Web Design
Professional Web Design Services That Deliver Results
A great website is the foundation of your online presence. At Aardvarky Media, we design bespoke WordPress websites that look exceptional, load quickly, and — most importantly — help you achieve your business goals. Whether that means generating enquiries, selling products, or building credibility in your market, every design decision we make is driven by results.
Based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, we work with businesses locally and across the UK, delivering professional web design that stands out in crowded markets.
What Makes Our Web Design Different?
Bespoke Design, Not Templates
We don't use off-the-shelf templates. Every website we create is designed from scratch, tailored to your brand identity, your audience, and your commercial objectives. This means your site looks and feels uniquely yours — not like a hundred other businesses in your sector.
SEO Is Part of the Design Process
Many agencies design a website first and think about SEO later. We believe that's backwards. Our web design process integrates SEO from day one: site structure, page hierarchy, URL architecture, heading structure, schema markup, and page speed are all considered during the design phase, not bolted on afterwards.
Conversion-Focused Layout
A beautiful website that doesn't convert visitors into customers is a missed opportunity. We design with conversion in mind, using clear calls to action, intuitive navigation, trust signals, and strategic content placement to guide visitors towards the actions that matter to your business.
Built on WordPress
We build exclusively on WordPress, the world's most popular content management system. This gives you a website that's powerful, flexible, and easy to manage.
Our Web Design Process
Stage 1
Discovery and Briefing
We start by understanding your business inside out. We'll discuss your goals, your audience, your competitors, and what success looks like for you. This stage also includes keyword research to inform the site structure and content strategy.
Stage 2
Site Architecture and Wireframing
Before any visual design begins, we plan the structure of your website. This includes page hierarchy, navigation flow, and content layout. Wireframes give you a clear picture of how each page will be organised.
Stage 3
Visual Design
This is where your website starts to take shape visually. We create detailed design mockups for key pages, showing colours, typography, imagery, and layout. You'll have the opportunity to review and provide feedback before we move to development.
Stage 4
WordPress Development
Our developers build your approved designs into a fully functional WordPress website. This includes responsive coding for all devices, speed optimisation, accessibility compliance, and integration with any third-party tools or platforms you need.
Stage 5
Content Population and SEO Setup
We work with you to populate the site with optimised content, set up meta titles and descriptions, configure analytics tracking, and implement technical SEO foundations including XML sitemaps, schema markup, and robots configuration.
Stage 6
Testing and Quality Assurance
Before launch, every page is tested across multiple browsers, devices, and screen sizes. We check forms, links, speed, accessibility, and functionality to ensure everything works perfectly.
Stage 7
Launch and Handover
We handle the technical launch, including DNS configuration, SSL setup, and redirect implementation if you're migrating from an existing site. We then provide a comprehensive training session so you're confident managing your own content.
