I hunted around for a long time for an SEO agency to help improve our standing with Google and discovered after receiving pitches from a lot of different agencies that this space has a lot of snake oil salesmen. In the end I am delighted to have settled on Gloop earlier this year, who have actually delivered on the promises … and who are incredibly responsive to my many annoying questions

The business has prospered since launch and has added significantly to the product offerings and now includes logo, business card and stationery design.

I have been really pleased with the service from Allan MacDougall of Activ Web Design. He met me at my house in the evening, which fitted around my job. Thankfully, he didn’t talk in technological jargon and he made comparisons with things I already know. He designed and set up my website, designed my logo and my business cards. It was actually very nice to get it all from the same person because then it’s a lot more consistent and I didn’t have to hunt around. Also, many designers charge hourly and you can never tell how much it will cost, whereas with Allan it’s a fixed price. As a start-up, I had a limited and final budget, so the fixed price gave me peace of mind. More importantly, in a way, is customer service. I am an email person and this really worked for me as Allan always responded promptly when I had any questions or requests, and nothing was too much trouble. I am now setting up a Facebook business page which Allan will also do as he has a lot of knowledge in this area. He was recommended to me by my accountant (who knows him from a networking group) and by the person I used for help with HR (who’s a customer of Allan). And if you are looking for someone for a website, designing business cards/logos, or with social media then I can wholeheartedly recommend him.

Blue Web started business in 2011 and has grown by consistently delivering quality websites and supporting customers. The difference with Blue Web is that you get personal support and the ability to talk with someone with business and web design experience that speaks plain English and not technospeak! Blue Web is able to deliver many of the services of larger digital agencies, but without the price tag.
Janette Hornby
Blue Web listened carefully to my design brief and gave me just what I wanted - a professional looking website for a small business. It was delivered on time and on price. The few tweaks that I requested post build were swiftly accommodated. I have also received good customer support during my first year as well as one to one training on setting up peripheral services such as email and Mailchimp.
It's so great for me to have somebody on hand to deal with all the techy stuff that I just don't understand! That saves me hours of wasted time.

SpiderSpider can design a website, a logo, and some print for you to compliment your existing business, or to accompany the start up of your new enterprise. All of our sites are bespoke. A good website is more than just pretty pictures and corporate 'off the shelf' text. We don't just put your pictures and text into a template we built for somebody else. We won't blind you with jargon or charge you too much .... All our clients are now our friends .... and we want them to stay like that .. If you have a logo and some company identity already, we can work with that. If you haven't, we can start from scratch and design a logo, website, stationery, signage for you .... the lot .... we normally present you with a range of logos and you choose the one you like. Check out our site for testimonials from satisfied clients.
There are 2 main factors which define a good website. Design and functionality.
Design is a very abstract and subjective element, which is why we ask clients to go through a lot of existing sites with us first and let us know what type of style they are after. We don't just do one design and then say 'that's it ... take it or leave it'. However having said that, legibility is very important, and design should never get in the way of customers being able to understand the message you are trying to put over. So there are various conventions in design which should be incorporated.
Functionality is all about customers finding what they want as soon as possible. The average viewers attention span on a website is just a few seconds to start with. If a viewer cannot find the product or information quickly they will simply go away and not come back.
To achieve this, the vary nature of your business or product needs to be analysed from the point of view of a new customer and someone who doesn't even begin to understand what your service is all about. There's no point in saying ' everyone knows what we do!' ..... do you want new customers or not?
Then the site needs to be constructed so that new customers, and people who do know your type of business, can navigate quickly through the site, and find what they want using easily recognisable button categories and links - don't try to be different just for the sake of it, you'll just annoy people and they will leave.
Just remember the basic advertising mantra ' outline the problem then present yourself as the solution'.
- Nature of the business.
- Market
- Size of business
- Location
- No of employees
- Website budget thoughts
- Time scale to completion of project
- Do you have a domain name already?
- Do you have a logo?
- What type of design are you requiring. Please go through a selection of websites and let us know the type of style you like.
Websites are a fascinating concept, you start with a blank screen of nothing more than electrons, and then after a lot of hard fiddly work, you produce an entity which is visible instantly around the world, and helps to promote products or services which are also made up of electrons, protons and neutrons but are very much more solid! Sorry to seem bit Geeky but we now take for granted systems which for the last 2 million years would have seemed impossible.
Also any job which is creative, is always much more satisfying than a routine number crunching / paper pushing / cog in a huge wheel. With website design there are quite a few satisfaction points. For example getting the job to start with, overcoming computer issues and design issues, getting positive feedback from clients, getting a good listing on Google, and getting paid!!
In most routine jobs you are probably taken for granted by your employer, overworked, underpaid and stressed out all the time! The only satisfaction point is getting your salary at the end of the month, of in the case of 'corporate man' the spec of your next company car (has it got LED headlights ... whoopee!)
Having your own business means that you can't be given the sack, or be made redundant, and you can run your life as you wish, not due to someone else's desires or incompetence.
Starting your own business can be risky, but as long as you keep your financial borrowing down to a safe level, and grow 'organically' i.e. slowly grow your business as your client base increases, you should be OK. Never have 'all your eggs' in one basket i.e. don't make your business dependent on just one client. A good business model is to have a lot of clients paying you modest amounts of money on a regular basis. These clients are unlikely to stop paying you because it's not a huge dent in their cash flow, and they won't all desert you and go to another supplier all at once!
Starting with the BBC, I had worked in the TV production and multi media business for many years, principally in the corporate area, but also including broadcast programmes.
I eventually decided to move away from the video business and at the time website design was a natural progression from video, and it was possible to start a business with a modest amount of finance, and with low risk. In fact websites were starting to replace the 'corporate video' as a principal marketing format for national and international marketing. At the time however, it was not possible to have good quality video on websites, the download speed was too slow.
Now of course the 'corporate video' is back in fashion because broadband has made video streaming possible and very popular. So clients can have a website and a video combined, the best of both worlds.
However, one word of warning, if you want to start your own business, check out the opposition first. The Internet is largely price-driven and you MUST be competitive. Customers trawl round for the best deal, unless you've got a product which is unique (and even then the Chinese will copy it quite quickly!) you must be better and cheaper to start with.
As you can see from the above information, I've got a lot of experience in the visual media, and in business, as well as being able to design websites.
I won't just fob you off with a load of techno-jargon, and promise you the earth .... e.g. a page one listing on Google within a week (not possible unless you pay Google loads of cash!)
I will go through your business model with a fine tooth comb, and then work out a starting strategy, before designing anything. I'm not going to design a website and charge you money, knowing that you are bound to fail, because you don't have the right product or business plan.
One utterly critical issue nowadays is marketing. There's no advantage in having a great website unless you get it in front of your customers. Even a good listing on Google is not necessarily a route to success. There's so much 'targeted marketing' now i.e. ads being fired at prospective customers based on accumulated data, that people are 'buying stuff' before they've even bothered to search for it.
So you must 'hang your hook' in as many places as possible on the Internet to catch passing traffic, plus use some 'old fashioned' marketing methods like flyers - great for small local start-ups. Just having a few ads, or exposure in a few places is not enough. You need to get exposure in as many places as possible, and don't rely too much on social media - it's great if your business is connected to social activities like entertainment, clubs, wine bars, foodies, specialist fashion etc, but if you are 'twin cam inverted widget maker' Twitter and Facebook are largely useless.
In fact Twitter's share price dropped to an all time low in 2017, and has only risen up to about 50% of it's original listing price, and the only reason that it seems important is due to the fact that TV journalists mention it the whole time, and why do they do that? ... because they are too bone idle to do any proper journalism, and prefer to grab paragraphs off Twitter!
So if you contact me you will get an unbiased, non techno-jargon response, with some very useful business advice, and of course a great website! Simples! to quote a well known Meercat.
How much is Web Design?
How much does web design cost? This is something that can be incredibly difficult to put a figure on due to the nature of the service. There are also differences based on whether you are looking to work with a freelancer or a web design agency, and also whether you need a large, complicated site or something more simple.
We can help you to connect with the right designer to suit your needs. A clear idea of what you need, and how many pages and features are required, will be influential when it comes to pricing. This will help you to get an accurate quote for web design.

Web Designer vs Web Developer - What’s the Difference?
These two terms may seem like they are used interchangeably but they are two different things. A designer will be focused on the visual and creating a UI to suit the user, whereas a web developer is usually focused on the actual core of the website, making it function and using coding to enable it to do what it is supposed to.
When working with a web designer, if you want the whole package of a fully finished and functioning website, check that this is something they can offer before you employ their services. Make sure you have understood if they are offering web design or development, or both.

Types of Web Design?
Responsive - A responsive web page design means that the site is viewable on a number of devices. The design automatically sizes to the screen and the designer doesn’t need to make formats for different devices and desktops.
Liquid or Fluid - This is a style of design that will shrink or stretch to the shape of the browser, and the page will look enlarged or shrunk, rather than items being rearranged. The size of the items in the design alter in relation to one another depending on the browser being used.
Fixed design - Fixed pages do not alter according to the browser automatically. On some devices such as tablets this can make it harder to see the content as you need to scroll around the page or pinch the screen in order to zoom in on sections. Though it is sometimes essential, fixed design is becoming less common.

How do I check a Web Designer’s credentials?
Whether you are working with a freelancer or a big agency, they will have a portfolio for you to view. This allows you to see other, similar projects they have worked on and decide if they have the skills you need.
There are a number of web design certifications and they may be happy to share any they have attained, but there isn’t one standardized industry body.
If you are worried about a designer’s credentials you can also check their feedback from other clients, which you can view on their Bark profile.

Web Design freelancer vs agency?
Should you work with a freelancer or an agency? This is one of the decisions you need to make when looking to plan a web design project.
Working with a freelance Web Designer
This may be an option that can save you money. Freelancers are often able to charge less as they don’t have the same overheads as an agency.
Working with a Web Design agency
Web design agencies may have a bigger set of skills to draw upon than a freelancer as they will usually have a number of staff and designers working for them. They may also be able to show you a bigger portfolio, but you can expect to pay more when using an agency.

Can I get Web Design services online?
Definitely! One of the advantages of hiring a web designer is that they are able to provide services to their clients from any location. However, if your website is for a local audience, then you might want to hire someone nearby rather than further afield, so that they better understand your target market.
