I could see more and more improvements in orders.

It was truly a wonderful experience working with akW duo and seeing them do their magic! The level of understanding of the business and the industry Matt and Ally have, the research, the no BS approach and the reports left me more confident than ever that I’m in good hands. I’m super grateful and excited to see my website climb up!

The results have exceeded our expectations.

The whole process was straightforward and they took the pains away from managing the project. Matt and his team took the creative lead and used the information we provided to create a great website.

Their attention to detail was absolutely fantastic.

So many website designers create a website that looks great, but does not initiate the customer to create action. AkW really understood this process and realise that an effective website needs to create an enquiry or a sale.

Frequently asked questions

Web design services Bedford

How much do you charge to build a website?

Project costs can vary, ranging from £1,500 to over £30,000, depending on your vision and desired functionalities. During our no-obligation discovery call, we will discuss your vision and requirements for the new platform and provide an estimated price.

How long does it take to design and build a website?

The timeline for designing and developing a website can range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the project's complexity. Typically, building a standard website takes 3 to 6 weeks, while developing an e-commerce site may require 8 to 16 weeks. We'll provide you with an estimated timeframe after the introduction call. Contact us to book a call today!

Will my website be optimised for mobile users?

Absolutely! It’s crucial for us to create a beautiful experience suitable for smaller screens. According to Google's Mobile Path to Purchase report, over 60% of smartphone users have made a purchase online using their mobile device in the past six months. Hence, mobile responsive design is an obligatory standard in our design process.

Will my website include SEO?

All our websites include on-page technical SEO. That means that during the build of your platform, we ensure that all the website components are readable for search engines like Google or Bing. It won’t assure that your website will start appearing in top positions of the search engines yet, but will definitely give your website a better nudge.

If you want your website to be loved and pushed by Google locally in Bedford, nationally, or even internationally, we can help you in creating and implementing a long-term SEO strategy.

How will you ensure my website is future-proof and scalable?

To ensure your website is future-proof and scalable, we focus on building a robust and flexible foundation from the start. We use modern technologies and best practices that allow your website to grow alongside your business. This includes using a scalable content management system (CMS) that can handle increased traffic, additional features, and content updates without compromising performance.

We also design with adaptability in mind, ensuring your site is responsive and can easily incorporate new trends or functionalities as your needs evolve. Regular updates, security enhancements, and the ability to integrate with emerging technologies are all part of our approach to keeping your website relevant and efficient in the long term.

By planning for future needs and potential growth from the outset, we ensure your website not only meets your current requirements but is also ready to expand and adapt as your business scales.
