WordPress Developer in Cookstown

WordPress is a popular content management system (CMS) which is perfect for building websites and blogs. WordPress initially started life as a blogging platform. Over the years the software has improved so much that it can be used to create any type of website; from business websites and ecommerce stores to personal lifestyle blogs.

WordPress website design is the process of creating a website for yourself or your business using the WordPress platform 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 WordPress 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 WordPress websites depending on your needs. The most common ones include:

• Corporate WordPress websites: Created in order for businesses to showcase their products or services, provide information about their company, and connect with customers.
• Ecommerce WordPress 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: The WordPress platform works particularly well for blogging. Blogs allow 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 WordPress 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 WordPress 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 WordPress websites: We can build practically any kind of website you can think of including custom built WordPress websites. Contact us to find out how our team can help you with our bespoke WordPress web design service.

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.

Whereas a WordPress website designer would design and build a website, a developer goes under the hood and can work with actual code. You may have custom requirements or need help with technical issues such as plugins, themes and other conflicts. We can help build WordPress plugins, do API integrations, connect WordPress to other platforms and so much more.

It really depends on what you are developing. It may be a plugin or a Woocommerce update, or some custom feature. The cost typically revolves around time to code and how complex it is. Get in touch to learn more.

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 you to ensure we can reduce the time spent on the website.

There are a number of ways we can help you build a better quality website which you may otherwise struggle with. These include:

• Using the right platform and theme: This means helping you to decide whether using WordPress is right for you or maybe something else is more fitting. You can save a lot of time, money and headache in the long-term if you pick the right platform now.
• Building good quality pages: We can help with the layout, wording and images to ensure your pages look professional.
• Making your website fast: Our websites are all mobile-friendly, include speed optimisations and we can help you pick the fastest server according to your budget.
• SEO and ranking help: We can help build pages which will rank and also check Google Search Console for any indexing issues.
• Custom coding: If you need bespoke features or you are not sure which plugin or app to use we can guide you and help save you a lot of time and effort.

We offer a range of online marketing services to help your website take the next level up. These include:
