Web design from Cornwall to London

Posted on 29th August 2023

Whether you are in a small market town or in London, good web design is now a must have if you want to succeed in the 21st Century.

Gone are the days where you could get away with a token online presence. Your audience will now expect a certain minimum level online even if you are a small or medium sized business.

What is a minimum website requirement?

The minimum requirement will vary a lot and will depend on the type of business and what you are trying to achieve with your online presence.

If you are a local business and are primarily targeting a local audience, then you will require a site focused on local information and issues. For example, if you are a local restaurant group, your audience will expect to see menus, opening hours, a booking system, a contact us section and maybe news about special events. The focus is relevant and targeted at your audience.

If you are targeting a wider national audience, then the minimum requirements will be very different. It is likely that you will transact on your website so the minimum requirement will also include Ecommerce, and detailed information about goods and services. You will also need to keep the website up to date with any changes and special offers.

There is also a lot of common areas that all websites now require as a minimum. These include.

  • Useful content written for your target audience
  • A responsive website that presents correctly on all devices including mobile and tablets
  • A website design that loads quicky and that will be received positively by the Google crawlers
  • An uncrowded design that appeals to your visitors
  • A design that includes your brand name, logo, and colours

There are many other aspects of website design which will get picked up during discussions wit your website design partner.
