Our approach to website design projects

Easy to use and flexible page builder

Our WordPress CMS is fully updateable and modular – you can make hundreds of possible web page layouts with ease.

Designed from scratch

All designs are prototyped in browser, so you can see the finished article before we go into build – what you see in design is what you get!

Highly accessible, super fast

Our web builds are developed to a high accessibility standard and are fast to load – great for your users and the planet, and it keeps Google happy!

We do everything

We take care of everything – content population, SEO audits and redirects are all included, giving you a market-ready website. We don’t outsource any part of a website design or build project, ever.

Lead generation and search always in mind

Our team of marketers are involved at all stages of the project, from keyword research and competitor analysis, through to full SEO checks, conversion tracking and 301 redirects at launch.

Quality support

We handle the aftercare for your website, with secure hosting and maintenance by developers who really understand the WordPress framework.

Halifax Web Design Agency FAQs

  • A Halifax web design agency designs websites. But there’s a bit more to it than that. A full service web design agency will also enhance your digital brand, research your audience, plan your user journeys, research SEO keyword targets, ensure accessibility at every stage, create engaging content, build and develop your website, host and maintain it for you, and be on hand with fast support to help you out once it’s live to the world.

  • Well, who else is going to design your website? A Halifax web agency will have all of the tools required to take you from your initial ideas all the way through to the finished product and beyond. If you seek out a freelance designer, will they be able to develop it? If you find a web developer, can they support with ongoing marketing? Working with a web design agency means consistency and far-ranging expertise.

  • That depends! Every web designer and agency will have their own pricing structure, and then the complexity of the project will also influence the final cost. Very low budget sites – your “website design for £200” deals – aren’t as common these days, but you can still find solutions to fit just about any budget. If you’re looking for a bespoke website design with lots of custom features and functionality, and you want to work with a web designer near Halifax who specialises in your industry, you can expect that your web design quote is going to start at a few thousand pounds.

  • The biggest driver for choosing a web design agency tends to be cost – whether the quotes fit your budget. But outside of this, you should look at an agency’s specific experience, whether that’s directly in your sector, or in delivering similar web solutions for other industries. Do you like the way their portfolio looks? Is the work they do relevant to you? Beyond this, relationships are key. A good Halifax web design agency will be easy to communicate with – collaborative, supportive, and seeking solutions, rather than placing barriers in your way.

  • Every website is different – different numbers of pages and features, different audiences, different design requirements. And, of course, design is very subjective – what “good web design” looks like is different for everyone, and with so many ways to achieve best practice, a lot of it can come down to personal taste. So while a web design project can be wrapped up in a few months, it can also take a year or more. Typical web design projects in our studio – including design and build – tend to last four to six months.

  • A web designer is responsible for the creative side. The user interface – colours, fonts, layouts, interactions. A web developer is responsible for the technical side. They take the designs and write code that brings them to life on the screen. A web design agency will typically have both in-house, allowing them to work together on a combined solution that excels technically while looking spectacular!

  • We believe that we’re unique in Halifax – and indeed in the North of England – in being a truly full service web design agency with the broadest experience, while still being a small, approachable studio. We don’t outsource any aspect of what we do, and are recognised as specialists in both digital marketing and web development. Our web design services for Halifax are underpinned by expert digital marketing knowledge – we deliver websites that look great, but perform to exceptionally high SEO standards.

    We have also put accessibility and inclusivity at the heart of everything we do – our small team is a diverse group of specialists, focusing on delivering digital services that work for everyone, backed up by personal experience.

    We’ve worked with everyone from small local start-ups to UK cultural institutions, and international Blue Chips, across both B2B and B2C markets. All of this while remaining a team of less than 20, many of whom have been with us for years – we’re a team you can really get to know and work closely with. Or, at least, we like to think so!

More on our Halifax web design services

  • Yes! SEO is an essential element of every web design project – or, at least, it should be. Technical SEO plays a major part in a site’s performance on search, so the way the site is designed and built in order to be understood by search engines is very important. Our designers also work closely with our content and marketing teams to consider every aspect of the site’s user journey and how it can assist conversions.

  • With over 100 websites on our servers, ensuring the highest security standards is absolutely essential for us and all our Halifax clients. We apply multiple levels of security – at the domain level through SSL certificates and a CDN, at server level through bot protection and firewalls, and at application level through WordFence security, virtual patching of plugins and password policies. We also reduce our reliance on potentially vulnerable plugins by building features bespoke from scratch. We monitor our sites daily, and have a rigorous update schedule.

  • Absolutely! We specialise in developing accessible branding concepts that feed directly into the full range of digital requirements a brand will have to fulfil in a new website design. You can explore some of our branding projects in our portfolio if you’d like to see what our team are capable of!

  • Yes! It’s your site, you’ve paid for it, so you own it. All of the primary software we use to build our websites is open source, so you won’t have to pay us any licensing fees.

  • There is always the potential for a website to take a hit to its SEO performance in a redesign or rebuild project – that’s why it needs careful management from a team that understand the impact of any changes on SEO. We always conduct SEO audits of the websites we build to ensure pages with vital rankings and backlinks are not lost, and implement full 301 redirect strategies on launch. Our goal is to reduce risk as much as possible – even if you are switching to an all new domain name.

  • We don’t design to templates! And we don’t use out-of-the-box themes, either. Everything we create is completely bespoke to you, so you get the website that you need. Even within your site, we don’t restrict you to just a couple of page layouts – you’ll have amazing flexibility to build web pages exactly to your liking.

  • How soon do you want to get started? We can usually kick off a web project within a couple weeks of an enquiry if we need to – if not less! The first steps are to jump on a call with us to discuss your requirements – this will help us refine our quote to give you the best solution at the right cost. If you choose to go ahead with us, we’ll dive right into a discovery phase, working with you to set a creative, technical and content brief for the site.
