Responsive website design

Never has it been so important to have a responsive website that performs at all levels and across all platforms. Today, usability is a massive ranking factor. Your rankings can be hugely impacted by not having a truly responsive website and Google particularly dislikes sites that are not mobile responsive.

Whether yours is a company website, a portfolio, a Shopify website or even just a simple blog, it must be built correctly to respond to any size of screen.

That’s why our state-of-the-art, responsive web design service – built by our coding engineers – ensures that your website will perform over all devices.

Mobile first website design

As one of the leading website design companies in Teesside, Frankfurt and Zurich, we know the importance of mobile-first design. Currently, over 80% of all web browsing is done on mobile devices and this number is growing. E-commerce website design is growing just as much and at a rapid pace.

Mobile sites don’t just need to perform. They need to be responsive too, adjusting to the particular device being used to browse. What’s more, they need to be elegant, easy to use and fast. If they are too slow or have too much going on, it can be detrimental to the user experience and to your brand.

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)

Building your site with SEO in mind is crucial. Our very own copywriters will create content that is search engine friendly. But it all starts with a site that is user friendly, fast and responsive. We can then create an SEO package built around your business goals.

There are hundreds of factors to consider when ranking a website. We use three pillars to create an engaging SEO campaign: Content, Links and Technical on-site factors.

 

How will we build your site?

Site Map

We will meet you and we will scrutinise your business and look at your core objectives. We will then create your site map so that you are absolutely clear on how the site will operate before we begin the design stage.

 

Creation

Our Principal Engineer and team of coders will take charge of translating your website design into reality. Under the watchful eye of our design team we will replicate your designs into a live website. And you can rest assured that all content will be fully search engine optimised before launch.

 

On-going Support

We offer a world-class client service. We are on hand night and day for urgent requests, amends, support and the general upkeep of your website. We have clients not just in York, Middlesbrough and Zurich but worldwide in a variety of time zones. We don’t do 9-5; we understand that our clients require us immediately and are available 7 days a week.
