Key considerations when beginning the process of hiring a web design company in Sydney

CMS websites

We provide various CMS platforms that are best for small to large sized businesses. It allows you to self manage the website without relying on the website developers all the time. There are various open source CMS platforms available on the market such as WordPress, Drupal, Wix, and Squarespace. However, Designpluz delivers most of its projects in WordPress and Drupal as they provide a strong foundation. As an expert web development agency in Sydney, we ensure that the CMS platforms we use allow our customers to grow, support their ongoing SEO efforts, and easily integrate with various third-party systems. Please do your research and ask enough questions of the website developers you are engaging before settling on a particular CMS platform.

Ability to Integrate with 3rd Party Systems

While most businesses see website projects as a tool to increase their revenue, they forget a good website can automate their business, improve the efficiency and reduce the manpower which will save a lot of $$ in the long run (and also less headache). Designpluz always looks out to improve the business efficiency through websites. This can be done through integrating your website with various platforms like Xero, Stripe, Mailchimp, MYOB, Paypal, various ERP & CRM platforms etc. We capture your business pain points during the strategy workshop and come up with the best solution to solve those problems. Depending on the industry, your business, service / product, these solutions can vary. At Designpluz we have experienced frontend and backend web developers who can integrate any 3rd party systems from small to large.

Template Vs Custom Website

99% of the projects we deliver are 100% custom Websites. While template websites are quicker and cheaper, we don’t enjoy working with templates. The team gets excited working with our customers during the Custom Web Design and Development process.

What You Can Expect From Sydney’s Best Web Design Agency?

While our process is simple and straightforward, it provides the backbone to quality website development and achieving digital objectives. This is a proven process, it works from small websites to large websites.

Initial Consultation

All of our projects start with an initial consultation where we get to know your organisation and you get to meet the team behind Designpluz. You’ll discuss your project with our UI/UX lead and project managers, gaining an understanding of our process and answering questions to help clarify your goals and align our web designers. We write a tailored proposal which includes everything you need to excel above your competition, then we present it to you to answer questions right there and then.

User Interviews

Upon project approval and commencement, we hold a workshop to discuss your user personas and plan user interviews which inform our process and help create a good architecture that fits for your actual end users. You’ll provide us with a contact list and some information about who we’re going to interview, we write tailored questions which we’ll ask during the user interviews and have you review and sign them off before we begin.

This stage helps alleviate any assumptions we might have about what is important to your users and allows us to understand the scope of our designs, what’s non negotiable to your users and what we should prioritise. User interviews are a must if you want to provide the best user interface and user experience (UI/UX) for users and they help shed light on what direction our designers should take your website design.

Client Workshopping

With an understanding of your user base, we hold an in-depth workshop with key stakeholders to discuss all the small details about the website, from an architecture, UI/UX and development perspective. We’ll run through some important questions, such as “What action do you want your users to take?” and then we’ll challenge your answer, fostering a collaborative relationship dedicated to the end goal. We discuss your competition, design influences and benchmarks, images, brand guides, functionality, sitemap, integrations and more.

Wireframe Prototypes

Wireframes provide you the general “feel” of the website which we’re embarking on, allowing you to focus on a stripped back version of key pages, so that you can dial down on certain elements before it becomes more complex. A wireframe is a black and white structure created using one of our design tools, such as Figma or Adobe XD. You’ll be asked to focus on layout, feel, buttons, font, header, footer, Call-To-Actions and provide detailed feedback, which we’ll discuss in an online meeting via screen share. We’ll iterate, update, and finalise the wireframes before continuing our process further. While your brand guide is considered at this stage, it becomes more evident in the UI/UX stage below.

UI/UX Designs

This is where things get interesting, we implement your brand guides in full, adding colours, images, vector designs and more to help you visualise exactly how the website will look. While we do provide basic hover effects for you to consider, these designs are functionless, you view them in the browser and scroll up and down but they have no backend development attached. This gives you a great visual experience of what the site will look like which you can share with your team to gather feedback.

We create a multitude of pages, including the homepage and other key pages such as services, about, contact us, news post, blog post, products page, products index/listing pages, registration forms and more. We create UI/UX for desktop and mobile so that you have an understanding of what the site will look like on all devices.

Website Development

Once all the designs have been reviewed and approved, we begin development in our staging server. You’ll get updates on how the development process is going throughout the duration and you’ll review the site at two primary milestones: desktop and finally mobile. You’ll be able to see the recreation of our static pages as they come to life through actual software development. You’ll provide any feedback such as image changes and text updates, although in most cases there’ll be little to no changes because of our in depth UI/UX phase.

Web Hosting & Live

We launch your website during a quiet time in your business, often after 5pm to minimise interruptions to your users. Depending on the type of website (eCommerce vs Static informative website), we might distribute login information to migration customers so that they can access their account at launch, or might send an EDM on your behalf announcing the website launch. We host our websites through Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide the fastest, most secure hosting option for our clients. Websites hosted with AWS are lightning fast and provide an amazing experience for users.

Device Optimisations & Testing

Once we’ve completed your desktop feedback, we begin optimising the software for all different screen sizes, from large to small, as well as different browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox Safari and Opera. You’ll review the site again just prior to going live on all of your devices, this is a great time to share the site with your team internally to get any final feedback before we plan to go live.

Post Live Services

As part of our web design services, we offer a multitude of services which support innovative businesses looking to capitalise on the digital space and the success it can bring. While our websites are optimised for initial ranking through google based on our on-page SEO development, we offer off-page backlink building services which help boost your websites ranking and drive traffic and leads, subsequently resulting in more leads and higher return on investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What platforms does Designpluz use for website development?

Most of our projects are developed using WordPress, Shopify, Magento and custom CMS solutions for web development. Although this depends on the specific requirements and considerations of each project. We leverage common, secure and highly functional platforms to bring our project to life.

Does Designpluz offer custom web development solutions?

Designpluz specialises in designing and developing websites that are 100% customized based on your specific needs. Custom websites are our primary focus and service offering in Sydney, while our other services act as a pathway to success in terms of digital marketing, branding consistency & collateral and software development for business automation and productivity processes. We avoid doing anything that is template / off the shelf.

What is the difference between web design and web development?

Website Design and Web Development are two distinct and co-dependant components of high quality websites, with the UI/UX phase starting first before development following thereafter. While design is focused on establishing a look, feel (UI) and user experience (UX) that adheres to business requirements and brand guidelines, web development involves the functional implementation and integrations.

My website ranks well on Google (SEO), will the new website affect this ranking?

No. In most cases, our newly launched websites actually organically improve our clients ranking due to their adherence to SEO best practices like fast load times, readability, engagement and more. We engage our SEO team to analyse and work closely with our website developers to ensure a seamless translation of Search Engine Rankings from one website to another, while also identifying areas of improvement. We believe that the full ecosystem of quality website design and development involves considerations from all aspects including digital marketing, branding, process automation and integrations as well as SEO.

Do you develop complicated, large eCommerce websites?

Yes, Designpluz is specialised and experienced in developing complicated and large-scale e-commerce websites on different platforms such as WooCommerce and Shopify. We implement extensive features, creating robust, sales focused online stores that can handle a high volume of products and transactions. Our eCommerce projects are developed from the perspective of customer experience while improving automation and efficiency for businesses.

What’s the difference between a template and custom website?

Template based websites are pre-designed and are reused over and over again for different organisations. They are often updated in terms of colours, text and imagery but lack uniqueness and aren’t purpose designed for that specific business. Custom websites on the other hand follow a more thoughtful UI/UX process which starts from the ground up, considering audiences, brand guides, what information should be included, benchmark references, competitors, user experience and more to create an authentic outcome which is unlike any existing website. We only develop custom websites which are created specifically for your business after our workshop, no two websites we develop are the same.

How long does it take to build a website?

Timelines vary based on the inclusions during the User Interface & User Experience phase, functionality to be developed, integrations, hosting environment setup, deadlines and more. In most cases, we launch our websites between 8 to 12 weeks from our workshop date, although this is heavily dependent on our clients as well.

Can Designpluz take over a website that is half done by another company?

Yes we can, however it is dependent on the platform used. If it’s in WordPress, Drupal and other leading open source platforms, we will be more than happy to rescue your project. We have rescued various projects in various stages in the past. Please contact us to discuss further.

How much does it cost for a Custom Website in Sydney?

Designing and developing a custom website in Sydney is a significant investment due to the extensive hours required for each phase, including the initial workshop, prototype design (wireframing), UI/UX design, web development, and testing. As a general guide, the cost for a simple custom website in Sydney typically ranges from $8,000 to $50,000. Boutique web design agencies tend to fall at the lower end of this range, while larger agencies are typically at the higher end. The cost will be depending on number of pages, how much UI/UX required, website platform, SEO data transfer, CRM integrations, website hosting and other complex functionalities used on the website.

Designpluz is a small boutique website design company, hence our price is always on the lower end of the range. We customise each of our proposals to provide the best solution and to also give clients options that fit their budgets. We suggest booking a meeting with us to discuss your project in further detail so that we can provide you with a tailored proposal suited to your specific requirements.

Can Designpluz help with content creation for the website?

We can certainly help you with content writing if that is required through engagement with our content writing partners, although if your business has the capacity to write content for the website, we often suggest that this is the best approach as it allows you to demonstrate your experience and expertise while portraying your business exactly as you intend. Regardless of the copy you write, good web agencies in Sydney will craft a design which is purposeful based on your content.

Does Designpluz provide ongoing support and maintenance after the website is launched?

Yes, we do and we strongly suggest that all of our clients leverage this service for a number of reasons including peace of mind, continual maintenance & software updates (including security checks), fast hosting with SSL certificates and backups while also maintaining design integrity (we’ll make updates to your website ourselves based on the tasks you email us so that the site remains beautiful after launch).

We have different options for this type of service and we’ll discuss this with you during our workshop and also after the website is live. We are here to support our customers into the future on a long term basis. In saying this, we also provide PDF guides which instruct our clients to make updates to their websites themselves in the case that you don’t want to rely on us for updates (although we are very quick), such as uploading new blogs.

How can I get in touch with Designpluz to discuss my web design project needs?

We’d love to hear from you! Please send us an email through the contact form or call us on 02 9829 9881. Our process involves an initial discussion, then a 30 minute strategy session before we present you a custom proposal. From there, we answer any questions you might have before booking a workshop and commencing your project. Our team is approachable and ready to get started on your project as soon as you are, guiding you through what can sometimes be a hard process to navigate. Let’s chat!
