If you’re tempted to build a website yourself, think again
In today’s digital age, having a website for your small business is no longer an option, it’s a necessity. A well-designed website can help you establish your brand, attract potential customers, and showcase your products and services. To make it as pain free and easy as possible we have developed small business website design packages to suit any stage of business.
Creating a website from scratch can be overwhelming and time-consuming, especially if you’re not familiar with web design. That’s where we come in. DIY websites may seem like a great idea and possibly cheaper, but in the long run, you’ll save yourself a lot of headaches by having a professional website built from the get-go.
Here we discuss how to find the perfect package for your needs. From evaluating your budget to choosing the right features. So, whether you’re launching a new business or revamping an existing one, Woodswork will have an option that is the best website design package for your needs.
The importance of a professional website for small businesses
A website is often the first point of contact between your business and potential customers. It’s where they go to learn more about your products and services, your brand, and your values. A well-designed website can help you establish credibility, build trust, and differentiate your business from competitors.
A professional website can also help you expand your reach beyond your local community. With a website, you can reach a global audience and attract customers from different parts of the world. This can be particularly beneficial if you offer products or services that are not available in other regions.
A professional website can even help you streamline your business operations. You can use your website to process orders, schedule appointments, and provide customer support. This can help you save time and money and improve the overall customer experience.
Factors to consider when choosing small business website design packages
When choosing a website design package for your small business, there are several factors to consider. These include:
1. Your Budget
Probably the most obvious to you. Website design packages can vary in price depending on the features included. It’s essential to evaluate your budget and choose a package that fits within your financial constraints. Keep in mind that a website is an investment in your business, and you want to make sure you get the most value for your money. Woodswork Web has standard inclusions in all of our packages that we deem important for a complete website. We then offer a massive range of add-ons that are individually priced, so you don’t pay for anything you don’t need.
If you don’t want a newsletter signup for example you shouldn’t have to pay for one.
2. Your Business Goals
Your website should align with your business goals. Are you looking to generate leads, increase sales, or build brand awareness? Understanding your business objectives can help you choose the right platform and features for your website.
3. Your Target Audience
Your website should be designed with your target audience in mind. Who are your ideal customers? What are their needs and preferences? Understanding your target audience can help you create a website that resonates with them and drives conversions.
4. Your Brand Identity
Your website should reflect your brand identity. What are your brand values and personality? What colours, fonts, and imagery best represent your brand? A website design package that offers customisation options can help you create a website that aligns with your brand identity.
Even in our most basic predesigned website options, we keep your brand in mind.
Types of website design packages
There are two main types of website design packages: template-based and custom.
Template-based Website Design Packages
Template-based website design packages are pre-designed website templates that we customise with your content and branding. These packages are usually more affordable and faster to set up than custom packages. However, they may not offer the flexibility and customisation options of a custom package.
Custom Website Design Packages
Custom website design packages are tailored to your specific business needs and requirements. With a custom package, you can work with a team of designers and developers to create a website that aligns with your brand identity, business goals, and target audience. Custom packages offer more flexibility and customization options but can be more expensive and time-consuming to set up.
Features to look for in small business website design package
When choosing a website design package, look for the following features:
Responsive Design
A responsive website is one that adapts to different screen sizes and devices, providing a seamless user experience. With mobile browsing surpassing desktop browsing, responsive design is crucial for attracting and retaining website visitors.
User-Friendly Content Management System
A user-friendly content management system (CMS) allows you to easily manage and update your website content without the need for technical expertise. Look for a CMS that is intuitive and easy to use.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the process of optimising your website for search engines like Google or Bing. Look for a website design package that includes SEO features such as keyword research, on-page organic optimisation.
E-commerce Functionality
If you plan to sell products or services online, look for a website design package that includes e-commerce functionality. This should include features such as a shopping cart, payment processing, and inventory management. Not all shopping options are created equal. At Woodswork Web we use Woo Commerce. It has the ability to add massive scope changes to the buying experience such as bundling products or subscriptions.
Cost of website design packages
The cost of website design packages varies depending on the size and the scope of the site. At Woodswork Web we offer options for pre-designed or custom layouts. We also offer packages with total content creation, writing with SEO added or if you prefer, you can’t write your own copy and we will tweak it to include organic keywords and phrases for you.
Or if you don’t require your site to be searched for we can eliminate search engine optimisation altogether. This is not the norm but we are happy to cost a website build accordingly.
