Website Design

Starting a website project can be daunting. We make it simple. When we partner with you, your website becomes as important to us as it is to you.

Put simply, your website is our product. We have to get it right.

JDK Design develops websites for small to medium sized businesses, public sector organisations, one-off projects and registered charities throughout Ireland.

We prioritise:

  • Helping you to decide the best way to tell your story.
  • Your audience – we focus on your users and their requirements.
  • Delivering visually interesting websites.
  • Placing emphasis on the user experience and the organic flow of the website.
  • Paying attention to even the smallest detail.

We have three options for website development:

When you work with us to develop a bespoke WordPress site, you are not bound by templates. This gives greater flexibility to achieve a unique look.

WordPress is incredibly powerful, well supported and easy for you to update in-house.

Our bespoke WordPress development package includes:

  • Website and marketing workshops.
  • Optional Content Development services.
  • Presentation of static design website mock-ups prior to the build.
  • Excellent project management and communication throughout the process.
  • Training guides and Zoom training sessions on how to manage your website.
  • Annual Website Technical Maintenance services.
  • Optional Website care and updating services.

We can work with you to develop a website on Shopify, Squarespace or Wix. It is a halfway house between a bespoke site and build your own.

Shopify, Squarespace and Wix are very powerful website builders that enable anyone to set up their own website. The truth is though, that setting up a website requires a great deal of thought and has steep learning curves. All that takes time – time you might be better off putting into your core business.

This option requires a bit more input from you than a fully bespoke WordPress site.

How it works:

  1. We start with a workshop to understand your goals, which will help you to develop content.
  2. After that you set up an account on your preferred platform and choose the template you want us to work with.
  3. You supply us with content* and give us access to work on your template.
  4. We populate the template, incorporating user flow navigation, prominent calls to action, forms, pop ups etc.
  5. When the site is complete we can offer simple ‘how to’ training and then we hand all over to you.

*You can of course also avail of Content Development services alongside this option.

The benefits of having help with a Shopify, Squarespace or Wix website are:

  • A professional eye – we can bring out the very best in the template you choose.
  • We ensure the navigation of your site is thoroughly thought through and implemented.
  • Time – this is a big one! People can easily underestimate how long the process takes when it is handled in-house.

If you do have the time it can be fun to develop your own website.

If you decide to go down the self development route then we also offer a consultancy service to give you a bit more confidence.

Our consultancy package includes:

  • A two hour website workshop at the outset of the project to help you frame your requirements and advise on a structure.
  • A two hour review of your content highlighting any potential gaps – or letting you know if there is too much! We offer Content Development services if you find you do need help writing your content.
  • A one hour review when you have completed your prototype website (We do not offer training on the technicalities of how to develop websites).
  • A one hour review of the final website.

As a guide:

The consultancy package is €850 +Vat

  • Our websites are fully optimised from the outset.
  • When we work with clients on Content Development we incorporate keyword research and optimisation.
  • We advise on how to manage tools like Google Analytics to monitor the performance of your website.
  • We can design add on services such as email marketing, social media graphics and branded Canva Template Packages.
