Website Design in Blackburn

Website design is the process of creating a website for yourself or your business that is visually appealing, easy to use, and functionally effective. It involves the selection of appropriate colours, fonts, images, and layouts, as well as backend and frontend coding.

A well-designed website can help your business achieve your goals, such as increasing brand awareness, generating  more leads, and driving sales.

At StudioRav we will always do a thorough analysis of your business goals and also your budget and allotted timescales to ensure we create something which aligns with your requirements.

We can help build many different types of website depending on your needs. The most common ones include:

• Corporate websites: Websites designed for businesses to showcase their products or services, provide information about their company, and connect with customers.
• Ecommerce websites: These websites are designed to sell products or services online. They typically require more time and effort to build but they can help you make more money online.
• Blogs: Websites designed for people to share their thoughts and ideas on a particular topic, or about something in which they specialise. Blogs will typically have a backend area where you can write your blogs and post them, sometimes with SEO functionality built-in.
• Portfolio websites: These websites are designed to showcase an individual’s or company’s work. They usually include a gallery of previous work, case studies and links to examples.
• Educational or coaching websites: These websites are designed to provide information and allow a customer to sign up for online courses. They will typically include a backend area where you can add courses and other materials.
• Bespoke websites: We can build practically any kind of website you can think of including custom built websites, bespoke WordPress sites, Shopify stores and much, much more.

At StudioRav we believe the essential elements of website design include:

• Good UI/UX: The website should be easy to understand and navigate for your customers without appearing complicated or confusing.
• Consistency: The website should have a consistent look and feel throughout. This is primarily achieved through your branding and our graphics designers can help you with this.
• Visually appealing: Your website should be aesthetically appealing and entice the customer to want to look deeper into it.
• Functionality: The website should be functional and easy to use both for the visitor but also for you and your team.
• Accessibility: The website should be accessible to people with disabilities and those with other impairments. It should be accessible to all.

When you approach us to design your website we will look into the following:

• The target audience: The website should be designed for your target audience. The look and feel of it should align with what your target audience would expect.
• The goals of the website: The website should be designed to achieve the specific goals of your business whether that is to educate customers, generate more leads, or sell more products.
• The budget: The website should be designed within your budget. We are incredibly competitive with our pricing and offer multiple payment options to help our clients.
• The timeline: The website should be designed within a suitable timeline.
• The technology: The website should be designed using the right technology for your needs. This may be WordPress, Woocommerce, Shopify or some other platform.

The cost of designing a website varies greatly and  depends on the complexity of the website, the number of pages you need, and what features you require. In general, our prices begin from £499+VAT.

We believe our prices are fair and affordable for all, and although they may be higher than what you find on Fiverr or other freelancer platforms we offer a superior service based on longevity and building an ongoing partnership.

The time it takes to design a website varies a lot and mainly depends on the complexity of your website. A basic brochure style website usually requires 2-3 weeks to complete. However, a large ecommerce site with many products can take many months to work on.

The time it takes to design a website can be reduced by ensuring you have all of your company assets, product data and images ready for us. We will always look to help you and guide to ensure we can reduce the time spent on the website.
