Web Design

Your website is essentially your digital storefront – if poorly designed, customers won’t want to come in. Done right, web design creates consistency, builds trust, aids in SEO and conveys professionalism. Poor usability and navigation will result in users abandoning your site – using web design services like ours allow you to put your best foot forward and set a great first impression instead.

Web design is like cooking – you have to carefully measure and mix the right ingredients to create a delicious end product that leaves your visitors hungry for more. It’s a complex and intricate process that requires a deep understanding of design, code, business and marketing. It’s no easy feat, but not to worry, we’ve got the recipes and can say with confidence that our team has mastered the perfect ratios to design and develop websites for a wide range of industries.

Every website is unique and therefore costs vary to accommodate the specific features and requirements of the site. For example, a simple 1 page website would be more budget friendly than a fully developed 10 pager. However, depending on your business and the product/service you’re providing–a one page website might not be a possibility. 

We provide free phone consultations to understand you and your business needs. From here, we’ll craft a tailored quote that speaks directly to what you’re looking for. No bells and whistles, simply great working and great looking sites that attract, convert and retain customers.

If you’re interested in creating a new website or even redesigning a current one, we can provide a personalised quote based on your needs. If you have any budget constraints or ideas of what you’re looking for, just let us know and we’ll keep it in mind. We’re here to bring your dream website to reality.

Your web design and development timeline will depend on various factors such as the size of your site, revisions made, content availability and time pressures. For example, a one-page website with content provided by our copywriter would take less time than a ten page website with provided content. At Cloud Cartel we pride ourselves on our efficiency, but keep in mind that good things take time.

If you have a deadline that you need to achieve, we’re here to do everything it takes to make it happen. Whether it’s one week, one month or one year–connect with our team and we’ll let you know what’s possible.

If you’re interested in building your website with us, the first thing we’ll do is arrange a meeting to discuss what you’re looking to achieve. We can chat about your brand goals and desired style, including things like fonts, colours, logos and photography. Depending on what you already have and what needs further development, we’ll let you know what you need to provide in order for us to move forward.

Meetings are free of charge and are an important step in establishing the aesthetic and functional direction of your website. You’ll meet with our Creative Director Aaron as well as other designers depending on your industry. In the meeting we’ll ask you questions regarding your business strategy, information about your products and services, website features you require, current or future branding and design elements you admire. You don’t need to prepare anything. Simply organise a time and date with our team and we’ll do the rest.

We sure can! Regardless of whether you’re looking to make a couple of tweaks or complete a total overhaul, if you already have an existing website that you’re looking to update, we can help. We’ll adopt a collaborative approach so that we can combine your vision with our capabilities to achieve an end result that represents your business.

Absolutely. Once your website is published, we don’t disappear. If you require any website maintenance, we’re only a call away. In fact, most of our clients choose to hang around and require ad-hoc services or sign up to an ongoing package for ongoing services.

You betcha. Design, development, hosting and ongoing maintenance and support–we do the whole shabang! We’ll run you through the hosting process so that you feel confident knowing your website is in capable hands.

All of our sites are built on the web content management system WordPress, which provides strong encryption against cyber threats. WordPress encrypts (serve over SSL) all WordPress.com sites. It’s impossible to disable it, which ensures that your website is secure against cyber attacks. Back-ups are automatically conducted so that if you lose information, we can return the last saved back-up. 

In the unlikely event that your website is hacked, we have a specialised team that will work together to recover your site. We will scan for malware, conduct necessary updates, patch vulnerabilities, identify and repair weak spots and strengthen security. 

We understand that websites often hold important and confidential information and having a strong security and protection against cyber threats has become essential. When you choose to build a website with our team here at Cloud Cartel, you can rest assured knowing that your website will have the highest level of security on the market.

Absolutely. There’s no point having a stylish website if the SERPs (search engine result pages) can’t find it! Throughout the entire process we consider SEO and implement techniques throughout each page, product and link. Once your website is published, we can provide further assistance to get your page ahead of the competition. Check out further information on our SEO packages here.
