Stand out from the crowd with a stunning website that is highly personalised and tailored to your specific website needs.
Discovery
Let’s start by discovering what you really need in a website
When quoting on a website design and build, it’s really important that I have the big picture along with the minor details. This way I can come up with the best solution for you.
That’s why with every new website enquiry, I always start with a project enquiry questionnaire.
Complete the Website Project QuestionnaireThe first steps
- Step 1: Project Enquiry — I’ll ask you to complete the website project questionnaire so I can learn about your business, goals and website requirements.
- Step 2: We Meet — Once I’ve received your questionnaire, we’ll have a chat to cover things in more detail.
- Step 3: The Proposal — I’ll provide a full website proposal with clear specifications, costs and ongoing fees.
- Step 4: Acceptance — Once accepted, I send out my project onboarding document with the next steps.
What’s included
My custom website designs include the following
An original design for your website
We start with a totally blank canvas, as your website will have a unique design. You will be presented with two different design options to choose from and you can request changes to your chosen design.
Once the design is approved by you, we start building the actual website, creating the pages and loading in the content.

I’ll add all of the content you provide for each page or blog post. You will have a fully finished website that’s ready to go live.
Most clients provide the text and I choose how to lay it out so it works well within a web page.
Drag & drop page builder editing
The website will be built using a WordPress page builder. This is a drag and drop editor that’s very easy to use.
When the website is live and handed over to you, doing your own website edits will be much easier.
Responsive design
Right from the get-go, I will make sure the website displays optimally when viewed on a mobile phone or tablet.
All of my custom website builds use layouts that stack and collapse, so a two-column layout becomes a one-column layout on smaller screens.
On-page search engine optimisation
I’ll include on-page search engine optimisation in your proposal as a standard must-have service. After all, what’s the point in having a website if no one can find you online?
This includes things like metadata, SEO plugin setup, alt tags and OG data for social sharing graphics.
Built with WordPress
All custom websites are built using the WordPress content management system. I’ll choose and set up the plugins you need.

The custom website design also includes
Saved layouts and modules
I will save layouts and pre-formatted modules so that when you are updating the site, you can re-use layouts I’ve created from scratch.
Enquiry form
Get email enquiries sent to you via a web form. Generally, most forms have between 5 and 10 data fields. The emails generated are also saved onto the website.
Images and editing
I’ll be working mostly with images you’ve supplied. I can also include some stock photos within the proposal if needed.
I’ll prepare images for the web by resizing and compressing them so they load quickly.
Security
I’ll add and set up a security plugin so your site has some additional protection from intruders.
Tracking codes added
I’ll add whatever tracking codes you need, such as Google Analytics, Facebook pixel or CRM tracking codes like HubSpot.
Clear proposal
Your proposal will specify how many pages and blog posts Web Matters will create as part of the quote, along with any ongoing costs.
