Website Design & Creation

In order to guarantee increased traffic and sales for our clients, our Web Design Agency always creates websites that are easy to optimise for high Google search results and are designed with conversion rate optimisation best practices in mind. Our sites lack the countless known flaws seen in generic templated websites created by ill-informed theme designers, which often contain conversion killing homepage slideshows or hidden SEO issues such as duplicate content and bad coding.

Because your business needs a website that works as a marketing tool to generate leads and sales, Albion offers websites designed by marketing experts, rather than graphic designers. Sure, we finish our sites off with beautiful graphics and lovely branding colours, but what’s underneath the hood is what really matters. Our sites are created in a way that allows them to rank highly in the search results and are designed to work as a lead or sales generating machine – not a static brochure.

The next most important thing your business needs from a site is for it to be easily updatable by your team. Many brands discover far too late that they have just paid for a site that can’t be updated unless they pay the designer or developer for each tiny change. Worse is the fact that some unscrupulous web design firms make life easy for themselves by creating your site using their own content management system, rather than a open source one such as WordPress, which means you have to pay them whenever you want to add functionality – something that can be done for free and in just a few clicks when using free plugins for WordPress, Magento or other popular platforms.

Because web designers (to be honest there are no web designers anymore – developers usually select and adapt existing themes and apply your logo and content) look at the aesthetics laid over the top of a site, many of the essential functions are often lacking when it comes to growing a business online. For that reason, we always offer the below with every website package, including:

Website Setup

  1. Open source content management system such as WordPress – so you can amend pages in-house
  2. Hosted on your own hosting package – so you have full 24/7 access to all your template files and media
  3. Email account creation – so you can receive messages from multiple @yourdomain.com email accounts
  4. Google Analytics setup – so you can see website traffic statistics to discover how people find your site

 

Search Optimised

  1. Search engine friendly urls – so robots have no problem crawling your pages and blog/news posts
  2. Html and Xml sitemaps – so humans and Google robots can easily access every page on your site
  3. SEO plugin enabled – so you can add meta data (the wording seen in search results) to each page
  4. Error-free configuration – so you can make new pages without creating duplicate content issues

 

Conversion Optimised

  1. Contact forms – that redirect to thank you pages which are tracked as a conversion whenever visited
  2. Lead generation forms – that sit at the top of your landing pages to ensure you get maximum leads
  3. Newsletter sign-up forms and buttons – that can integrate with your existing or new subscriber list
  4. Click to call phone numbers – so it is easy for mobile users to call your team in just one click

 

Website features

  1. Fully responsive – so content is visible on desktop computers and laptops, tablets and mobile devices
  2. Fully secure – so you can be sure your website is safe from hackers by clicking an update button
  3. Fully adaptable – so you can change colours, add products, pages or amend sidebar elements
  4. Fully customisable – so you can add free plugins that create animations, slideshows and the rest…

 

Standard website packages that enjoy the above features are created to best host your content and are designed around your business goals and branding. All the sites we build have header areas with your logo and navigation, sidebars, footer areas and blog or news sections as standard and can host up to 10 pages. They usually take up to 4 weeks to create and all that is required to get going is for you to provide the images and wording you want to see on each page.

Our standard 10-page website packages cost £3000, there is no VAT to pay and there are no hidden costs or extras. Larger sites with more functionality and more pages are available, including full eCommerce sites that include everything you need to sell products directly to your market from your site. Note that for either package, you would need to pay your yearly hosting and domain registration fees before we start creating your site.

For sites that require a range of extras such as truly bespoke landing pages, extra optimisation, extra graphics and advanced conversion optimisation features, all of this can be added to your new website package or indeed to your existing website as and when needed. All at our standard rates of £97 per hour, £333 per half day, or £3000 for intensive 4.5 day projects.
