WEB DESIGN

Which one are you?

I DON’T HAVE A WEBSITE

I NEED A NEW WEBSITE

01. I DON’T HAVE A WEBSITE

Whether you're a startup or SME that's never had a website, ask yourself these questions:

DO I NEED ONE?

Think about three simple facts: 97% of people who use the internet look for local businesses online, and 30% of people who use the internet say they wouldn't do business with a company that doesn't have a website. Lastly, only 56% of small businesses have a website for their business. By getting one, you'll be ahead of the other 44% right away.

I DON’T HAVE THE BUDGET

Websites don't cost as much as they did in the past. With our prices, we try to be as competitive as we can. You can even start small with a one-pager and build up to a more structured website as your business grows.

I HAVE ALREADY ENOUGH BUSINESS

A website is meant to do more than just bring in new customers. It should also represent your brand online and help your current customers. Users look up a business's opening hours, directions, and phone number before going there. They also look up the business's profile, its products and services, and reviews and testimonials.

02. I NEED A NEW WEBSITE

Your website is too old, slow or simply doesn’t reflect your brand. Whether you like it or not the success of your online business relies heavily on how well you present your brand online and how functional your website is. Below you can find three simple questions you can ask yourself about your current website:

IS MY WEBSITE MOBILE-FRIENDLY?

A responsive and mobile-friendly website will look good on any device, desktop, laptop, mobile or tablet. To check that, simply visit your website from a mobile device. If pictures and text are cut off or the text is too small, it means your website is not responsive.

IS YOUR WEBSITE FAST?

Is your website loading in less than 3 seconds? That’s the recommended time. Anything longer than that, you will lose a % of prospects due to your website being slow to load. Multiple elements influence the page load speed including images, videos and your design.

DOES IT REFLECT YOUR BRAND?

This is one of the most common problems companies and brands face. In some cases you might have a nice website. The problem is it really doesn’t reflect who you are, your brand personality and how you want to be perceived.

Can I see more examples of your work?

Sure. You can check the many examples of the work by our Agency on our PROJECTS page.

What If I need a redesign of my current website?

Redesigning an old website or building a new one makes no difference for our Agency as it will still be a new project. As such, standard pricing applies.

What's WordPress?

Wordpress is a free,widely-used and highly-customizable content management system (CMS). This is the backend of your website. Through this software you will be able to make changes to your website, like posting a blog post, uploading new pictures, etc without the need for a developer. All our web design projects are WordPress-based

What's included in your Onpage Optimization service?

Great question! For Onpage Optimization* we mean optimizing all the elements of your website to maximize indexability and visibility on Google (title, meta description, sitemap, etc) as well as page load speed. All our websites come already optimized for search engines and page load speed.

What's SEO Copywriting?

By SEO Copywriting* we mean the process of reviewing your website text content and optimizing it for maximum visibility on search engines like Google. After the review, you will be presented with a revised and optimized version of your text content for you to approve.

What's bespoke photos and video?

This is a service* we are quite proud of and is almost unique to Digital Lotus. We strongly believe that your website should reflect the uniqueness of your brand. For this reason, we come to you and take up to 30 bespoke photos and 1 promo video (1 minute) and we use this content to populate your web pages.

What's Voice Search?

Voice Search is a type of voice-recognition technology applied to searches online where you look for an information on search engines by way of using your voice. If you own a smartphone, you most likely have already activated Google Assistant, Siri or Cortana. According to the latest stats, by 2020 50-75% of online searches will happen via voice search.

How do I know if my website is optimized for voice search?

Fair question! There are two simple things you can quickly check to see whether your website is optimized for voice search or not:

1. Does your website come up on Google for conversational searches? Voice Search is different from Text Search. One of the main differences is the conversational style of the searches. For example, let’s say you are looking for a restaurant in Dublin city centre. Your text search will most likely be something like ‘restaurant Dublin city centre’ or similar. On the other hand, your voice search might well be something like ‘what’s the best restaurant in Dublin city centre?’

2. Does your website feature an FAQ section? Voice Search can be leveraged by adding FAQs to your web pages. Google and other search engines match questions to answers for voice search queries and FAQs are a great way to be noticed.

PRICING AND BILLING

HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?

We ask our web design customers for a 30% upfront payment, which works as a deposit, after the choosing of the design. The remaining 70% can be paid when the project is nearly completed and the website ready to go live.

IS THERE A DISCOUNT IF I PAY UPFRONT IN ONE SOLUTION?

Yes, we offer discounts on up-front, one-solution payments.

WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND?

If you change your mind before we start working on the project, there is no charge from our end. If you change your mind midway through, near the end or after the team has already started on the project, we will keep the 30% deposit.

WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT?

We accept online payments, PayPal, direct debit and bank transfer (for individual projects such as web design).
