Gatsby Agency

A brand new Gatsby website design takes around 6 to 9 months from start to finish. In addition, you’ll need to take into consideration our lead times. Our lead time changes on a weekly basis so if you’ve got a tight deadline, don’t hesitate to get in touch and we’ll see what we can do for you!

Bespoke Gatsby websites start from £22K+VAT. However, we can cater for lower budgets so please do get in touch for an honest consultation where we can explain what we can do for you. We also offer flexible payment terms so you can spread the cost.

Firstly, you’ll need you to come along to a discovery meeting with the team so we can truly understand your goals and objectives. This can be done virtually if you’re located further afield.

Depending on your bespoke package, we may need you to supply us with content and images in order to populate the website. Throughout the process we’ll be in contact with you so you can rest assured that everything is in safe hands.

Our web design process consists of 7 key stages:

1. Technical Specification: We’ll create a unique document which summarises the overall goals, objectives and budget of your web design project. Within this document we’ll define all key features and functionality, detail how we expect the features to work and create a ‘project bible’ which we follow during the entire project.
2. Discovery & Ideation: We’ll host a discovery session so we can truly understand your business, vision and target audience. We’ll talk you through our initial ideas and show you our mood-board which will allow us to further understand your preferences and make tailored recommendations.
3. UX & UI Design: Once we’ve got a solid grasp of your business, brand and target audience(s), we’ll design a wireframe which visually depicts how your new website will flow. This will show you how a user would navigate through the site from first landing on a page to taking the action you want them to take (such as making a purchase for ecommerce businesses or filling in a booking form for restaurant businesses). Once you’re happy with the UX design, we’ll work on the UI design which simply shows what the website will look like. We’ll show you our designs and get your seal of approval before starting the next stage.
4. Development: When we’ve got your sign off, we’ll begin developing your brand new site. This consists of front-end development (building the look and layout of the site) and back-end development (building the functionality of the site).
5. Testing: We’ll then test the website again and again to ensure everything is working correctly and functioning exactly like we planned.
6. Population: This stage consists of moving across any existing content and imagery from your old site to the new one so you won’t lose any valuable information or hard work. If you don’t have any existing content, you can work with our content writer to create unique content for your new site.
7. Deployment: This is the exciting part. We’ll hit the launch button for your website and carry out both pre-live and post-live checks to ensure everything is tip top! A tailored SEO migration strategy will be employed to ensure that rankings are maintained and all redirects will be manually created and implemented to ensure that authority is not lost.

We’re here to help you as little or as much as you need! When your new site is launched, we are just an email or phone call away so if there’s anything you need, we’re on hand to help!

Absolutely not! We work with many clients across the UK who are extremely happy with the service we provide.

Many of our team members work remotely, allowing us to find the most skilled and friendly professionals out there. Throughout the web design process we will arrange a number of zoom meetings so we discuss the design openly and honestly.

At the end of the day, we want you to walk away with the best possible website for your business objectives, so we’re happy to have as many or as few zoom calls as you need!
