Website Design.
Built Around Your Business, Not a Template.
A good website should bring in enquiries and make it obvious what your business does within seconds. Every site I build starts from your business, not a one-size-fits-all layout.
Why Choose an Ashford Web Designer for Custom Website Design?
As an Ashford web designer, I see this mistake constantly: a lot of ‘free website’ offers on Facebook or Marketplace sound tempting – until you realise you don’t own the site, can’t move it, and it often breaks the moment you need to change something.
Custom website design means a site that’s actually yours: built around your business, hosted properly, and set up so you’re never stuck waiting on someone else to make a simple update.
No hidden lock-in, no generic templates pretending to be bespoke, just a website that works as hard as you do. Custom WordPress build – no generic drag-and-drop templates.
If you’re looking for a web designer in Ashford who’ll actually take the time to understand your business rather than drop you into a template, that’s exactly what this process is built around.
What's Included
- Custom WordPress build - no generic drag-and-drop templates. Every site is built specifically for your business rather than adapted from a pre-made layout, so it looks and works the way your business actually needs.
- Branding guidance - colours, fonts, and layout that fit your business. If you don't already have brand guidelines, I'll help pull together something consistent that matches how you want to be seen.
- Basic SEO setup - so search engines can find and index your site properly. This covers the technical groundwork (page titles, meta descriptions, structured data) that gives your site a fair shot at ranking, before any ongoing SEO work.
- Fully responsive - looks right on phones, tablets, and desktops. Most visitors will land on your site from a phone first, so this isn't an afterthought - it's tested properly across screen sizes.
- Support through the whole process - and guidance after launch. You're not left figuring things out alone once the site's live; I'm on hand if something needs explaining or tweaking early on.
How It Works
-
1. Discovery
Understanding your business, goals, target audience, and what you actually need — through an initial chat and a bit of research. This stage is about getting the brief right before any design work starts, so the site is built around how your business actually operates, not guesswork. -
2. Planning & Design
Building a clear plan and visual design - sitemap, mockups, and branding, so you know exactly what you're getting before development starts. You'll see and approve the layout and look of the site at this stage, so there are no surprises once the build begins. -
3. Development & Testing
Turning the design into a working website, tested across devices and browsers, so it works properly for every visitor. This includes checking load speed, mobile responsiveness, and that every page works as intended before anything goes live. -
4. Launch
Setting up hosting and putting the site live for the public. I handle the technical side of going live - domain setup, hosting configuration, and a final check, so the site is working correctly from day one. -
5. Ongoing Support
Once it's live, you can take it from there or hand it over to me for ongoing updates and maintenance, your call. Whether that's occasional content changes or a rolling care plan, support is available whenever you need it.
