One of the questions we often hear is why do we recommend and build bespoke web design, rather than use a build-it-yourself offering like Squarespace, or a pre-built CMS or framework like WordPress?
We admit, there is a place for these templates and self-build sites. If you're on a strict budget and don't have the skill set to design and build your own website they can be a quick and easy way to get online.
Here at Arise, we think it's much better to give clients a tailored solution to fit their needs and aims. Here's why we think bespoke web design is best...
Bespoke web design is a term that is used to describe the process of designing and building a website completely from scratch, specially created for a particular client or purpose to specific requirements.
An out-of-the-box solution will often be the answer to a very generic problem. Generally speaking, they're set up for a page with a few static pages and a contact form, or as a blog. For most clients we meet, the site they want rarely fits that mould and they need a bit more.
Bespoke websites enable us to build something truly custom to meet each and every need of our clients and include every feature that'll benefit their business.
We're confident in the knowledge that when our client asks for something, we can do it.
Bespoke builds give us the flexibility to achieve complicated, clever and often very specific requirements with websites. Whether that features, or a custom layout, we can do it!
Not only this, but we have full control over that site. We're able to tweak and optimise to ensure each and every page is fast, usable and fit for purpose.
Going bespoke helps us to integrate with necessary systems too. For example, when we're developing a bespoke hotel website, we can integrate seamlessly with booking engines and reservation systems for a smooth user journey!
So often you see websites that look the same, and you can tell the platform it's been made on at a glance.
Standing out from the competition is key, so we love to unleash creativity, remove boundaries, and create truly unique bespoke web designs and layouts.
Because we've spent time building a site, it means we know it inside out. If you need a problem fixing, we know where to look, and we don't have to wait for automated support departments to respond first!
Because of the extra involvement and due to the sites being completely bespoke, you can expect to pay a little more for a bespoke site. The process is customised from start to finish and therefore takes a little longer than normal web design and development and this is reflected in the final price of a bespoke site.
Often with out-of-the-box websites, you're left on your own to set it up. With bespoke web design, you gain the invaluable experience of a friendly web professional who's there to advise you on everything from copy, to design, to SEO.
So that's why we love creating custom websites. We love the level of craftsmanship and flexibility it affords us, and you can still crack on and edit your site content to your heart's content once we're finished with it!
