Website Design Packages Overview
If you are worried that a custom designed website might stretch your budget, you can opt to follow a template customization route. The end result will still be a highly professional and modern website, only at a fraction of the cost of a custom designed site.
In fact, it is very rare nowadays to build a website from scratch, because there is rarely a need to do that. Most professional website design firms use pre-made website templates which they then re-work and enhance according to their clients' requirements. The end result is presented to clients as custom design, often because sufficient customization makes the original template unrecognizable.
It is possible to take this approach one step further. We invite our clients to have a say in the process of selecting the base website template. We use highly professional feature-rich website templates provided by the most reputable website template design houses in the world:
If none of the website templates we would recommend to you captures your vision, we will be happy to design a custom website for you.
Website Design Process
01Once we have settled on a website template, we customize the look and feel of the website by changing the site's color scheme, navigation structure, styles and fonts, and other visual elements - to simulate or create the desired look and feel.
02We then install and configure into the website various pre-made modules and components to enable the required functionalities (e.g. a registration form, newsletter subscription, e-commerce, polls, comments, etc).
03Our clients watch the site's development through three stages and at each stage they are invited to provide feedback and make recommendations. Once the website is configured, customized, and launched, you can manage it and add content to it via your browser in a very simple way.
04Once your Joomla website has been setup, it takes roughly an hour to learn how to add and edit content on your website. The process of creating content is almost identical to the way we create emails in Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or other web-based email management system. Most of our website design packages include training and support (all except Bronze).
05If none of the website design packages described below captures your needs, we will be happy to create a custom website for you. Visit our custom web design project page for more information.
