How long does it take to design a website?

Website design timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. A simple website with a few pages may take less than a week or so, while a larger e-commerce site or a custom-built platform can take much longer, with some complex eCommerce projects taking a few months to complete. We strive for excellence and do not rush in our consultation, development, and testing phases.

Factors that affect timelines include content availability, design revisions, and additional functionality requests. We strive to stick to a clear timeline at the start of the project and keep you updated throughout the process. But we also aim to under promise and overdeliver in everything we do.

Please also bear in mind that the biggest factor in design project delays is client input or feedback. It is vital we take a collective approach to creating you a new website so it truly performs from a customer perspective and from an investment perspective.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes. If your current website is outdated, slow, or does not convert visitors effectively, we can redesign it with a modern, optimised layout that truly turns visitors into leads.

We will build your website on a temporary domain and work collaboratively with you each step of the way to ensure your new website solves your current issues. You will experience less than an hour’s downtime when the website is made live.

Our website redesign service includes:

  • A refreshed, professional design that aligns with your brand
  • Reports will be run before and after, showing an improved site speed and performance.
  • We build mobile-first to ensure it’s fit for purpose.
  • Reports will show SEO enhancements which aim to boost rankings.
  • Integration of new features based on your business’s needs.
  • A website redesign can improve user experience, increase conversions, and enhance your brand’s online presence.

Do you offer SEO with your web design in Gateshead?

Yes. We design every website with SEO best practices in mind to enhance search engine rankings. Our SEO & UX first approach to website design has a proven track record of delivering for 100 of clients we have worked with.

Some key factors we focus on are:

· Fast page load speeds enhance the user experience and ranking potential.

· Mobile first design because that reflects both real life use and what google prefers.

· Structured URLs and metadata to help search engines index your pages correctly

· Extensive Keyword research is conducted before a structure is planned to ensure keyword-friendly content; this will help with SERPs.

· For on-going SEO, we offer a mix of on-page and off-page SEO services with a fantastic track record of offering great returns on investment.

On-page SEO is the practice of optimising your website to ensure its linking structure, meta data, site speed, UX, and content is optimised to support visibility in search results.

Off-page SEO refers to activities that happen off your website but point towards it via links, citations, social media, press releases, reviews, etc.

Cat Spellman - Washington Community Food Project

Skin Clinic Website Design and SEO

I did quite a bit of research before deciding on Element Media - the key thing was how helpful they were even before I had decided to go with them and the fact that they had considerable experience in my industry. Right from the get-go, I knew I was in good hands. I am not technical and both Michael and Dawn were great at explaining things and responding to my requests. I am delighted with the finished product and continued support package.

Michael is brilliant; he is so helpful, and made the whole thing so easy by sending me links to images, etc., to save me time. I brought my website across to Michael, but the changes he suggested are so much better than what I had before and I trust him 100% to manage it well for me!

Aesthetics Clinic Website Design and SEO

I've been working with Michael from the start of my business some six years ago. He has helped me through brand design, business support, web design and even designed my very first logo before then going through a rebrand with me. He always goes above and beyond, and one thing that always sticks out for me is when I ask my clients how they found me, they always tell me how impressed and professional my website is, and that was one of the main deciding factors they booked. Michael is great at providing content for my website and suggesting ways to help promote my business. The seo work he provides keeps me showing on the first page of Google organically so I’m very happy with all the work Michael has done for me. Would not trust anyone else. Thank you Michael
