User-Centred Web Design & Development

first impressions always count

There’s a lot of truth in the saying that “first impressions always count”. In fact, you have just seven seconds to make a good impression before your visitors make up their mind about what they think about your brand.
Your website is your storefront in the digital age. It entices customers and drives sales just like a well-designed physical store would do. However, web design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about understanding your target audience and creating a user experience that converts them into loyal customers. This is why it’s so important to have a website design that represents the values of your brand.   Our web design agency can help you with the analysis, design, implementation, and deployment of your site. Together, we can ensure that the all-important first impression within seven seconds is great.

UX & UI in Web Design

UX and UI often get lumped together within the context of web design, but are actually very different. UI (user interface) covers visual and interactive website elements that allow users to navigate, engage with content, and accomplish tasks. Everything from buttons and forms to menus comes under the umbrella of UI. On the other hand, UX (user experience) encompasses everything that a user may experience whilst browsing your site, both good and bad, emotional and physical. Both are vital for building positive connections between users and brands. After all, users are likely to be significantly more forgiving of brands that they like!
The primary goal of UI design is to create interfaces that are intuitive, visually appealing, and user-friendly. This involves considering key factors like usability, accessibility, and responsiveness across various devices and screen sizes. Our experts understand the critical role that UI design plays in shaping user experience. We specialise in designing effective layouts, typography, colour palettes, icons, graphics, interactive elements and consistent content/ modules. This attention to detail not only enhances usability and accessibility, but also contributes to brand perception and user satisfaction.   Good user experience (UX) is crucial for retaining visitors, encouraging engagement, and driving conversions. No single thing creates a positive experience for a user. Aesthetics, technology and emotion all play important roles, so we’ll take a variety of things into account, including visual hierarchy, legible typography, clear CTA’s, intuitive navigation, consistent branding and accessible page structure. We’ll also consider technical stuff like responsiveness, page load speeds, and multimedia. By continually iterating our designs based on user feedback and analytics, we create positive user experiences that encourage visitors to stay longer, explore more, and convert more readily.

As with all our services, we believe a robust and thorough process is the key to success, our design process includes:
1.0

Audit & Objectives

We’ll scour market reports and analytics to uncover the current state of your website and identify areas of potential improvement that a rebuild or redesign could solve. We’ll then review our audit of your current site, and sit down with you to discuss what optimisations we recommend and how these optimisations meet the clear objectives (e.g. increasing lead generation, boosting e-commerce sales, etc) that you want your new website to achieve.

2.0

Competitor Analysis

We’ll scout out how your competitors are solving similar problems to yours. By taking a look at what your competitors’ websites look like, we can get a better picture of what works – and also what doesn’t – when it comes to marketing your business to your target audience. We’ll analyse both the structure and layout of sites to begin building the foundation for your customer journey and navigation.

3.0

User Feedback

Your customers are the ultimate judges. We’ll speak to your customers and customer service team to gain further insight into how your site is performing. We can interrogate surveys or support emails to get a glimpse of the real picture. All of this analysis will help us to define the problems, pain points and areas for improvement that your new website design should aim to address.

4.0

User Personas

Don’t design for everyone: design for someone specific. Having taken the time to thoroughly understand the audiences that you want to market your business to, we’ll define and create identities for the user groups that you want to target. Such detailed persona profiles will let us craft a digital experience that meets their exact needs and ensures all web design aspects add up to equal a final design that will increase conversions.

5.0

Technical Scoping

Armed with all of this information, we’ll fully scope out your web design project – regardless of whether it’s reliant on bespoke software or using an existing open-source CMS/eCommerce platform – to ensure optimal delivery within a timescale that works for you.

6.0

Information Architecture

Think of IA as the organisation of your website’s content. We’ve dedicated ourselves to the art of organising websites. We’ll create the optimal website architecture that will allow your pages to be crawled properly. We’ll deliver a site structure that works for your users, making sure everything is easily found and accessible. This process includes designing product or service pages that are aligned with your priority keywords.

7.0

User Flows

We’ll map out user flows based on scenarios that we develop using real-life data. This lets us review the full customer journey, identify potential roadblocks and optimise the conversion process. We’ll create wireframes to present to you before the final design of your brand new site is realised.

8.0

Wireframes & UX Web Design

Creating a UX-focused visual design is the final step of our process. We will ensure your designs cover all aspects of content and user requirements, designing each page structure based on all the data that’s been collated and the findings from the wireframes. This is where the use of colour, typography, and imagery come into play, which is also carefully considered to create a cohesive and engaging visual product.

Web Design FAQs

What is Responsive Web Design?

Responsive web design delivers a website that dynamically responds to the screen size, platform and orientation of the device that’s viewing it. As a user switches between a mobile device, a laptop, desktop or tablet, the website’s display, resolution, image size and scripting abilities will accommodate those changes. This ability to successfully render on all devices is possible via serving CSS properties that are dependent on the characteristics of a user’s device, plus the use of flexible grids, layouts and images. Responsive web designs eliminate the need for mobile-specific site builds; one web design is suitable for any viewing device.

What is UX Design?

User Experience (UX) design is the process of creating digital products that are intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable to use. UX design is all about putting the user’s needs at the forefront of the design process. This involves understanding user journeys, preferences, and pain points, and using this information to create a website that meets their needs and expectations.
