Design Choices Matter
Every decision made leading up to the launch of your website makes a difference upon its reception. The design, structure and navigation, the story and the content, the usability, the accessibility and the speed of the site all combine to build your brand’s reputation.
Take a look at your current website (if you’ve built one). Does it inspire trust? Your website displays a lot of information about your business. It is the lobby to your bricks and mortar store. An updated website with an elegant yet functional design and focus on user requirements is what makes the difference between clicks and sales. We believe that designing unique websites that are updated frequently is the best way to provide lasting value to you and your customers.
The
Design
Process
To offer you a digital marketing solution that’s right for you, we first perform an analysis of your business, with a particular focus on your unique value proposition and a typical customer journey.
In the design phase, we use conventional style in combination with your unique value to create a campaign that’s beautiful to look at. We collaborate with you throughout the entire process.
Our website developers then work towards total compliance with industry style and formatting standards (WW3) to deliver efficient and effective front-end code for your website.
From there, the back-end development phase rolls out and our team of web developers write innovative code optimised for speed. We use this to integrate all the different parts of your digital marketing engine.
We Design Websites For Success.
The differences between bought WordPress themes and custom coded themes are astounding in scale. Every business is unique, so we start the process from scratch for each and every business we service. Our customised approach to website design and digital marketing management is why we have a five star Google rating.
Why
custom web design?
We offer a tailor made approach to every single one of our clients. We build everything from the ground up, which allows us to deliver enhanced performance and unique functionality that meets our clients’ needs.
All of your business goals are considered during the web design process. All work on your website is planned out and then evaluated over time to give you the knowledge that everything is working perfectly. We create beautiful, immersive user experiences and make it as easy as possible to contact you, the business owner, via your website.
What's
a bought theme?
A cheap way to design a website is to invest in a pre-designed, off-the-shelf WordPress theme. Simply inject some content in and wait for traffic… right? Building a website this way is only a half-hearted attempt at doing the job, and the results will reflect this, potentially doing more harm than good to your business.
Your website is a 24/7 marketing channel that should be designed for show. It must work hard to convert your visitors to paying customers.
Why WP
themes can be bad.
Every now and then we have a new client approach us with a store-bought WordPress theme. The flaws and limitations of their website are always incredibly evident, particularly visitor traffic and keyword rankings.
WordPress themes are designed with a plug-and-play approach, which, in theory, sounds great. However, all that vestigial functionality can make a site hard to update and slow to load from all the extra weight. This can be penalised by Google when it’s deciding who to rank in what position.
If your business wants a successful digital marketing channel delivered via a personalised approach to innovative strategy development, you are the kind of client we want. Get in touch today!
Responsive
Web
Design
Google now employs a mobile-first approach to indexing, categorising and ranking websites, so it’s now more important than ever to invest in a website design that responds well on mobile devices.
We create mobile-friendly user experiences that ensures users on-the-go can access the most important content on your site easily. We make it simple for users to place an order, call or email you and we can keep track of all conversions.
A website is often the first point of contact your business will have with customers. If your audience arrives at your non-responsive site using a mobile device, the site will display in such a way that users will need to scroll and zoom to view a page. Some functions might not work as they’re supposed to. In contrast, a fully-functioning mobile-friendly menu and content that displays correctly on handheld devices is the most effective way to gain a long-term online audience.

What is the Turnaround on Website Construction?
The time it takes to provide a web design brief and finish construction of your website can vary depending on the size and complexity of your business. A typical WordPress website usually take around four to six weeks from concept design to upload to Google and other search engines. Some more-complex projects, like WooCommerce and Shopify websites with a lot of products, or websites that require complicated design assets or extensive content writing can take longer.
What Is A Static Website?
A static website is stored and loaded in a web browser as a single asset. User generated content does not exist on static websites. In other words, users cannot log in to a blog, they cannot make purchases, they cannot comment and they cannot share on social media. Static websites are very efficient and do not require large data transfers during loading. Furthermore, because there are less systems working in unison, as is the case on dynamic sites, static sites are far more secure than their dynamic counterparts.
What Is A Content Management System (CMS)?
A content management system is a website framework installed on a web server. It stores all the content that makes up a website: themes, text, images, videos and documents. A content management system incorporates a theme which defines how a website appears to its end users. It may also incorporate third-party plugins which provide website functionality in addition to that included in the out-of-the-box installation. A content management system is built with code, but does not require a knowledge of code to operate. Menus and sub-menus are used instead to navigate within the website back-end and to upload new content.
What Content Management System Do We Use?
At Inner West Web Design we use the WordPress content management system to build all of our clients’ websites. WordPress is very intuitive and easy to customise with templates and third-party plugins. We have built a custom WordPress template called WP Bakery which we use to structure and format each site and upload new content. WP Bakery makes it easy for us to make regular modifications to clients’ websites and is so intuitive that we actually offer tutorials; to teach clientele how to perform uploads of their own. We make use of third-party plugins on occasion too: to add functionality like contact forms, popup forms and home page sliders to our clients’ websites. All of our third-party plugins are from trusted sources and have been verified as safe and secure during our 17 years in the business.
Does A Design Impact A Website’s Search Engine Ranking?
To a degree, yes. There’s a lot that influences how your website will rank in search engines: a plethora of criteria a SEO Consultant can provide. But well-thought -out design, code formatting, inclusion of keywords, link building and the speed of a website are just some of the things an effective web designer would think about when creating a custom-designed website.
