Stand Out Online With A Professional Website, Online store, Or Portfolio.

With Shydog Creative you can turn any idea into a reality. Every website or online store we build comes with a suite of integrated build-in SEO features and useful guides that help maximise prominence among search results. Learn where your website traffic is coming from, what your visitors are looking for, and how they’re interacting with your content or products through our in-depth Analytics tools that will be built in to your site..

Designing for mobile is a must. Mobile users spend twice as much time on the Internet as desktop users. They aren’t just purchasing from their phone. They’re out in the world, on 3G networks, researching products and looking for deals. Recently Google rolled out its Speed Update to give faster mobile sites better SEO rankings.

Websites that load quickly and communicate swiftly are satisfying. They have lower bounce rates, a higher number of page views, and higher rates of conversions than their slower counterparts. Speed has a direct effect on a business’ bottom line, so simplicity will be more important than ever.

Simplicity is achieved by removing elements a site doesn’t need. As the world gets more crowded with information, simplicity stands out. Simple sites are often smaller, faster-loading, and offer a streamlined user experience.

By delivering what the user needs and nothing more, a simple site can instill confidence, drive conversions, and look good.

Simplicity comes in many forms. Minimalism, flat design, pageless design, and brutalism are some of the ways simplicity will speed up sites in 2024.

Web Design FAQs

• How does the process work?

The best course of action if you are thinking of having a website created is to book a 15-30 minute consultation with us.

Once booked we will send you a short questionnaire so we know what we are discussing regarding your project and your vision. We will then be able to advise on the best package for you or even build you a bespoke package more suited to your requirements.

We can discuss timescales and other essential parts of the project and give you more information on what we can do. If you decide to book us then we will put an accurate plan of action in place and set up a client account where we can exchange information as the project progresses.

• How will the pricing structure work? What do I pay up front?

After the initial consultation we will also send an accurate quote. If you decide we are a good fit for you then we will set up a client account and send out a standard website design contract. We will also ask you for 25% deposit to initiate the project and the remainder will be payable at the handover stage.

How long will my website take from start to finish?

There is no set answer to this as each project is entirely different and dependent on the content you have available and the completion of client tasks. We would have gone through a rough timescale completion for you during the consultation phase and this will be adhered to providing the client also meets the tasks/ review deadlines.

Is Copy Writing included?

Yes we can include the copywriting as part of the website. The information and copy for your new website will need to be provided by the client. Obviously you as the client will know more about your sector and the message and style of delivery that you want to convey. We will ask you for headlines and copy however we will be on hand to advise and assist and our professional copywriters can re-write your rough copies in a professional website standard to save you time.

Are Images included?

A website can be made or broken by the standard and quality of images. We will use whatever imagery you want to provide however if you want to showcase your business / products then we highly recommend professional high resolution photography. We can help with this if you do not want to source your own.

Alternatively if your website requires generic industry specific images then we will provide high resolution professional images that have commercial copyright included as part of the website package.

Will you show me how to use my site?

On completion and sign-off of your website we will have an official handover where we will show you the admin back-end of the website and show you how to make basic edits and updates. As an alternative we also have a subscription / maintenance based package where we can manage the site and carry out all of your updates and site maintenance.
