What are the benefits of custom web design services?

The most important aspect to consider when comparing custom web design services to templated web design services is the fact that every business is unique and you’ll never be able to find a template that matches your specific vision or requirements. In order to build a website that truly maximizes the conversion rate and produces the best possible visual aesthetic is to create a custom design, from scratch. It’s also beneficial to run ongoing A/B split tests to compare the bottom-line results of different design concepts. Last but not least is the fact that if you’re using a template, there’s a chance that another company (possibly a competitor) might end up using the same template or a similar template. If you have the budget, we always recommend leveraging custom web design services in order to stand out from the crowd and ensure that your brand is unique.

How do you make a custom website design from scratch?

Follow these steps:

Make a rough content outline
Create a basic wireframe
Use Elementor as your website builder
Follow the company’s branding (or make tweaks if necessary)
Use proper color contrast
Use the right font families & sizes
Use sufficient and consistent spacing
Use premium icons and images
Design multiple concepts to compare and test
Leverage SEO and conversion rate optimization strategies
Get “unlimited revisions” from your agency

For a deeper dive into the above steps, check out our comprehensive guide on how to make a custom website design from scratch.

Do you ever use templates for your designs?

We never use external templates for our designs. However, we often create custom page designs that our clients can quickly and easily re-use for other pages on their website with different types of content. This is an efficient and effective way to create more pages on your website without breaking the bank. On top of that, it’s often best for the user experience for your website to re-use similar layouts for certain pages. This allows the user to navigate through your website without being overwhelmed by too many different designs. If your website follows a similar layout for certain pages, it will make it easier for the user to browse through your website, focus on the content, and eventually convert into a lead.

Can you copy someone else’s website for us?

If you send us a competitor’s website or any website that you like, we’ll certainly analyze it and potentially take some inspiration from it.

However, we’ll never flat-out copy another website. Not only is that unethical, but it will also never maximize your results. Your brand should be unique, and our goal is to make your website better than anyone else’s.

This means that we’ll always do research on your competitors and similar websites, but with the mission of making yours superior (instead of the same).

What is your web design process and philosophy?

As a results-driven agency, we focus on generating revenue for our clients.

We believe that the purpose of web design is not only to create something beautiful, but to create something that will produce high-quality leads.

To deliver a strong return on investment, we prioritize industry research, search engine optimization, and conversion rate optimization.

We consistently win design awards from platforms like DesignRush, WebAwards, CSS Design Awards and more, but we’re more proud of the bottom-line results that we achieve for our clients.

We’ve accumulated over 100 five-star reviews on platforms like Clutch and Google, and our clients love to talk about the measurable results that they’ve achieved with Azuro.

We treat our clients like partners every step of the way!

FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

Why is WordPress the best web development platform?

WordPress is by far the most popular web development platform for a number of reasons. To put its popularity into perspective, according to HubSpot and many other sources, WordPress powers roughly 43% of all websites on the internet. Meanwhile, Shopify is the 2nd most popular platform and only powers about 6% of websites.

The reason why WordPress is so popular is due to its flexibility. You can integrate any type of functionality with efficiency and effectiveness. Other platforms are often more restrictive and don’t allow you to have full control.

WordPress is “open source” which means that you can customize anything, and it also means that you have complete ownership of the website. There are other open source platforms out there, but most professionals believe that WordPress provides the most seamless design and development experience on the market.

As WordPress developers, what tools and plugins do you use?

Since WordPress is an open source platform, it’s up to the designer/developer to integrate the right server, theme and plugins into the website.

We primarily use Cloudways for hosting, Elementor for our page builder, Hello Elementor for our theme and Cloudflare for our CDN.

From there, our standard suite of plugins includes WP Rocket, Imagify, Rank Math, Solid Security, JetEngine, and a few other miscellaneous plugins. We also use other plugins when clients have unique needs that call for extra tools or different solutions.

For more information on our toolset, we wrote an article that outlines and explains the best tech stack for WordPress in more detail.

Why do I need a WordPress maintenance plan?

As a result of the flexibility and vast customization capabilities that WordPress provides, it also requires ongoing technical maintenance to prevent it from breaking down or getting hacked. For more information, we’ve written a comprehensive article on why you need a WordPress maintenance plan.

Will my site be responsive on all devices and screen sizes?

Yes, here’s how to do it:

1. Use a website builder like Elementor

Your choice of technology has a massive impact on whether or not you’ll be able to make your website fully responsive. Some website builders or frameworks don’t have responsive features that are easy to use, which can cause developers to throw in the towel and be lazy about it. In other cases, some tools actually make it impossible altogether.

We recommend using a website builder like Elementor, which comes with all of the responsive features that you need in order to make your website 100% responsive.

Here are some of the highlights of what you can achieve with Elementor:

Design a responsive menu
Leverage dynamic spacing and sizing for all sections and widgets
Use global styling to make everything consistently responsive
Hide and show elements on different devices
Reverse the column order for different devices
Implement custom breakpoints for various screen sizes
Use REM spacing

For a more comprehensive overview of Elementor’s responsive features, check out their helpful video.

2. Use REM spacing

In the list above, we mentioned that Elementor offers REM spacing. Not all website builders have this as an option, but it’s critical to achieve a perfectly responsive design.

Elementor offers multiple different spacing options, and surprisingly, most designers/developers use “pixels” for spacing in Elementor. This is because it’s the default option and most people don’t realize that REM is much better.

REM stands for “root element measurement” and it’s a relative unit of measurement. On the other hand, a pixel is an absolute unit of measurement. This means that REM spacing adapts based on the spacing of other elements, making it the more responsive option.

So… don’t forget to use REM instead of pixels when you’re using Elementor!

3. Test the responsiveness of the site with various tools

Elementor has a native function to view the site on all sorts of devices and screen sizes. Start with that.

However, it’s important to test the website with other tools as well, because different tools have a tendency to show slightly different results. Your site might look perfectly responsive in one tool, but it might look incorrect in another (or on someone’s real physical device).

In addition to Elementor’s native tool, we recommend checking the site with Chrome’s “inspect” function, your browser’s zoom in / zoom out setting, this free responsive testing tool, and all of the different physical devices that you and your team possess (nothing’s more reliable than checking an actual device).

Next, be sure to check your website on all major browsers including Chrome, Safari, Firefox & Microsoft Edge. In some cases, certain elements on your site might look wrong on certain browsers, so it’s important to check and fix if needed.

Bonus tip: before launch, get as many other people as possible to test the website (on their real devices). Doing this might reveal some issues that you would have never discovered on your own.

Do you make websites accessible for people with disabilities?

Yes. Here’s how to make your website perfectly accessible and comply with ADA, AODA, WCAG, and more:

1. Use an accessible website builder

As a web creator, you have a myriad of options to choose from when it comes to the technology that you leverage to build the website. When making your decision, we recommend researching the tools to ensure that they include all of the critical features for web accessibility.

We use Elementor, which comes jam-packed with most of the important accessibility functions such as Image ALT Attributes, ARIA-Labels, Accessible Forms, and HTML5 Semantic Elements.

2. Add the advanced accessibility features

While Elementor offers most of the essential accessibility features, it’s still lacking some of the more advanced features to make the website as accessible as possible. This is the case for almost all website builders. You simply need to add an extra plugin.

We recommend integrating the One Click Accessibility plugin to add all of the extra bells-and-whistles for accessibility. This plugin is free and developed by the Elementor team, so it integrates seamlessly with Elementor.

This plugin allows users to resize fonts, change page to grayscale, change links to have underline, and much more.

3. Follow design best practices

While using the right technology will help to make your website accessible, there are certain things that rely on your own skillset as a designer.

For starters, you need to ensure that you have enough color contrast so that users can distinguish between different elements and/or read the content easily. For example, if your text is white, don’t place it on a light background, and if your text is black, don’t place it on a dark background. There needs to be sufficient color contrast between the text color and the background color.

Another factor is to ensure that your font family is easy to read. Avoid fancy fonts that are too curvy, crammed, or simply awkward and difficult to follow. Use simple, clean and modern fonts. You also need to make the default font size large enough for most people to read (even people with minor visual impairments). To achieve that result, for most font families we recommend a font size between 16-20 pixels for the body text.

How do you optimize website speed on WordPress?

We use Elementor, which is one of the most flexible and user-friendly website builders on WordPress. As a result of its flexibility and ease-of-use, along with other nuances within WordPress, some developers have a tough time getting their Elementor website to load quickly or prevent glitches.

However, if you’re using Elementor correctly and implementing all of the other best practices in WordPress, you’ll end up with a blazing fast website that functions reliably.

Here are the most essential tips to follow:

Use a reliable, high-speed host like Cloudways.
Leverage a CDN like Cloudflare.
Use Hello Elementor: the default, lightweight theme provided by Elementor.
Use Elementor’s flexbox containers feature.
Integrate a site speed plugin like WP Rocket.
Compress and resize images with Imagify.
Don’t integrate too many plugins (or the wrong plugins) with Elementor/WordPress. Use this tool to audit plugins before adding them to your site, or reach out to Elementor support to make sure it won’t conflict.
Don’t overload the page with too many images, videos, sections, etc.

For more information on the above factors, check out our comprehensive guide on how to make a fast and reliable website with Elementor.

What’s your process for WordPress security?

Here are the most important steps that we take to secure your website:

Use a dedicated server (not a shared server) on a secure hosting platform like Cloudways.
Integrate Cloudflare and Solid Security for extra security benefits.
Promptly update all technology on your website whenever a new version is released for the PHP version, WordPress core, theme, and all plugins.
24/7 security monitoring.
