Web Design Agency Somerset | Expert Web Design Company
  • Why do you need a web design agency?

    In today’s digital landscape, establishing a strong online presence is vital for businesses aiming to thrive and expand. Your website often serves as the initial point of contact between your brand and potential customers, making it imperative to create a positive and lasting impression. Priority Pixels comprehends the critical role that a well-crafted website plays in achieving your business goals, and we’re here to articulate why our services are essential.

    Priority Pixels brings a wealth of experience to the table. Our team is composed of skilled designers, developers, and digital marketing experts who have honed their craft through years of dedicated work. We’ve collaborated with a diverse range of businesses across various industries, equipping us with the knowledge and proficiency to deliver tailored web solutions that align with your specific requirements. Our extensive portfolio serves as a testament to our ability to consistently produce outstanding results.

    In an era where users access websites on a multitude of devices, having a responsive design is imperative. Priority Pixels specialises in crafting websites that seamlessly adapt to various screen sizes and devices, ensuring an exceptional user experience. We prioritise user-friendliness, simplifying the navigation process for visitors, enabling them to find information effortlessly, and increasing the likelihood of converting them into loyal customers.

    Your website functions as a virtual storefront for your business, and projecting professionalism is paramount. Priority Pixels takes the time to understand your brand’s unique attributes, values, and objectives. We then translate this understanding into visually captivating designs that not only reflect your brand’s personality but also captivate your target audience, enhancing your brand’s credibility.

  • Project Management

    Like many major investments a website design project can be a lengthy process which covers many different areas. Because we want to ensure everything is covered from the start we will work closely with you to create a project brief that covers all your needs and expectations. Once this brief is in place we will put together a project management plan that outlines everything from goals to deadlines. We aim to make our web design service as collaborative as possible.

    Depending on the size of your business it might be necessary to talk with your business’ stakeholders to understand the overall objectives of the project at a larger scale.

  • User Interface Design

    User interface (UI) design is an important step in web design. But rather than focusing on how the site looks and feels, UI design gets stuck into the underlying tech that really makes your website work well, to maximise the user experience and increases your brands awareness in Somerset.

    If your website isn’t working to the best of its ability and customers can’t find what they need, pages don’t load quickly if at all, or the site is slow and clunky, the chances are they’ll ditch you and move on – and they won’t be coming back.

    A great UI design will help you reach your chosen web goals by successfully fulfilling your customer’s wants and needs – not just once, but time and again. Creating a defined and engaging path throughout your site – so customers can get the information they want and buy, book, or browse quickly – will keep it intuitive, boosting your conversions and amplifying user engagement. And that all adds up to happy customers who will keep coming back. Our web design service aims to create a dynamic and responsive website, so it not only looks great but also performs as good as it looks.

     

  • Performance is Everything

    In a digital world with ever changing technologies and high expectations from the public, website performance is something we take extremely seriously. We continually keep up with the latest technology and updates to ensure our web design service meets the your expectations…and the visitors to your new website.

    A website that looks amazing is worthless if it doesn’t perform as good as it looks. Not only do our team have the ability to create websites that look visually stunning but also ones that perform to the highest of standards. Our team are continually analysing, testing, and fine-tuning all our websites to make sure they perform as good as they look.

    Website performance is judged by both its visitors and search engines. Website speed is one of the many ranking factors Google uses to determine how highly a website ranks on a Search Engine Results Page (SERP). A websites performance is judged on how quickly everything loads, moves, and displays.

    Providing visitors to your site the best experience possible is one of our aims. This ensures they come back often and are likely to share your website. To make this a reality we need to ensure respond and load times are the highest they can possible be. The team at Priority Pixels will review and refine what’s displayed on a web page at any given time.

    We have a number of ways that have been tried and tested to ensure your website reaches optimum performance. Many of these are achieved during the websites build including code optimisation, order of execution, server configuration, and specialised content delivery networks. However we also use a number of industry leading tools and applications including:

    Google Pagespeed

    Google Pagespeed is a tool we use during the early stages of developing your website. It works by anzlyinsing the performance of your website and identifies opportunities to enhance it. By testing the page URL, Pagespeed will highlight potential CSS or Javascript issues, as well as images that need optimising.

    Pingdom

    Pingdom is another performance monitoring tool we use to evaluate how well a website is performing. It provides a much more detailed analysis of your website compared to other tools offering a similar service. Delivering real-user monitoring, page speed testing, server response times, and downtime, Pingdom immediately highlights anything that could be slowing you down.

    Hummingbird

    All our websites are built using WordPress meaning we have access to plug-in’s that are trusted and reliable. Hummingbird is a pro-performance and optimisation tool which is used to help your website run as fast and efficiently as possible. With a plug-in that works to increase your websites loading times, you are more likely to see an increase in traffic to your site and appear higher on SERPs.

    Smush Pro

    One of the biggest opportunities to increase your websites overall performance is by using images that are small in size. However, reducing image sizes manually can be a tedious task. Smush Pro is a plug-in also available in WordPress which scans every image on your website and compresses them quickly. Giving your website a speed boost and more time to focus on other aspects of it.

    YSlow

    YSlow is an open-source extension that sits inside common web browsers to analyse web pages and give its rating on their speed. In sharing best practice advice, it provides suggestions and feedback on where time and performance savings can be made to improve page load times.

  • Content Management Solutions

    Having a professionally built website is great but what happens when you need to update your website’s content? With a content management system (CMS) added to your website this is not a problem.

    All of our websites are built in WordPress which allows us to add a CMS system directly into your website, customised to your needs. The great thing is the CMS system we put in place will not require much technical knowledge or web expertise.

    Many of our clients have websites built that require continual updates such as items for their e-commerce store or updating their blog. You can essentially add or update any content without waiting for us to do it for you. Or without the worry of breaking your website. A CMS custom-designed for your business will mean you’ll be able to increase internal usage across team members and lower your costs in the long run.

    We understand that running your business is time consuming enough as it is. That’s why all the content management systems we put in place are easy to use and manage. Even if yourself or a member or your team are not the most tech-savvy we can instruct you how they work and always be on hand to answer any questions you may have. WordPress is one of the most trusted open-source web platforms online with, over 40% of live websites use them. Our web design service aims to to create a responsive website that you can fully manage.

  • LAMP Stack

    Creating a website involves using a number of open-source software known as LAMP. The stack gets its name from four of the original components of its build, a Linux operating system, an Apache HTTP server, a MySQL database system, and PHP programming language. These pieces of open software are interchangeable and may vary amongst web developers, however the final goal remains the same; to build dynamic websites and web applications.

    Linux

    With most things in life, a foundation needs to be created in order to build upon. Linux is the first layer in every LAMP stack. The free and open source operating system is what all the other layers in the stack will run on top off.

    Apache

    Officially named Apache HTTP Server, Apache is an open-source software system for web servers. The purpose of the Apache software is to serve websites to the internet, Apache translates what’s typed into a web browser and directs it to the website.

    MySQL

    All computer websites need to be able to store data as well as receive it. MySQL is used exactly for that purpose. MySQL is used to hold database information looked at by scripts when building websites. Because it’s open-source software it is an extremely popular database program, trusted by developers all over the world.

    PHP

    The final layer in the LAMP stack is PHP, a scripting language that is used in web development. PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a server-side programming language widely used in web development that contains HTML which is how your site is coded.

FAQs

I'm looking for the best web design Somerset has to offer, can you help?

Yes we can certainly help. We have clients all over the country but if you are looking to work with local web designers we can arrange a meeting at our office or visit you at your premises. We are happy to work by email, phone or face to face, whatever works best for you.

How much does a website cost?

The cost of a website is determined by many factors. Websites range in style and size. You may only need a simple one page website, or you may need a complex e-commerce website with several thousand products. The amount of designing you need can also impact on costs. It is always best to create a wish list or a brief so that we can give you accurate costs.

What is website hosting and why do I need it?

Website hosting allows individuals and businesses to display their websites on the Internet. Websites are made up of various files containing the code and databases needed to display the website correctly on a users browser. These files are stored on computers called servers. Servers are kept on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to ensure your website always remains online. We offer a quality web hosting service, which will keep your website, not only live, but as safe and secure as possible.

My website has been hacked, can you help?

Definitely! Our web designers have a huge amount of technical knowledge. We don’t just build websites, we understand how they are put together from the database to the front end. If your website has been hacked please get in touch, we can conduct an audit and either deal with the hacked content there and then or at the very least best advise you on the next steps.

What CMS do you build your websites on?

We build all of our websites on the WordPress open-source Content Management System (CMS). We use the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to tailor the back end of the website, ensuring all of our clients can edit their own content with ease. No HTML knowledge required!

I don’t like my current web agency, can I switch to Priority Pixels?

Paul and the team really understand what we need from our website - they work with us; make valid comments and suggestions and do not push us to do anything we are not ready for. They have basically guided us through change and helped us realise what potential there is for our website.

The recent SEO audit we commissioned them to do was superb and has really helped us focus on how we can do better - and what we can realistically achieve ourselves and what we need them to help us with.

No pressure, no pushing - just good collaborative working.

Full website redesign for globally renowned children's play centre franchise

Gymboree Play & Music first came to Priority Pixels seeking help with their website. The brand currently encompasses multiple franchises in over 30 different countries, with branches in the USA, Canada, China and the United Kingdom among others.

Visually, Gymboree Play & Music’s web presence needed a significant refresh. The web development team at Priority Pixels were asked to build a modern, aesthetically appealing website that was search engine optimised, utilised white space and simplified the user journey.
