Site audit and growth map
We review your current site, analytics and traffic sources, then write a growth map that shows which pages matter most, where visitors drop off and what the new design has to fix first.
Websites planned around what your buyers need to see before they get in touch.

Website design is the process of planning the structure, content hierarchy, visual layout and interaction patterns of a website so visitors can understand an offer and act on it. It covers information architecture, page layouts, typography, color, imagery and responsive behavior across screen sizes, and it usually comes before development turns the design into working code.
We treat a website as the place where your marketing either pays off or leaks. Every project starts with a free 20-minute strategy call and a written growth map that audits your current site and the channels feeding it, so the design brief is based on where visitors actually come from and where they drop off. From there we write the page structure, draft the key messaging, and design every template in Figma at desktop and mobile widths before any code is written. You review real layouts with real copy, not lorem ipsum. Because our design and marketing people sit in the same team, the pages are built with tracking in mind: form starts, call bookings, scroll depth and the paths people take to a conversion. After launch, those numbers tell us what to change first, and the two weeks of included support cover the fixes that early data surfaces.
We review your current site, analytics and traffic sources, then write a growth map that shows which pages matter most, where visitors drop off and what the new design has to fix first.
A clear sitemap and a section-by-section outline for each key page, so navigation, content order and calls to action are agreed before anyone spends time on visual design.
We draft headlines, value statements and section copy for core pages, or edit what you already have, so the design is shaped around the words buyers read rather than placeholder text.
Full page designs for desktop and mobile in Figma, including navigation, forms, footers and states like hover and error, laid out on a consistent grid your developers can follow.
Buttons, cards, testimonials, pricing tables and content blocks designed as a shared set, so your team can build new pages later without the site slowly drifting out of shape.
A list of the events worth measuring, from form submissions to call bookings and key clicks, so the site launches with data you can act on instead of guesswork about what works.
A free 20-minute call to understand your offer, buyers and goals, followed by a written growth map that audits your site and marketing channels and recommends what the redesign should prioritize.
We agree the sitemap, then wireframe the most important pages in grayscale so you can judge layout, content order and calls to action without being distracted by colors or photos.
We apply your brand to the approved wireframes, design every template at desktop and mobile widths, and run review rounds with you until the pages read clearly and feel right.
We hand the files to our developers or yours, check the build against the designs, work through the launch checklist, and support the site for two weeks after it goes live.
What changes in the work depending on the market you sell into.
For software companies, website design has to explain a product quickly, route visitors to a demo or trial, and give technical buyers the depth they look for on pricing, integrations and security pages.
Financial firms need sites that build trust within seconds, keep required disclosures readable rather than hidden, and guide prospects through calculators or applications without confusing them or creating compliance problems.
Healthcare websites must help patients find services, locations and booking fast, stay readable for older visitors, and keep forms and third-party scripts consistent with the privacy rules your practice follows.
Retail websites need clear category paths, product pages that answer sizing and shipping questions, and a checkout with as few steps as possible, especially for mobile shoppers during seasonal peaks.
Real estate websites live on listings, so the design has to make search, filters, photos and maps easy to use on a phone, and turn browsing into viewing requests or agent contact.
Hotels, restaurants and venues need designs that show the experience through strong photography, surface booking and reservation options on every page, and adapt quickly to seasonal menus, events and offers.
Manufacturers need sites that organize large catalogs, specifications and certifications so engineers and buyers can find exact details, request quotes easily, and trust the company across long purchasing cycles.
Logistics sites have to explain coverage, capabilities and service levels at a glance, support quote requests with the right shipment details, and give existing customers quick access to tracking and portals.
Life sciences companies need sites that present research, pipelines and data credibly to investors, partners and recruits, while keeping regulated claims accurate and scientific content understandable to non-specialists.
Schools and course providers need designs that serve prospective students, parents and staff separately, make programs and fees easy to compare, and handle heavy traffic around enrollment deadlines.
Publishers and media brands need layouts that make content easy to scan and share, give ads and subscription prompts a place without ruining reading, and keep pages fast under traffic spikes.
Energy companies often sell to procurement teams and homeowners at once, so the design needs separate paths, clear project evidence, and plain explanations of incentives, installation steps and long-term savings.
Public sector websites must meet accessibility requirements, present dense information in plain language, and help residents complete common tasks like applications or payments without needing to call an office.
Straight answers to what founders ask us before starting.
Most small business website design projects with us start around $4,500 for a focused site and rise with the number of templates and copy needed. A single landing page costs less, while a larger site with a brand system usually falls in the $15k–$40k band. We fix the price in writing after the free strategy call, once scope is clear.
A landing page typically takes one to two weeks, and a full website with a brand system takes about four to six weeks. The biggest factor is usually content: sites move fastest when copy and approvals arrive on time. We share a week-by-week schedule at kickoff so you know when each review is due and when the site launches.
Website design decides what the site looks like, how it is structured and how people move through it, while development turns those designs into working code. Design produces Figma files, layouts and a component library; development produces the live site, CMS and integrations. We can do both, or hand polished design files to your in-house developers.
No, you do not have to write it yourself, though your input is essential. We draft headlines and core page copy from the strategy call and your existing material, then refine it with you. If you already have strong copy, we edit it to fit the layouts. Either way, we design with real words rather than placeholder text.
Yes. Every page is designed at both desktop and mobile widths in Figma, not squeezed down afterward. We decide early how navigation, forms, tables and long sections behave on small screens, because for many businesses mobile visitors are the majority. The build is then checked on real devices during QA before launch.
We measure a redesign by the actions that matter to your business, such as form submissions, booked calls or purchases, compared against your baseline. Before launch we set up tracking for those events. After launch we review the numbers with you, and because marketing sits in the same team, we can adjust pages based on real behavior.
