Get a free quote for web design in Glasgow

Usually when getting quotes for web design you’ll receive quotes from Glasgow web designers ranging from as cheap as £150, to thousands of pounds.

The cost of a website depends on what features you need, what you need the website to do, and how much content you have.

Things we’d recommend avoiding:

• cutthroat cheap web design packages , as very cheap websites nearly always turn out to be crap, after all you get what you pay for!
• Free “just add hosting” web design packages. Nothing in life is free, so you need to ask why someone is offering to work for free
• Web designers who work based on themes, these are often a copy and paste job and don’t do your business justice
• Website design services offered by logo designers or graphic designers in Glasgow: Web design and web development are expert fields, and require experience to do it right.

We offer a range of web design packages to suit every budget. You can tailor your package to suit your budget, and if you need to adjust your budget later on, it’s not an issue.

Whether you want ample design time for the very best quality, or need a scaled back website for a startup business, Web Works Glasgow have a web design package to suit your needs. Get in touch to discuss your needs and we’ll provide a  detailed quote in writing.

There are several overheads to running a website for your business to be aware of:

• Domain: this is your site address eg mybusiness.com. This should only cost around £20/yr for most domains
• SSL Certificate. This is needed to get the secure padlock icon in your browser bar. This should cost around £60/yr
• Hosting: this is where you store all the files and code that makes up your website. This will be a monthly cost which can vary from £10-45 per month depending on the scale and complexity of your website.

Web Works Glasgow can design and build a website in a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity of your project.

The most time consuming part of any web design project is writing and gathering the content. This is nearly always what holds up launching a website, so if you’re in a rush, make sure and do this part ahead of time!

Before you can start building your website, there are a few things you’ll need:
1. A Domain name
This the address of your website. eg: www.mybusiness.com
2. Hosting
Hosting is where you store all the files, images and code that makes up your website. Website hosting comes in many forms; hosting can be cheap, or expensive. It’s better to get decent web hosting, to make sure your site is powerful enough to handle your website, and fast enough to help you rank well on Google.
3. An SSL Certificate
An SSL protects your website traffic and gives you the secure padlock icon in your browser. Google will penalize websites without an SSL Certificate so this is a must.
Web Works Glasgow have a web hosting and support package, where we will take care of all the above for you, so you can get on with running your business!

Web Works Glasgow provide instructions and training with every website we design and build.

At launch, you’ll have access to the back end of the site where you can manage and update your website using a simple, easy to navigate user interface.

Every Web Works Glasgow website also includes a premium page builder, so you can easily create beautiful blog posts, and even make your own pages.

Of course, if you don’t ahve time to do this yourself, we are happy to do this on your behalf after launch, just pick up the phone and speak to us to request revisions or additional changes!

Firstly, a brief explanation of SEO, as it’s a bit of a dark art and no-one really understands what it means.

SEO or “Search Engine Optimization” means improving your website’s appearance on Search Engines such as Bing or Google.
Google is simply a search engine that shows a list of websites depending on what keywords the user searches for.

Google ranks the results depending on gazillions of factors such as your website content, your hosting, website age, links leading to your website, where the user searches from, how fast your website is, whether it’s mobile responsive, how many times you have been shared on social media, lots more….

Manage your expectations in terms of time, Google is a large beast and moves slowly so changes to your site can take months to come to fruition…
That being said there are some quick wins we can do with both on-page SEO and off-page SEO

This means there is no magic button, or activity you can do that will make you rank no 1 on google.

If anyone guarantees you’re website will always be no 1 on Google, they are probably lying, or at the very least exaggerating.

Instead, think of SEO as a collection of lots of different related activities which help you reach new customers in various ways.

We DON’T do short term: we’re not going to take your money and dissapear into the night because we’re more interested in long term relationships than burning through clients.

We will help you develop a solid SEO strategy, and target the right audience and the right keywords the results in real customers, and money in the bank instead of phoney reports and wishy-washy strategy meetings.

Web Works Glasgow will always give you honest advice to help your business grow, by focussing on getting the most bang for your buck, and developing real strategies which will help you reach new customers on nubmer of different fronts.
