No matter how much experience you have with websites, we can teach you how to get the most out of your site and be confident editing text, adding images, blog posts and more. Ensuring you have a fantastic project experience matters just as much to us as the quality of the final product we hand over. Our process framework not only ensures that all of our projects run smoothly, but it also gives you ample opportunity to be as involved in the design & feedback process as you’d like to be. First, we take the time to fully understand your objectives so that we are certain we are starting from a place of unity and know what direction is best suited to the needs of you and your business. Taking influence from the discovery phase, we will work with you to produce a plan of action. Typically, we’ll construct a low fidelity wireframe to help us bring clarity to what information is to be presented and to establish where new content may need to be produced. Once a wireframe has been established we can turn our focus towards the look and feel of your website. By working in this way and thinking about the content first we not only expedite the design process by working concurrently to build content and copy, but we ensure that we have a solid foundation for design based on functionality first. Depending on the complexity of the project at hand, we will create full website mock-ups to clarify our design before developing the site itself. For simple projects, the design and development process can be combined, saving time and enabling you to get a hands-on look at your site as it’s being built. The development phase of the project sees us execute our plan; we make sure you are always kept in the loop and able to be as hands off or as collaborative as you want during the entire process. We take care behind the scenes to ensure that best practices are followed. Our websites are optimised for all devices and are developed with user experience and SEO in mind. The invisible parts of a website are often where corners are cut, we pride ourselves on making sure things are done correctly and our quality control throughout the process. We don’t leave you in the dark after a website is up and running. We will always provide you with training so you get the most out of your new website. We offer a selection of ongoing support packages that cater for a variety of needs across all sizes of businesses. This ensures our process of refinement continues long after a project is launched using real world feedback to gain valuable insight into how visitors are using your site. You also have access to a range of SEO specific packages should you want to invest in keyword driven content to drive organic traffic to your website. We work hard for our clients and pride ourselves on the the reputation that we’ve built. We have over 35 five star reviews on Google, and counting.

Blake McFarland – Founder of BM Sculptures A professionally designed website enables you to reach, impress and convert audiences online. It is a space you have full control over, giving you the opportunity to communicate your story in a way that is truly yours, without the limitations of social media profiles or third party sites. A website that is optimised for search engines is also a long term investment, as you can organically drive traffic and achieve conversions from search engines such as Google and Bing. Without asking a few questions about your requirements, we can’t give an accurate quote for website work. Different bespoke websites vary tremendously in complexity by their very nature and this is reflected in the investment they require. However, as a rough guide simple websites tend to start from £2500; exceptions can be made for smaller budgets with limited specifications. Get in touch to receive an accurate quotation for your website needs. Websites differ in size and scope, so it is very hard to give any sort of generalised time-frame to a project without accessing further information. We always discuss deadlines in our initial meeting, so if there is a pressing launch date it is really important that we know before starting work. We will never commit to a hard deadline we aren’t sure we can make and will talk to you about how you can help us stay on-track and keep the project running smoothly. All of our websites are built on globally trusted content management systems such as Wordpress. These are specifically designed to make it as easy as possible for you to update content on your website. When we hand over the website to you, we will provide you with training to ensure you’re confident in getting the most out of your site. We also offer ongoing support packages suited to a variety of needs. As soon as we receive full payment for the project, the website is entirely yours. You will not be locked in to using Wilkes Wood as your web design agency and can move or transfer the site as you wish. All of our web projects start with a free no obligation chat. That gives us the chance to discuss where you are now, where you want to be, and how we can help get you there…Websites
