Easy-to-manage brochure website design is the right choice for small to medium businesses. It is intended as a digital version of a typical printed brochure.
Many businesses find these a great choice to showcase previous projects and give them a solid foundation on the web. They legitimise the company in the eyes of potential customers and allow clients to learn more about your background and skills.
Although called brochure sites, our brochure sites are so much more than that. They are essentially ‘living’ brochures. These sites are truly dynamic, with up-to-the-minute streams from social media, opportunities to schedule news releases, live chat facilities, and user engagement such as polls, comments, and secure areas.
Brochure sites are never a one-size-fits-all, so we help find the best solution for your business, balancing cost, ease of use, business and user requirements. Feel free to call us today and we can help you decide on the right website to grow your business.

eLearning development and payment gateways for businesses. We specialise in customised learning management systems built on Moodle and LearnDash.
Over many years, we have helped build learning management systems for a wide range of clients and have gained invaluable knowledge in this niche area. We can share this knowledge to get your eLearning project up and running quickly. We can help with anything from simple advice to building complete systems in Moodle and LearnDash.
We can help you hit the ground running with LearnDash. Our LearnDash developers help with the initial set-up and installation of devices and bespoke LearnDash themes and extensions.
We create customised Moodle installations and Plug-Ins. We build the necessary HTML templates based on supplied designs, or we can create a new look and feel from scratch. We can also integrate payment gateways into LearnDash for clients that charge by user or group for LMS access.
Not at all; the experience we’ve gained working on web design projects with global giants means we can share that learning with you. We are agile, cost-effective, and, most importantly, web design experts who global brands trust to deliver exceptional projects.
The timeline depends on the project’s scope. A basic website might take 4-6 weeks, while a more complex site could take several months. We’ll provide an estimated timeline after understanding your requirements.

We begin by understanding your objectives and target audience. Throughout the project, we’ll align the design and functionality to support your goals and keep you involved for feedback and adjustments.
Prototyping aims to iron out any interaction issues before we get too far into the web design and coding process. We check interactions and functionality, page layouts, navigation and tone of voice.
We always aim to identify key user tasks and goals and then create prototypes to ensure these goals are achievable.
This is a rapid way to get feedback and sense-check ideas. Creating a Figma prototype takes very little time and can save hours of development time in the long run.
Any reputable web design company will have information architecture at the centre of its work. We believe content is king and that content needs to be organized well for users to benefit from it. Information architecture is the structure, organization, categorising, labelling, and tagging of content. There really is an art to organizing and labelling content to increase its usability and findability.
Website wireframes are generally the first part of a web design project that we will share with the client for feedback. They are an invaluable part of the web design process and serve as the blueprint for your new website. Wireframes focus on two key areas: functionality and content.
Great user interface design is about helping users achieve their goals with the least amount of friction. It supports the overall user experience, typography, visual design, copy, and tone of voice. It’s about being usable without drawing undue attention to itself. It needs to function well, with no bells and no whistles. Clean, clear, simple, and precise. Great user interfaces must also be flexible (website localisation being a prime example) and scalable to accommodate additional features that may be added later in the product lifecycle.
Art direction is the process of bringing your website design to life! Art direction and visual design address the look of your website. We use colours, photography, iconography, and video to convey messages about your brand to your target audience. This feeds directly back into the overall user experience of your website and, combined, creates the website’s look and feel. When a user hits your website, you need to convey a message instantly that fits your brand—serious, luxury, creative, cheeky, or fun!
We must ensure our target users can achieve their goals as simply and effectively as possible. After investing many hours into designing a product, your eyes become used to it. Usability is about getting a fresh perspective through the help of usability testers. When testers come in, we set them specific tasks, enabling us to see the product from their perspective. After testers have shared their insights, some minor tweaks to a product may be made. There should be no big surprises at this stage; we’ve been doing this for a long time and are a very experienced team.
Research
Possibly the most essential part of any web design project. It’s important for us to understand your business, its goals and the message conveyed by the proposed website. Then there’s understanding the users, their goals and what makes them tick.
Personas
We identify target audiences and build personas around these. Your website should cater to each persona created and fit them well. This gives us a clear target audience(s) for design.
Assets
We create an inventory of past and present content and create a plan for any additional content required.
Site mapping
Information architecture starts with the creation of a site map, which shows a definitive list of modules and pages.
SEO
SEO research starts from the get-go. It’s good practice to put in SEO-driven content from the beginning. This ensures your website has the best possible start in the search engine crowd. You can read more about our SEO services here.
Wireframing
We create monotone wireframes to focus on content and layout. Art direction and visual design are considered but not implemented at this stage. Wireframing forms your website blueprint.
Figma prototyping
We don’t want to wait until something is built before we know if it works. We build Figma prototypes and iron out any tricky interactions.
User interface design
Here, we look at the user interface and navigational widgets in depth.
Visual design and art direction
Visual design and art direction are about making your website shine. We consider your business’s message and give that message a face.
Website development
This is the coding portion of our work process. At this stage, databases and content management systems are all set up.
Q&A; testing
We triple-check that everything works correctly on all relevant devices.
Usability testing
We test all our products with real users, assess the results, and make changes where necessary.
Launch
It’s GO time—the official launch of your new website. Monitoring starts right away, and the data gathered is essential for future improvements.
