5 Steps to a Seriously Good Website
This is where we excel as a digital agency. Design is our passion and the basis of our expertise. Design encompasses a plethora of skills including design function, responsive design, UX design as well as the visual look and feel. Our designers are multi-skilled and work hard to ensure our clients love the result.
Our goal is to deliver smart function and smart design that oozes your brand in every aspect.
We understand that while most small business owners know their company inside and out, they don’t always have the time or the skill to compile the content for their website. Copywriting is a skill, as is selecting the right visual content that represents your business perfectly. Our team of Copywriters and Designers work together to create your brand’s tone and visual identity which syncs together seamlessly. A content plan is vital in the early stages of web development and we can help you create this with the option of compiling the content for you, or simply guiding you in the right direction to do this in-house in your own time.
We know that great websites come together with great visuals. We always suggest that our clients explore professional photography for their website, as the results always impress. Professional photography has the power to lift your website from stock standard to something special. Photography and video compel your visitors to learn more about your business and can add a face to those who they may be working with. Photography in web design can include location shots, staff portraits, product shots as well as a portfolio gallery. They will serve you for years to come as vital assets for marketing materials and social media graphics.
In 2019 there’s no excuse for being non-responsive. If your website only works properly on a desktop device, you could be jeopardising 50% of your visitors. Responsive design assures your visitors that you are professional and that you care about their user experience. With the rise in smart phone and tablet use, responsive design that ensures smooth transition and display across all devices and browsers is a standard custom of SGD websites.
WordPress powers over 25% of the world’s websites, and there’s good reason for this. WordPress is the most user-friendly CMS we have worked with. When we develop websites for our clients, we hand them over with complete training in how to navigate and update their WordPress website. This means our clients have full control over their website content as well as their blog. WordPress works with superior speed, security and back-up functionalities and therefore is our favoured web platform.

James and the team did a fantastic job designing an attractive and easy to navigate site for our organisation. We had a few challenges throughout the project and SGD were very patient and responsive to our needs. Would definitely work with SGD in the future.

It has been great working with James and his team to create our new Endeavour Tap Rooms website as well as the creation of our Applejack multi-level platform. The Endeavour Tap Rooms website is now modern, really user-friendly + has incredible new functionalities that can be translated across all our Applejack sites. The new multi-level site has also made it quick & easy to access and maintain all our Applejack sites from one login. Talk about increased efficiency & effectiveness!
