Responsive Web Design and SEO
How old is your current website?
An affordable, reliable website design service, based in Llandrindod Wells, the ideal solution for businesses in Mid Wales and surrounding areas.
The world of web design moves along very quickly. If your current website is more than a few years old, chances are it is built with a fixed width. However this type of website performs badly on mobile devices as it can’t adapt to fit different screen sizes. The result is a poor user experience, it’s time to change that!
If you have an older website, or need a new website, you need a responsive, mobile friendly website. Quite simply, it’s essential.
Mobile friendly website design is an absolute must for any Mid Wales business that wants to engage site visitors with a modern, up to date website experience.
Problem Solver…
Often, the biggest problems with a website are not the visual appearance, but are related to functionality and usability. Creative Surge has a proven ability to problem solve issues and provide workable and effective solutions.
Unfortunately not all website designers and developers really put in the time and effort to fully meet their clients requirements. Things can look great, but it soon becomes apparent that attention to detail has been lacking.
As with most things, you get what you pay for. By choosing the cheapest price or a DIY website option you will likely end up with a website that underperforms.
Responsive Website Design for Mid Wales businesses
There is much more to a successful website design than just aesthetics. When designing and building a new website, or updating an existing one, it is essential to employ up to date web design methods, attention to detail is needed to build a high level of functionality and user experience across all devices.

All websites are built from a blank canvas
Incorporating sensible SEO techniques to make each website search engine friendly. A well designed site should reinforce your company branding and be an invaluable source of information.
It should be easily updateable and allow room for growth as required. Sites built to incorporate Content Management Systems (CMS) can be perfect if you would like to update your own web content.
All websites designed by Creative Surge are built with a close eye on the details and thorough testing, it is the only way to guarantee optimal functionality.
WordPress Web Design
WordPress is an excellent blogging platform/CMS that can be used to build websites for any purpose. From the client perspective it is easy to use and has all the features needed by anyone who needs to update their own web content. You don’t need to come back to me in the future to make alterations to the content of your site; in contrast if you prefer that I update your site for you that’s fine.
WordPress functionality is further increased by the use of plugins. Virtually any feature and capability required can easily be incorporated into a WordPress website, including e-commerce facilities, appointment booking systems and so on.
WordPress Care Plans and Website Support
If your website is built with WordPress it is critical that the software is kept up to date. This includes the WordPress Core itself and all plugins and themes.
If you don’t have the time or inclination to keep on top of these updates yourself you need one of my WordPress Care Plans. I offer this service as ongoing support for all websites that I design and build; and also to clients who already have websites in place but need someone reliable to provide support and maintenance.
e-commerce Web Design
As mentioned above, WordPress is an excellent platform for your e-commerce website; however depending on your exact requirements it is sometimes more appropriate to use a dedicated e-commerce system.
There are many specialised e-commerce solutions offering all of the features required to sell any type of product to a worldwide customer base. You can be up and running in no time, with the confidence to fully manage your online shop.
e-commerce solutions are available to suit both new and established online sellers.
Search Engine Optimisation
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a vast and highly involved subject on it’s own. With all websites I start with the basics and build in sensible, effective and important SEO from the outset. Following industry standard guidelines I ensure your web design not only looks great but also performs well in search engines.
Ongoing SEO work is the basis of your sites search performance. Regular SEO work will help to maintain and improve your websites search rankings. Most importantly the SEO foundations should be good and laid down at the beginning of any web design project.
How much does it cost?
It’s the most asked question. The costs of designing and building a website can vary greatly. It all depends on the individual requirements, there is no one size fits all approach. A simple, static brochure site with a handful of pages will cost much less to build than a full featured e-commerce solution.
Other than the design and branding aspect of a website build, features and functionality play a big part in the time required to complete the job. For this reason it takes a little time to get to the detail of exactly what a client requires from a website and how it needs to function to fulfil it’s job.
I can usually design and build a website to suit most budgets, regardless of cost every website is created specifically for each client, no generic duplicated, pre-built websites are used.
