Web Design

Many of our customers ask us to build them a website using WordPress. It’s not that surprising as it is the most popular CMS (content management system) platform with a chunky 62% of the market. It is popular because it allows you to manage your site without any coding experience and there are lots of premade themes and plugins that provide functionality and designs.

We design WordPress websites using tools that help us match best practice to your budget. We design layouts and elements that can be reused and evolve as your site grows within an easy-to-use page builder, giving you more control to update your site and maintain its design integrity.

A great web design balances freshness with familiarity making it easy to use at the same time as grabbing the attention of your audience. Our recipe for creating designs that work is tried and tested, incorporating timeless design principles combined with your brand identity and a little bit of creative magic. Check out our work and see for yourself!

We spend time getting to know all about your business, your audience, your competitors, your likes and dislikes and give you plenty of opportunity to feed back throughout the design process. This ensures we deliver intuitive layouts, captivating visuals and unique design elements that seamlessly support your site visitors through their journey.

You can trust us to create something new that you and your customers will love.

For some projects, we take a mobile first approach. This is likely to be where most interactions are made on a mobile device. If research and analytics tells us that people more often use a desktop to visit your site then this may be where we start. Whichever direction the data suggests it is a key part of our QA process to test our designs on different devices and browsers to ensure they work well across all.

Accessibility is at the core of our approach to web design ensuring that your website is inclusive and welcoming to users of all abilities. We believe that good web design is accessible web design.

Our designs follow accessibility guidelines ensuring that design features are clear, consistent and intuitive. This can include: using sufficient contrast between colours, avoiding overly small or inaccessible fonts, consistent behaviour of interactive elements and highlight colours for those navigating the site with a keyboard. At the beginning of a project we will check your brand guidelines meet the appropriate standards and where necessary can recommend additions that are accessible and consistent with your brand.

Some organisations are legally required to meet accessibility standards and we can run checks and make suggestions to fix your existing site design to ensure compliance. Where there is no legal obligation to meet specific accessibility standards, UK businesses are required to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to make sites accessible to people with disabilities. We consider this approach to be good practice and good business.

If you have lots of content or a complex system or process to deliver online, then working with a team that has experience balancing the priorities of the technical, the content and the design is key. With multiple stakeholders to satisfy both internally and externally, the project can suffer from design by committee.

Withdigital ensure that good design principles are not compromised just because the project is complex.

Finding the right imagery is an important and often overlooked part of the design process. Whether you need help sourcing the right stock photos, creating original icons, illustrations and design assets or even finding suitable images from your internal database we can bring our experience to make sure that all imagery supports and enhances your website design.

If you need location photography or videography for team profiles or interviews, product explainers, or drone footage of your premises we can provide a reliable contact from our extended team of experts.
