Clear Guidance. Real Results
We know you have questions about building a new website so we've put together a collection of commonly asked questions.
Feel free to reach out with any additional questions!
What is website design, and why is it important?
Website design involves creating the visual layout, user interface, and overall aesthetic of a website. A well-designed website is crucial for making a positive first impression, providing a seamless user experience, and enhancing brand credibility.
Can anyone build a website?
Technically speaking, anyone can build a website with the wide range of user-friendly website builders and content management systems available today. However, creating a well-designed, functional, and optimized website requires a combination of technical skills, design expertise, and knowledge of search engine optimization (SEO) best practices. While it is possible for individuals without formal training to build a basic website, hiring a professional web designer or developer can ensure that your site meets your specific needs, provides a seamless user experience, and stands out from the competition.
Think about it this way; people have the right to represent themselves in court, or draft their own legal docuemnts, but is really a good idea? It takes the expertise of an experienced lawyer to know what to do in a given situation and to draft documents that are specific to the individual situation and protects the parties involved.
Building a website is different than building an effective website.
How long does it take to design a website?
The duration of the website design process varies depending on factors such as complexity, number of pages, and the extent of customization required. On average, a basic website takes us about 3 weeks, while more complex projects may take longer to complete.
How much does a professionally built website cost?
The cost of website design varies based on the project's scope, complexity, and required customization. Basic websites typically start at a few thousand dollars, while more advanced projects with custom features can be significantly more expensive.
At Compass Marketing, we believe in an ongoing approach to website management. Instead of a "set it and forget it" model, we emphasize the importance of continuous maintenance, improvement, and fresh content. We prefer to establish a monthly SEO program rather than charging a higher upfront fee for the expertise and time involved in building a website.
What is responsive website design, and why is it important?
Responsive website design ensures that your site adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes and devices, providing an optimal user experience. All websites should be responsive in this day and age. With an increasing number of users accessing websites on mobile devices, responsive design is essential for engaging and retaining visitors.
Will my website be optimized for search engines?
Yes, we incorporate basic search engine optimization (SEO) best practices into our website design process, ensuring that your site is search-friendly.
However, true SEO is an ongoing process. Google continuously evaluates your online presence for trust signals, so relying solely on effective on-page optimization is not enough for a comprehensive SEO strategy.
How will I update my website after it's been designed?
We build websites using content management systems (CMS) that allow you to easily update, add, or edit content on your site without requiring technical expertise. However, we are a "Do It For You" agency and do not expect you to learn how to make changes yourself and would much prefer that you share your ideas with us and allow us to implement them most effectively.
Contact us today to discuss your website design and development needs.
Together, we can create a powerful online presence that sets your business apart from the competition.
