UI AND UX DESIGN
Optimised Website User Experience
User experience or UX is a key consideration for our web design team.
We’ve all been to a site with bad user experience and it’s frustrating. We want to make sure your customers can find what they are looking for with good structure and navigation, engaging content, responsive web design and quick load times among other considerations.
Interestingly, search engines also look for good user experience. So, not only are we making your customers engaged and happy, it’s also going to help you rank higher on search engines to drive more customers to your business website.
MOBILE FRIENDLY WEBSITES
Responsive Web Design
Part of the User Experience that Google and other search engines use to rank websites is looking at whether websites are responsive across a range of devices.
In fact, in 2016 Google introduced a ‘mobile-first’ policy where websites may be penalised if they aren’t mobile friendly by ranking them lower in search engine results. Further in 2018, Google revealed they would begin developing mobile-first indexing which means they will generally crawl the mobile version of a website vice the desktop version.
Since most websites are now viewed on mobile devices, it is essential that your website is designed and coded with a mobile website design. It should always look good while being functional for the user.
SUPERIOR CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
WORDPRESS WEBSITE DESIGN
We use WordPress as the content management system for all of our websites. WordPress is the most popular CMS with 42% of the worlds websites built on wordpress. The benefits include:
- Control Of Your Website: The software is open source and downloadable from worpress.org which means you can move it between hosting services if required rather than being tied to a particular platform and platform builder.
- Flexibility: you can build any type of website on WordPress

Some Of Our Happy Customers
We chose Platinum Website Solutions to redesign our website from our existing Wix website. Their design has increased both the look and functionality of the site and offered great value for our small business.
Some of our clients have also made mention of the quality of the redesigned site. Nick was great to deal with for both for the initial design and the following site updates.
It continues to generate new customers and business for us including our surrounding areas. Very happy with the website and happy to recommend their services.
I’m thrilled with the results of my website built by Tracey.

The website continues to generate new business for me across the range of the training courses that I offer.

Why Do I Need A Website For My Small Business
Your website is a 24/7 marketing machine
Your website keeps working for you day and night so your customers can access information when they want and you get leads for your business while you work or sleep.
Future proof your business
When economic times are good, businesses naturally have a good flow of customers. However, a search engine optimised website will make your business resilient when times get tough, ensuring you remain highly visible to customers who still need your business and widening your customer reach.
It can help you beat the big guys
Some of your big competitors will have massive marketing budgets, but that doesn’t mean you can’t compete with them. Our websites are built on the same platform as huge companies like Vogue and PlayStation. Lots of small businesses have been known to outrank their competitors with the right website.
People can find you on Google
FACT: A website is one of the most effective ways to not only get your business found but also noticed.

Your competitors have one
We live in the age of now
You control the narrative
Get your message, services and products in front of your ideal customers the way you want it to, unlike social media platforms and review sites where you have no control over what people might say about your business.
You own your website
Unlike social media accounts and some website platforms, we build you a website where you control the domain name and website files. This means you own the website and content, can take it with you if you rebrand/move your business or can even sell it with your business down track.
It adds credibility and trust
If your business doesn’t have a website, chances are your losing customers. It instantly boosts your credibility as a legitimate and professional business and these days your customers expect it.
FACT: 48% of customers will stop considering a business if it doesn’t have a website.

Showcase ALL your services
In your print advertising you may be able to fit some of what you do but you’re limited in characters and space. With your own website, you can dedicate as much space and even whole pages to your services as you like. Highlight your portfolio of previous work, show your expert knowledge with articles containing handy tips, go into detail on your services, and showcase your unique selling points.
A professional web design is more affordable then traditional advertising
Social validation
These days most customers are looking at online reviews to help with their buying decisions. While review sites are helpful, your website allows you to really showcase some great customer testimonials and influence potential customers.
FACT: 67% of customers won’t consider a business with unfavourable online reviews.
