Website Design & Development

A professional website gives your business a credible online presence, clearly explains what you offer and makes it easier for potential customers to find information, make an enquiry, purchase a product, make a booking or take the next step.

Guy Designs has been developing websites since 2003, prioritising our clients and their audiences throughout every stage of the project. We create websites that are logical for customers to navigate, helping them find the answers they need and take the next step. Website security and making your site simple to update without extensive training are also central to how we develop every website. After all, you have a business to run.

Responsive Website Design

All websites developed by Guy Designs are fully responsive.

This means your website’s layout adjusts to suit different screen sizes, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and mobile phones. Your customers can access the same website and information across standard devices, while you only have one website to manage and update.

Why We Use WordPress and WPBakery

WordPress has been our chosen website platform for more than fifteen years because of its flexibility, strong security foundations and ability to support a website developed around the individual needs of your business, rather than restricting it to the standard features of a closed website platform.

Your website is not locked to a particular hosting service. It can be hosted with any compatible provider and expanded with new pages or additional functionality as your requirements change.

We combine WordPress with WPBakery, an established page builder that provides a visual and straightforward way to manage page content. Page layouts, text, images, buttons, columns and other elements can be edited, moved or duplicated without needing to understand website code. This allows members of your staff to update the website with minimal training.

We continually evaluate new technology, website platforms and supporting software against a range of criteria, with security and usability among our highest priorities. WordPress and WPBakery continue to meet our requirements, providing the flexibility, control and ease of use we want for our clients, however we do use other CMS platforms and page builders such as Elementor or Divi where better suited to particular projects.

Our aim is to produce a website that provides a positive experience for your customers and that you can confidently update without extensive technical knowledge or training.

Functionality to Suit Your Website

WordPress can support a wide range of additional features and functionality, depending on the needs of your business and your customers.

Live Chat and Social Media

Your website can include social media and video streaming integration, social sharing options, live chat and connections with selected messaging or chatbot services where suitable.

Events and Bookings

Your website can support event calendars, ticket sales and bookings for services, accommodation, tours, courses or appointments. External booking and payment systems can also be connected where appropriate.

News, Articles and Resources

WordPress makes it easy to add news, articles, tips, resources and other regularly updated content, helping you keep customers informed and continue developing the website over time.

Ecommerce and Online Payments

Using WooCommerce, your website can sell simple or variable products, manage stock and accept online payments. Additional ecommerce functionality can also be incorporated depending on your requirements.

Other specialised functionality can also be incorporated depending on the requirements of your project.
