Website Design, Development & Build
Amanda Design provides freelance website design and development in Essex, offering a tailored service to suit your business, budget and objectives. From initial design concepts through to website build and launch, each site is created individually rather than using an off-the-shelf solution.
Website Design
With a strong graphic design background, the process begins with website design visuals so you can see how your site will look before development starts. This allows changes to be made at an early stage, helping to keep the project efficient and cost-effective.
Once the design is approved, the website is developed on a password-protected test site. You can review progress throughout the build, provide feedback and see how the site is developing before it goes live.
YOOtheme Expert Pro Website Design
As a YOOtheme Pro expert, I use the page builder to create flexible, responsive and professionally designed websites for WordPress. For selected WordPress website projects.
YOOtheme Pro allows custom page layouts, typography, colours, spacing and content elements to be styled consistently throughout the site. This helps create a polished, bespoke appearance while keeping the website straightforward to manage and update.
As part of my freelance web design and development, YOOtheme Pro can be used for new website builds, redesigns and ongoing website development, giving businesses a flexible alternative to standard off-the-shelf templates.
SEO
SEO is most effective when considered from the beginning of a website project. Amanda Design offers start-up SEO services including site verification, XML sitemaps, page titles, meta descriptions, focus keywords and basic on-page optimisation.
SEO support can also include website traffic and ranking reports, helping you monitor how visitors are finding and using your site.
Once complete, your website can either be hosted through Amanda Design or transferred to your preferred hosting provider.
Website Design & Development for Agencies
Amanda Design also provides freelance web design support for agencies. This can include supplying website designs and visual assets for developers to integrate into new or existing websites.
Designs supplied by another designer can also be developed into structured web pages or templates, providing additional support where web development expertise or resources are required.
Direct Client Communication
Working with a freelance designer gives you direct contact throughout the whole website project. From the initial brief and design concepts through to development, SEO and launch, communication remains consistent and straightforward.
Guidance can also be provided on SEO, keywords, analytics and website content, helping your site support your wider marketing and business objectives.
Website Design for Start-Ups
For new businesses, a professional website is an important part of building a strong brand and online presence. Amanda Design offers website design for start-up companies, alongside logo design, stationery and other marketing materials.
Whether you need a simple entry-level website or a more developed online presence, the aim is to create a professional, individual site that gives your business a strong foundation from launch.
