Here’s why you need a custom / bespoke website  design.

With the internet market expanding at the highest rate since the pandemic, many businesses are realizing that they are only as flexible and scalable as their website.

With millions of customers in the UK preferring online shopping to browsing on the high street, it’s critical to step up your online game and ensure you’re not missing out by relying on a pre-packaged solution. Therefore, with this in mind, why should you go with a custom website?

Prioritize what’s important to your business.

When you’re starting from scratch with a bespoke website, it can be difficult to put pen to paper to figure out what you need. The possibilities are unlimited, and Staxo can assist you through the process from initial concept to live deployment!

When deciding on the goals and priorities for your new website, we recommend asking yourself the following questions to help you get started:

• Who are my users, and what are their requirements?
• What are the most popular portions of my present website (as determined by Google analytics)?
• What websites do I visit on a daily basis that I find useful, helpful, and simple to use, and are any of my competitors’ websites similar?
• What is my best-selling product/service, and what do my customers frequently inquire about, either online or over the phone?
• What are the five things I would change about my present website if I could?

Working with a Specialist Web Design Agency will provide you with years of coding and website process management skills. Web design and development teams will be able to analyze the pain points of your current website as well as the needs of your users to give advice on how to address these.

With the proper technical knowledge, you’ll acquire vital insight into how to build your next website, fulfill the demands of your clients, upsell, and accomplish your online goals to ensure your future site is lucrative!

Up your SEO Game

SEO is critical for all websites; learning how to play the game (and win!) with Google is critical for attracting organic visitors to your site and benefiting from the seemingly never-ending battle with each algorithm change.

Understanding how to execute and capitalize on SEO best practices is critical for staying one step ahead of the competition.

You may anticipate these steps and incorporate crucial features in your website’s backend that allow you to improve your content as much as feasible with a custom-built website. Joomla has various pre-built SEO measures that allow you to add keywords and provide meta descriptions to your content, but WordPress’ capabilities can be extended with the Yoast SEO plugin.

Many clients choose to incorporate custom areas into the backend of their new site before launch to increase SEO value, particularly for service-based locations that benefit from competing for keywords and targeting users based on various search criteria, which can be accomplished by incorporating custom development objects such as geo-location, variable URLs, and product prices.

Bespoke Websites open up a whole new level of design possibilities.

When it comes to developing an online brand presence, going custom is always a good idea; by avoiding off-the-shelf solutions and instead hiring a design professional, you will benefit from years of technical knowledge as well as industry-specific creative input.

Designers not only assist you in visualizing the appearance of your website, but they are also critical in determining what your site requires to fulfill its purpose to your users; their unique insight means that they can recommend an arsenal of responsive and functional solutions to get your website meeting your technical goals and redefining your customers’ experience.

Over the past decade, Staxo has been assisting customers in learning what is crucial for their brand and users. All of our web designers understand user experience (UX) and conversion, allowing you to make informed decisions about the structure and appearance of your site.
