Web design

Why Design offers a complete web design service covering consultation, design, development and programming. Whether you need a micro site, small business site or full e-commerce site, we can meet your requirements.

Web design is more than
just aesthetics

A well designed site not only looks good but is also intuitive meaning the site's information can be accessed quickly and easily. We achieve this by carefully planning a site map, structuring your content correctly, designing a navigation system that is user-friendly and developing a layout that aids usability.

Building your website to web standards ensures your site ‘just works’

Why Design uses the latest technologies, developing pages based on W3C web standards to ensure browser compatibility. This is a very important part of web development as it is essential in ensuring that your site works and looks its best on the most popular platforms (Windows XP, Mac OS etc.) and browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox etc.)..

Save additional development costs by updating the website yourself

Any website can be designed to utilise a content management system (CMS). This allows you to add and remove pages, update content, edit your gallery... in fact, you can edit just about anything! That's because we use our own bespoke CMS. This eliminates the restrictions of 'off-the-shelf' systems, allowing the client to edit any part of their website in an easy to use environment without compromising the design or functionality.

Let's not forget Google and
search engine optimisation

We believe that the majority of search engine optimisation (SEO) can be completed as part of building the website. With careful planning and experience we have a few tricks up our sleeve that can help your website rank highly without any extra cost.

In short, Why Design makes every effort to ensure that you not only have a fantastic looking website, but also a site which functions correctly on as many computers (worldwide) as possible.

If you're put off by large print runs,
try a digital template

Asking Why Design to design you a digital template can prove a cost effective alternative to large print runs. For example, rather than pay again and again for your letterheads to be printed why not pay a one-off fee for a Microsoft Word template? Designed to stay consistent with your branding it can be printed in-house.

Alternatively, you may like to have a professional newsletter but don't want to pay monthly design agency fees to type set it. Again, Why Design can design and provide a template in Microsoft Word allowing you to update your content every month and print in-house. We will also be more than happy to provide a style guide, to ensure that each layout stays as professional and consistent as the original design.
