Although we work with a whole host of website building platforms, the majority of our programming would be based on the WordPress CMS.

What's the advantages of bespoke web design?

We are a web design agency that prioritises usability, scalability, security, user experience and easy backend maintenance for every client website. To create this, we utilise bespoke designs and custom coding, below are some of the advantages of our unique approach.

Bespoke web design

With our custom website design by our experienced team, you will invest in a website that reflects your brands values whilst promoting your products and/or services. We have some fantastic graphic designers in the Next Level Social team who can turn their hand to nearly anything. We have tested many different variations/layouts and know the combination that converts in to purchases and gains loyal customers.

User experience

User experience is a vital part of any website; Even more so now that Google uses algorithms to 'score' your website and this will affect it's organic rank on search engines. What your website visitors see on your site and the order that they see it will be proportional to its success in making conversions. One important metric that we test as a web design agency, at the end of every completed website is that you can access any page on your website within a maximum of three clicks. This ensures a positive user experience, a low bounce rate and therefore a higher conversion.

WordPress programming

The CMS is the 'Content Management System', the engine that makes your website work. We usually use WordPress as the CMS to design all our websites. This ensures that basic tasks are easy for our clients to manage; For example, the contents or to add or remove photographs. For the visual part, the front-end of your new website, we build with a combination of fundamental HTML elements, PHP, CSS, and JS. This combination offers huge versatility in design, website speed and scalability.

Web scalability

With a scalable website you will be able to grow and implement pages, features and functions at the rate your business grows and new strategies are implemented. For a webpage to be scalable, it must be designed with custom programming. Scalability means that our online developments can grow without becoming redundant. This is exactly what makes this platform an economic investment with the future introductions of automation, ERP modules or CRM's, etc.

Page speed & website security

Two fundamentals of good web design are excellent page speed and robust website security. Often neglected, these have become particularly important in terms of SEO and page visitor retention. With fast page speeds, it is statistically proven that Google can rank your site higher and visitors stay on them for longer. With poor site security, sites can become infected with viruses, injected with malware or worst case, disappear and unrecoverable. We are experts in creating lightning-fast websites with high security processes to match.

We're proud of our results

With the combination of skills and services that we use when building your website, as part of an overall digital marketing strategy, you will have the correct tools in place to take your business to new heights. Wether you're selling via an ecommerce site, advertising your services or just wanting to build loyalty with your brand, we can offer you a bespoke solution.
