What is a website?
A website is a collection of connected pages available at a web address. It can explain your business, display products, answer questions and give visitors a way to contact you or buy.

Understand website design and development.
Design and development: what is the difference?
Design covers how a website looks and how people move through it. Development turns that design into working pages, navigation, forms and other features.
What can a website project include?
A project can include page planning, mobile layouts, written content, development, testing and launch support. Booking tools, shops and customer accounts need their own agreed scope.
What makes a website useful?
Visitors should quickly understand who you help, what you offer and what to do next. Clear content, readable layouts, accessible controls and reliable performance support that journey.

Your questions, answered.
Do I need a website if I already use social media?
A website gives you a destination you control for detailed information and enquiries. Social profiles can help people discover you; the website can explain your offer in greater depth.
What are a domain and hosting?
A domain is your website’s address. Hosting provides the infrastructure that makes the site available online. They are separate from the design and may have recurring charges.
Will it work on mobile phones?
The layout should adapt to different screen sizes. Mobile checking includes menus, text, images and forms, not just shrinking the desktop design.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes, if an editing system is included. We agree which text, images, pages and other elements you need to manage before choosing the setup.
How much does a website cost?
Cost depends on the number of pages, content, custom features and integrations. A simple information site and a shop with customer accounts need different scopes. Request a quote based on your requirements.
How long does a website take to build?
Timing depends on scope and how quickly content and feedback are available. A project should have clear review stages and an agreed launch plan.
Does building a website include SEO?
Basic structure and search-friendly page setup can be part of the build. Ongoing search research, content and optimisation should be agreed separately.
What should I prepare before we start?
Bring your logo, business information, service list, existing website access if relevant, examples you like and the main action you want visitors to take.
