Web Design
WORKING WITH DK:MEDIA TO CREATE THE PERFECT WEBSITE FOR YOUR BUSINESS IS EASY…
We approach our website design and development with three things in mind: user experience, business goals and SEO. We work collaboratively with you to create a site that tells your brand story, talks to your audience and seamlessly works across all devices.
Web Design
COMBINING AN EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE EVENTS AND MEDIA INDUSTRIES, ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND CREATIVITY ENABLES DELIVERY OF PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICALLY SOUND WEBSITES TO CLIENTS ACROSS THE GLOBE.
You’re kept informed of progress as we move through the project, with regular meetings and chances to discuss design ideas.
ALL WEBSITES ARE CREATED WITH RESPONSIVE DESIGN STANDARDS MEANING THE SITE HAS JUST AS MUCH IMPACT ON MOBILE PHONES AND TABLETS AS IT DOES ON A COMPUTER
Content Management
A NUMBER OF CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS CAN BE USED TO FULFIL YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
The majority of sites are developed using the WordPress content management system, but other website technologies can also be discussed. Wix and Squarespace are sometimes used as an alternative solution depending on requirements.
Hosting
Nobody likes to wait around for a website to load. Cheap shared hosting packages can be unreliable and slow.
Your website will be optimised and hosted on best-in-class servers to ensure it is delivered lightning fast.

FAQ’s
Some of the most regularly asked questions are included below but if you still have a question, feel free to get in touch.
Having an email address with your domain name is an important part of looking professional.
We can setup email for you based on Office 365 Business accounts to ensure you have a professional, reliable email service.
Please enquire for more details.
This one depends on the complexity of the project.
A single page site can be online and ready to go within around 24 hours at a push! But a more complex site can take anything from a week up to 3 weeks.
If you’re looking into an ecommerce site, this can take much longer as the complexities of listing products and setting up Payment Service Provider integrations is considerably more time consuming.
If you have a project in mind, we’d be happy to give you an idea of the likely turn-around time. Just get in touch!
This really varies and depends on the size of the job and the functionality of the site.
If you require an online shop this will inevitably cost more than a website without a shop facility.
Once we’ve had an initial chat (or you’ve returned the initial briefing form), we’ll be able to give you a much better idea of the likely cost.
Websites can cost anything from £300 to many thousands.
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. It’s the process of adding information to your pages to ensure Search Engines can find and rank your site.
Initially, your website is very unlikely to list at the top of the first page on Google, especially in saturated markets. If anyone tells you it will, it’s likely to cost you a fortune!
Through proper SEO, you can help Google and other search engines list your site correctly.
The initial development of the website will be built implementing all the basic SEO rules. Moving forward, it is entirely up to you and your budget as to whether or not you continue to invest in your SEO and slowly but surely push your website up the rankings.
We can look after this with a maintenance contract.
Yes! We’ll ask you to complete a Branding Design Document so that we can create something extra special for you.
Yes! Domain names are how people find your website. If you already have one, you can forward this to your new website hosting, or provide the relevant login details and we’ll take care of the technical bits.
After the initial cost of the build and design of your website there will be 3 main additional costs; Hosting, Plugin Updates and Domain Name Renewal.
- Your website needs somewhere to live on the internet. This is hosting. The cost of this can vary but £20 per month is a good starting point.
- Plugin updates are essential to keep your WordPress site running securely. This is taken care of within our maintenance contract and the price for this will vary depending on your requirements, such as content creation or only security check-ups.
- Domain name renewals are around £15 per domain per year.
The majority of our websites are built on the WordPress Content Management System meaning creating content is fairly simple.
If you feel you are proficient using the WordPress CMS, we’ll leave it to you!
However, if your knowledge of websites and WordPress is non-existent please leave the updates to the professionals. It will take us less time and will ensure your site remains in order and looking good. An inexperienced user of WordPress will ultimately end up costing you more money!
We can offer maintenance contracts which provide ongoing content additions. Get in touch to find out more.
You may already have a number of photos available, but if not, we can provide images as required to ensure the site looks great.
All our images are licensed by Envato for the use on your website, and copies of these licenses can be provided if required.
Should you require photos of your business or product, we can point you in the direction of an excellent photographer!
Once the project has been agreed on, we’ll need a 50% payment before work commences.
Once you’re happy with the final product, the final 50% needs to be paid before we move the site from the development server to the live server.
Although the above is usually the case, we’re always open to discussing different payment arrangements depending on the project and your budget.
Please get in touch if you want to find out more.
