Braystone

Web Design

Bespoke-built websites that are tailored to your branding, vision and required functionality.

All sites are built using a WordPress page builder. These allow full flexibility in the design of your site, as well as being cheaper and quicker to deploy than employing a developer to write custom code.

The added benefit is they are user-friendly which means you are able to update the site yourself (if you are so inclined) or easily and cheaply employ a web designer to make changes to the layout, rather than hiring an expensive web developer.

How I work...

The framework for each project will be as follows:
An introductory call to discuss initial requirements and to agree a baseline scope
Quotation and order form generated for agreed works
Build commences and initial layout and design concept presented
Continued updates and communication to ensure the project meets all requirements
Final review and client acceptance
Launch

Communication is absolutely key in this process. I will require your time to discuss ideas and review progress to ensure I’m delivering exactly what you want.

Pricing

Each project I undertake will be slightly different so it’s not possible to give an exact price that covers every variation. A quotation will be provided once we have agreed our baseline scope. As a general rule, there will be a one-off fee for the initial build and a monthly fee for hosting your site on my server and any content updates you may require. This will vary per site but the rough guide below can be used to calculate the approximate costs for your build.

E-Commerce Site £500-£1000

FAQs

How long does it take to build a site?

This will depend upon the type of site you want to build, the number of pages, and the functionality. A portfolio site with 3-4 pages, for example, should take 1-2 weeks. An e-commerce site with one hundred products could take 3-4 weeks.

Do you provide content or copy?

No, but I can refer you to a professional copy writer who can do this for you

Can you provide imagery?

Yes, I can provide suitable images from stock photo sites. Alternatively, if you have images of your own, I can use these but they must be of a suitable quality and resolution to be web-friendly.

Why do you cost more than the likes of Wix or Squarespace?

I use WordPress which allows for a fully bespoke and tailored site rather than an off-the-shelf offering such as Wix or Squarespace. It also provides almost limitless functionality - something that allows for solutions to be deployed that you wouldn't find elsewhere. Essentially, you're paying for the flexibility and functionality and my expertise to fulfil your requirements.

Do I enter into a contract if I host my site with you?

Yes, I will provide an Order Form, Terms & Conditions document and Hosting Agreement which serve as our contract.

How long are your contracts?

There is room for negotiation but typically they work on a month-by-month basis.

Can I migrate my existing site to your hosting?

Yes. I can take a full copy of your existing site and load it onto my server. I'd then point your domain name to my environment.

What sort of page load speeds will I see with your hosting?

This depends on whether I've built the site from scratch or we've migrated an existing site to my hosting that has been built elsewhere. If I build from scratch you should see a load time of between 1-2 seconds. Sites from elsewhere will vary depending upon the content, size and tools used to construct it.
