WordPress Web Design

At Orange Moon, we're not just website builders; we're passionate about crafting online experiences that make a real impact. With over 10 years of experience in the industry, we've honed our skills and expertise to deliver exceptional results for our clients.

Our WordPress website design process focuses on creating a site that's both beautiful and effective. We start by understanding your needs and goals, then move on to designing a custom layout that reflects your brand. Next, we develop the site using WordPress, ensuring it's user-friendly and optimised for search engines. Throughout the process, we keep you informed and involved, gathering your feedback to ensure the final website exceeds your expectations. Finally, we launch your site and can provide ongoing support to ensure its continued success.

While we can't guarantee the #1 spot on Google (nobody ethically can!), we're committed to giving your website the best possible chance of ranking high. SEO is a complex and ever-evolving process. Ultimately, our goal is to improve your website's visibility, drive organic traffic, and help you achieve your business objectives.

We take website security and backups very seriously. Here's how we protect your WordPress website:

Minimal Plugin Usage: We believe in keeping things lean and secure. We only use essential, reputable plugins to minimise vulnerabilities and potential conflicts.

Strong Passwords and User Roles: We enforce strong password policies and set appropriate user roles to limit access to sensitive areas of your website.

Secure Hosting Environment: We work with hosting providers that prioritise security measures like firewalls and intrusion detection.

Automated Backups: We implement automated backup solutions to ensure your website's files and database are regularly backed up and can be easily restored if needed.

The timeline for building a website really depends on the complexity and scope of your project.

Simple websites (basic information, a few pages) can often be launched within a few days.

More complex websites (blogs, multiple features, custom design) you can expect a timeframe of 3-8 weeks.

E-commerce websites (online stores, product catalogs, payment integration) typically take 8 weeks or more.

To get a more precise estimate, it's best to get in touch so we can discuss your specific needs.

Thinking about the costs of a website can feel like quite a challenge, but it doesn't have to be confusing. Here's a breakdown of the typical expenses involved:

1. Domain Name: This is your website's address on the internet (e.g. www.yourbusiness.com). Think of it like your online street address. Domain names usually cost around £10-£20 per year.

2. Hosting: This is like renting space on a powerful computer (a server) that stores your website's files and makes it accessible to visitors 24/7. Hosting costs vary depending on your needs, but you can expect to pay anywhere from £15 to £50+ per month.

3. Website Design and Development: This depends on the scope of your project. Websites start at £500 for a simple landing page. For a standard business website with 5-8 pages, it's usually between £1,000 - £3,000. That said, larger, more complex websites can be £10,000+.

We're happy to handle all of this for you, from securing your domain name and setting up reliable hosting to designing and developing a website that aligns with your needs. We can even maintain your website with ongoing updates, security checks, and content management.
