spending money and effort on web design will change anything. After all, web design agencies can cost a fortune.
But trust us. Although it might not look as significant as other aspects of your business, a quality web design is not only advisable but pretty much mandatory.
Wondering why? Well, the answer is simple. A good web design increases your customer trust and helps you build a better connection. And once that is done, you can expect more purchase rates, stronger customer loyalty, and overall improvement of your brand identity.
Web Design Agency
The first digital natives are already reaching their 40s, showing how long we have lived, inseparable from technology and the internet.
And in this hyper-digitized world, building an online presence is essential, especially for businesses that want to grow brand awareness and promote their services. But how exactly do you create a website design that conveys the ideology of your brand correctly?
Unless web design is your work or passion, it’s best to leave such an important task to the best web designers. The safest approach would be to work with a web design agency that knows all the ins and outs of visual aestheticism, colour schemes, layouts, and intuitive UI/UX. But don’t confuse web design with web development.
Web design entails the creation of the user experience plan and all design assets that comprise the website: it is essentially a web design service.
But as web design and development are interrelated, it is generally best that the same team does both to avoid design misunderstandings. As a result, most web design agencies also provide front-end web development services.
Don’t worry though if you’re unfamiliar with the terms, we’ll explain everything one at a time:
What is User Experience?
User Experience or UX refers to describing the user’s overall experience of the website or application. A good UX is when the web page is pleasant, easy to use, and serves the website’s end goal.
For instance, if it’s eCommerce, the visitor’s end goal is to buy a product. However, if the UX is poor, the visitor might have trouble figuring out how to add the product to the cart or purchase it, eventually harming the business.
So the responsive website design company should make sure that your visitors can easily navigate your website without encountering any problems.
What is User Interface Design?
Along with the UX also comes the UI, which stands for User Interface. The UI is the graphical layout of the website or application, consisting of many different elements like text, images, entry fields, buttons, sliders, etc. In other words, everything that you see on the page, every micro-interaction you engage with, should be designed, and the UI developers are the ones doing it.
UI/UX is an essential part of web design, and a good web design agency should be able to craft a website with a clean interface, a responsive web design, a pleasant experience and one that achieves the main objectives.
What are Grayscale Wireframes?
If you start working with a web design agency, you might come across the term “grayscale wireframe”. What exactly is it, and why do you need it during the design process?
To understand what grayscale wireframes are, let’s understand what wireframes are in general. Wireframes allow visualising the skeleton of your website or digital application before you start to design or develop it. It is like a draft version of your design. It demonstrates what elements will exist on your webpage and what layout it will have.
Grayscale wireframes or greyscale mockups are black, white, and grey renderings of the product. They are the logical evolution of the UX Wireframes. With grayscale wireframes, you can focus on the individual elements of your future web design and see what will work and what will not.
Web design agencies will provide the grayscale wireframes during the first stages of the design so that you can give feedback on the draft and suggest improvements or changes.
What is Responsive Web Design?
The term responsive web design refers to the approach of web design where the website adapts to different window sizes and screens. In the age where mobile traffic is growing day by day, this is a pretty important aspect. You don’t want your entire website to collapse into awkwardly large pieces when someone accesses it from their smartphone or iPad.
Your website will automatically match your visitor’s screen sizes with responsive web design and stay intuitive whether your user is accessing from a mobile device or desktop.
A modern web design agency will offer responsive web design services to their clients. Google will penalise non-responsive websites, and it has many advantages over the other models.
Bringing Creative Website Designs to Life
There are several options for how a web design company can bring the design to life. Here are the most popular ones.
WordPress
The easiest way to start a website? WordPress. And there’s no doubt about it.
Let’s take a look at the statistics. According to the W3Tech statistics, 65.1% of websites with a recognisable CMS (content management system) are powered by WordPress. In other words, 42.8% of all websites on the internet use WordPress.
But why do so many bloggers and website owners trust WordPress and choose it as their go-to? There should be a good reason for WordPress’ popularity.
And the truth is that WordPress deserved its status as the best CMS for a couple of reasons. WordPress is:
- Easy and fast for development
- Affordable for development
- Effortlessly maintained
- Easily expanded with new features
- Easily marketed and promoted
It is all that a business can need. Let’s take a look at all of the features separately:
1. Easy and Fast to Develop
Think of a Content management system (CMS) as a bunch of premade code that gives the website structure. Also, it organises its files quicker.
Any website or app is just a bunch of code files stored on a server, and a CMS makes it quicker to create those code files and define their interdependencies!
Having started as simple blogging software, allowing to build pages and create blog posts quickly, WordPress has expanded rapidly since. Now, WordPress includes user account functionalities, a user-friendly admin panel, and access to thousands of plugins and themes!
And when development is made so straightforward, it also becomes pretty fast, allowing WordPress programmers to build a website from scratch in a very short period of time.
2. Affordable for development
Another reason why WordPress is such a popular choice is its price. Or essentially the absence of price: WordPress is open-source and free to use.
This means anyone can start working with WordPress without spending a penny.
Of course, there are certain things you should pay for if you eventually want your website to go live. At least you’ll need to secure your website’s hosting and domain name, which will cost you some money, as WordPress does not offer it by default.
Plus, the best WordPress themes and plugins are usually the paid ones, meaning that if you want to take your website to the next level, you’ll probably have to pay for it. However, even with these extra costs and add-ons, WordPress stays as one of the most affordable solutions available online.
It will save you or your initial business investments for the development process, and you’ll still have a professional website that meets all the requirements of the modern digital world.
3. Easy to Maintain
Now not only is a WordPress website pretty cheap for development, but it also does not cost much to maintain one.
As we’ve mentioned, WordPress itself is free of charge. However, the additional aspects, such as hosting or domain name, without which you can’t run your website, have their costs. It’s up to you whether you decide to go with a dedicated server hosting that costs hundreds of dollars or a shared one. And it’s also up to you to choose which themes and plugins you will use to ensure your website’s security, SEO optimisation, and overall state.
But let’s assume you do pay for the plugins, hosting, and everything else. Still, according to our estimates, you can easily maintain an average-sized website for $450 per year.
4. Easily expanded with new features
With WordPress, it’s also pretty easy to scale up your website. All you need to do is look for the plugins and the themes. And the good news is that WordPress is full of them.
You can find anything you need in the WordPress Plugin Directory. For instance, maybe after some time, you realise that your website traffic is growing, and you suddenly have hundreds of customers interested in a membership for your service.
What do you do? You go to the Plugin Directory and find a membership plugin to convert some part of your website into a community. And that’s only one of the million examples you can scale your website using WordPress plugins and themes.
5. Easily marketed and promoted
Finally, WordPress websites are easy to market and promote. And that’s what makes them such a popular choice among business owners. One thing is for sure, WordPress is excellent for SEO, and it has been proven time and time again. This means your websites have a high chance of ranking on the top of the SERPs if you do your job well.
This said, of course, WordPress is not the only option. If you find out that WordPress does not work well for your business, you can try a bunch of alternatives. We have picked the two of the most popular ones here.
Webflow
Another popular CMS that web designers love is Webflow. Using cloud technology, Webflow, just like WordPress, allows building websites without writing lines of code.
The reason why some prefer Webflow over WordPress is that it offers website design services providers slightly more advanced options. Page builder plugins like Elementor offer almost the same design flexibility, whereas, in Webflow, more advanced animation effects are possible. Additionally, in Webflow, the web design is clean-coded in HTML, CSS and JS.
So if you change your mind about the CMS later, you can export the code and use it elsewhere. Platforms like Webflow and Shopify are also zero maintenance – they take care of updates themselves. In WordPress, you are responsible for keeping your website’s themes and plugins up to date.
Here are some of the pros and cons of the platform you should consider before choosing it.
Webflow Pros
- Easy drag-and-drop page builder
- A very intuitive editor
- Good for eCommerce sites
- Reusable CSS classes
- Ability to publish directly to the web
- Zapier integration
- Ability to create scroll-based animations
- Easier workflow with Flexbox
- Unlimited customisation options
Webflow Cons
Not that easy to learn: Webflow is not really for absolute beginners. If you have never engaged in website design or web development before, it might be hard for you to figure out how to use the platform. However, it’s not impossible. If you put your mind to it, you can learn how to use Webflow with the help of their video tutorials and how-to articles.
Price: Webflow is not open-source like WordPress or Woocommerce, so if you’re tight on budget, it might be a little too expensive for you.
Now, let’s move on to the next option, which is:
Shopify
For those who want to create an online store, Shopify is one of the most convenient solutions. It’s an ecommerce platform that allows you to create a professional online shop quickly and easily. Just like bloggers opt for WordPress, the online store creators go for Shopify. It is both a good choice for beginners and ecommerce experts.
So if you want to take your business to the next level by opening a digital store, Shopify has a lot to offer. But of course, like any other platform, it has its advantages and drawbacks. Let’s skim through the main ones:
Shopify Pros
- Elegant themes: Shopify offers many professionally designed themes to help you create the exact website appearance you wish. These responsive website design themes are available in the Theme Store and will be a good match for any industry, be that clothing, sportswear, jewellery, art, etc.
- Flexibility: Once you build your store, you can redesign it or arrange it according to your needs. When your shop starts to grow, the variety of Shopify’s tools will come in handy for offering better customer service, shipping, reporting, or improving your own experience by getting a higher social media presence, better marketing, and so on. Eventually, Shopify allows you to automate your entire ecommerce business.
- High speed and security: Security and speed are the most critical aspects of any online store. You don’t want to lose conversions because your page took too long to load. You also don’t want to endanger your customers’ security by making it easy for hackers to access their credit card credentials. The best part with Shopify is that it ensures that none of these happens with its high level of speed and security.
- 24/7 Support: Finally, if any questions arise regarding the platform, Shopify’s customer care team is always there to help you out. You can also browse their extensive database of FAQs that help a lot during the troubleshooting.
Shopify Cons
- The AMP feature and most of the extended SEO features are available only with the paid additional plugins.
- It’s not easy to export your blog posts.
- Shopify does not allow your customers to use more than one discount.
- The pricing structure is not the best one. Apart from the monthly charges, it also requires a transaction fee.
- In case you want to customize your website, Shopify will demand knowledge of code, which might be a little too complicated for beginners.
Summing up
As you see, website design and development is not as simple as it may seem. That’s why it’s important to choose the right web designers and the best web design company in London or anywhere in the world.
Whether you need web design services for small business or large business, you can easily find your best fit through many sources. Once you find the right web design agency, your website design is definitely going to be successful.
