FAQ
How much do you charge for web design?
Not all projects are the same in complexity but we do offer very competitive pricing for small to medium sized business. Our web design and care package pricing can be found below
Why is WordPress used on so many websites?
WordPress has been used on blogging and small websites for many years now. Our journey with WordPress development started in 2010. Back then most “fancy” websites used expensive 3rd party themes that didn’t always perform as advertised. Sadly many so called web designers today are still using outdated technologies and bloated themes to hoodwink clients into an almost endless trap of fees and frustration.
What sets us apart from most other freelance web designers
We are unique in the sense that we offer quality responsive web designs and logo designs, however we can take things a bit further by offering IT solutions for your business like self hosted ticketing systems, cloud file storage and collaboration, VPN and VPS infrastructure and hosting support.
Do you offer SERPS keyword tracking?
Sure, We actually use open source, self hosted tools to monitor web site analytics and keyword performance. By using these tools we keep our overheads down and pass those savings onto you our clients.

dotjuice design process
Rest assured that each project we take on will be meticulously planned and tailored to your unique needs. We don’t like using out of the box themes and invested a lot of time and resources into professional third party tools to make our workflows and your web site as cutting edge as possible. We follow a standard development process for the most part and will in some cases skip some steps depending on the complexity of each project.
1. Consultation
In this phase, we'll ask loads of questions to understand your brand and business. We'll talk about colours and website functionality.
2. Wireframing
This step isn't always necessary but is useful in some cases when specialist page layouts are required.
3. Design
At this point, your website front end is being designed. Complex application functions might not all work at this stage.
4. Develop
In most cases, this happens alongside the design process, but in some cases further programming might be required.
5. Content creation
At this point, your website should be mostly finished and needs to be populated with the correct copy and content.
6. Testing
We test your website speed and optimize any settings to ensure it looks and performs well.
