Web development that works as hard as you do.
Your website is the online equivalent of a first impression for your business. Before clients reach out, visit, or ask for information, they will probably browse your business on the web. If your site is slow, confusing, or feels abandoned since 2015, that first impression could lead to lost sales.
We build fast and easy to use websites that help our clients grow their business. We know one sise never fits all, and that is why we offer quality service and build websites based on what we learn about your business, not Jargon Filled templates.
Web Development – what does it mean?
Building a website involves many layers and stages and ultimately, web development encapsulates the entire process. This includes the selection of the appropriate platform, finishing touches of the site and user experience, and optimisation of the site for a fast load experience and higher ranking in search results.
Websites can seem as if they are a couple of pages with a few pictures, but there are many complex processes involved in order to have a website that is a simple and easy.
Why is this so important for small business?
Mistakes can be very costly for businesses with little to no wiggle room in their budget.
Getting your web page design right the first time with a good foundation saves you time and money.
It’s also a good financial decision to view your website as an asset rather than a cost. A solid website runs on your behalf 24/7 bringing leads and converted sales while you sleep.
- A good website builds trust with your potential customers, even before you have the opportunity to communicate with them.
- It brings potential customers to your website.
- A good website allows you to show off your products and services, and your reputation.
- A great website answers your customers’ questions.
How we work at Sunneo
Listening to our clients is how we ensure we build what our clients actually need. We’re always available to answer your questions, big or small, because there are no such things when you build your own website!
Listening allows us to structure the website appropriately, and helps us to select the right tool and foundation for your business. We aim to build websites that are easy to manage from the start, and we consider speed, accessibility and search visibility as an integral part of our build and not an afterthought.
Topics We Cover
Web development touches on many things, so to make it more clear-cut, here are the topics that small business clients most often ask about.
Go through the guides below for a better understanding of each section:
- Website Costs & Quotes — how to determine what you should pay, and the process for getting a quote
- Freelancer vs Agency vs In-House — the various options for having a website created
- CMS & Platform Choice — the pros and cons of WordPress, Shopify, and custom builds
- Site Speed & Core Web Vitals — the new focus on site speed
- Website Accessibility (WCAG) — making your site accessible to all users
- Local SEO for Small Businesses — getting found by customers in your local area
It is all well and good having a lovely-looking site…
…however, the site must work. It must load quickly and contain user-friendly navigation with the goal of converting visitors to customers. This is where many do-it-yourself website builds lack, and where working with professionals who do this for a living make a huge difference.
We incorporate everything mentioned to help your site achieve all of this from the ground up. Whether you are creating your first website or replacing one that is out of date, we’re here to guide you through it.
Mobile-friendly by default
A desktop-only website is no longer acceptable, as mobile web browsing accounts for nearly half of website visits in the UK and is the only way users can access your content.
Every website we make looks great on mobile and tablets. For us, responsive design takes center stage over jamming a site onto a smaller screen.
To check, go grab your mobile and load your site. If it is text and buttons you can’t read or understand, or tap space where they should be overlapping, we are betting this is costing you leads.
Ongoing support, after the build.
A site is never ‘done.’ Your business will change, and with your new offerings, the tech for websites will change, too. We don’t abandon you after deployment. We will still be here for the support your site and your business will need.
Even months, or years later – do not hesitate to ask for our support with changes or updates you’d like to make. We will help, big or small.
Working with small businesses across the UK.
We have empathy for small business owners. And we have a reason to—we work with them daily. Budgets are not what they wish they could be. Time is not plentiful. A business owner should not have to immerse themselves in web design and engineering just because the website is the face of your business.
That is our job.
We do the technical, understand the design, and give small business owners a website to be proud of, without the headache of coding or jargon.
