Modern Website Design Service in Auckland

A website design service is a professional service that helps individuals or businesses create, develop, and implement a visually appealing, user-friendly website. It typically involves designing the layout, choosing colours and fonts, creating graphics, and optimising the site for mobile and desktop viewing. Some services also offer content creation, SEO optimisation, and functionality testing to ensure that the website is not only attractive but also effective and easy for visitors to use. A website design service can range from basic setup to fully custom design and development based on the client’s needs.

At Right Hand Man, we maximise every marketing dollar, including website design and builds. Our services range from simple, stylish websites starting at $2,000, to mid-sized business sites with custom features, and fully customised, high-end websites with advanced functionalities like e-commerce or client portals.

The time it takes to design and launch a website can vary depending on the size, complexity, and specific requirements of the project. For a basic informational website, the process can take between 2-4 weeks, covering initial planning, design, and launch. Mid-sized websites with more pages, custom graphics, or added functionalities may require 6-12 weeks, while larger or more complex projects, such as e-commerce sites or custom-built applications, can take 3-6 months or longer. The timeline also depends on the speed of feedback and approval from the client, as well as content readiness. Good planning, a clear timeline, and regular communication between the designer and the client help ensure a smooth, timely launch.

Some golden rules of web design include:

• User-Centric Design: Make the site easy for users to navigate with a clear structure and intuitive navigation.

• Mobile Responsiveness: Ensure that the website looks and functions well on all devices, especially mobile.

• Consistency: Keep a consistent design across all pages with cohesive colours, fonts, and layout styles.

• Fast Loading Times: Optimise images and code to reduce load times, improving user experience and SEO.

• Clear Call-to-Action (CTA): Place prominent CTAs on key pages, guiding users to take desired actions, such as signing up or making a purchase.

These principles are foundational for creating a visually appealing and highly functional website.

Web design doesn’t always require coding, especially if using platforms like Squarespace or Wix, which provide templates and drag-and-drop features. However, knowing basic coding languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is beneficial and can allow for greater customisation and control over the design. For highly customised sites, especially those built from scratch or requiring specific functionalities, coding knowledge is often essential and may involve advanced skills in languages such as PHP or Python.
