Our Approach To Website Design

We remove the guess work and collaborate with you as a team to get from concept to completion in building your new website.

From our Boston, MA coding dojo we have implemented our successful approach to designing new websites for businesses large and small. Outlined here is the strategy that is used in website design, but also applies to services like internet marketing.

The Importance of Website Design

In today’s competitive web environment, having a website that is visually appealing is very important. Here is a few reasons why designing custom websites is so important:

  • Browser compatibility – your website needs to be compatible with all web browsers and window sizes
  • Client-focus – a well designed website makes it easy for you to show customers what you want, while making sure they get what they need
  • Search Engine Optimization – Search engines like Google are so advanced, that they can detect well designed websites and help improve their ranking
  • Branding – Your website is a glance into your company and often reflects your image more than any other marketing tool

Our Process to Designing Websites

PWS takes great pride in our ability to work with clients and produce high quality websites. A successful relationship between the designer and client always revolves around communication. From our Massachusetts offices, PWS is available to meet and discuss all web projects.

Identifying the needs of the client and helping to define the terms and technologies that are involved are an important first step in custom website design. It is critical that the client understand their own needs before depending upon a website design company to help them.

How long does it take to build a website?

Using our well established web design process we see sites fall into one of three buckets:

Most Sites – 4-6 weeks
E-Commerce Sites – 6-8 weeks
Large Sites – 8-12 weeks

How much does a website cost?

A very reasonable question. ProActive Web Solutions provides custom project-based pricing. We are happy to provide some ballpark priicing guidelines that we follow if you are looking for a quick quote. Please contact us to discuss your web project.

Do you outsource your work?

No, the large majority of our design and development work is done in-house. We do leverage several open-source tools, such as WordPress plugins, based on the needs of the project. Doing so allows us to produce the best functionality possible at the most affordable price. We also partner with experts in a few areas where appropriate to meet particular project needs. 

Is WordPress easy to learn?

Yes, in our experience WordPress is one of the most user-friendly content management systems. We are confident that with our personal WordPress training, you will have control over your website!
