Building a custom WordPress website can take 4 to 6 weeks. But this all depends on how complex the website is, and how long it takes you to provide everything we need to build it.

• To start off with we have a chat to understand your website goals, your business, your customers and your competitors. 
• We then agree on the scope for your website, deliverables, timeline and budget. We also conduct our own research and analysis. 
• After that we provide a design brief and methodology and present that back to you. 
• We then move into the website development stage (after taking into account your feedback). 
• Following the site build we make any final changes and launch the live website. 
• From that point we continue with the nurture & growth phases via ongoing maintenance and SEO strategies.

• You can definitely have access to update and manage your own website (after all it is yours)! It probably goes without saying… if you make a mess or break something, we’ll need to charge you for fixing it again. 
• Or even better – our expert team will manage the changes for you. 
• We encourage our customers to trust us as the experts to grow your online presence and look after your site with our ongoing SEO and maintenance services.

• Responsive web design is an approach to web design that ensures a website’s pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes. The goal of responsive design is to provide a seamless and optimal user experience, regardless of whether the user is accessing the website on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
• Responsive web design aims to maintain a consistent and user-friendly experience across devices. Users should be able to navigate and interact with the website seamlessly, regardless of the device they are using.

• Website speed is crucial for providing a positive user experience, optimizing search engine rankings, increasing conversions, and staying competitive in the online marketplace. Regular performance optimization is essential to meet the expectations of modern internet users.
• User Experience (UX):
  • First Impressions: Visitors form an immediate impression of your website based on its loading speed. A slow website can create frustration and a negative perception, leading users to leave before exploring the content.
  • User Engagement: Faster websites lead to better user engagement. Users are more likely to stay longer, view more pages, and interact with your site if they have a smooth and quick browsing experience.
• Search Engine Rankings (SEO):
  • Search Engine Algorithms: Search engines, like Google, consider website speed as a ranking factor. Faster-loading sites are often ranked higher in search results, contributing to better visibility and increased organic traffic.
  • Mobile-Friendly Ranking: With the increasing use of mobile devices, Google has incorporated mobile-friendliness and page speed into its ranking algorithm, especially for mobile searches.
• Conversion Rates:
  • Impact on Conversions: Website speed directly influences conversion rates. Studies have shown that even a one-second delay in page load time can lead to decreased conversion rates. Faster websites contribute to a positive user experience, which is crucial for converting visitors into customers.
• Mobile Responsiveness: With the increasing use of smartphones, providing a fast and responsive mobile experience is essential. Slow-loading websites on mobile devices can result in a poor user experience and impact rankings on mobile search results.
