Frequently Asked
Questions

I begin every project by deeply understanding your business objectives, target audience, and unique challenges. This insight shapes everything—from design to functionality—ensuring your website is a powerful tool for achieving measurable outcomes like increased enquiries, sales, or brand awareness.

Competitor analysis helps identify gaps and opportunities in your industry. By understanding what works (and what doesn’t) for your competitors, I create a site that not only stands out but also leverages their weaknesses to position your business as the go-to choice.

A conversion-focused website combines clear navigation, compelling calls-to-action, and user-centric design. I also integrate tools like live chat, forms, and optimised landing pages, ensuring visitors are guided toward taking action.

Performance optimisation includes minimising load times, compressing images, streamlining code, and utilising caching. Fast websites don’t just provide a better user experience—they’re also rewarded by search engines, helping your site rank higher.

From the start, I focus on SEO best practices like clean coding, optimised and structured meta data, and mobile responsiveness. This creates a foundation that ensures search engines can easily crawl and index your site, setting it up for future success.

I build websites with flexibility in mind, using platforms like WordPress that allow easy updates and additions. Whether you need new features, additional pages, or advanced integrations, your site will be ready to grow with your business.

Success is tracked through metrics like traffic, bounce rates, conversions, and time on site. I use tools like Google Analytics and Search Console to monitor performance and provide insights for ongoing improvements.

Security measures include SSL certificates, regular updates, firewalls, and secure coding practices. I also back up your site regularly and protect against potential threats, giving you peace of mind that your data is safe.

I design sites that are intuitive for non-technical users, especially when using WordPress. I also provide training and documentation so you can easily update content, track performance, and make changes without needing ongoing support.
