Built for YOU

Here at Frogspark, each and every one of the websites we design and develop is bespoke to you and your business. We take the time to understand your the nature of your industry, the way your business operates and the goals you want to achieve. Our aim is to create a website that helps your business grow and thrive, generating a high ROI and ensuring long-term success.

Let's Get Started

Our Approach to Website Design & Development

In such a competitive online world, it’s never been more important to drive traffic to your site, and, crucially, to convert that traffic. Our comprehensive approach starts with getting to know your business and takes you through to launch and beyond. At every stage of the website creation process, our focus is always on bringing you a fast, high-performing, user-centred experience that also looks fantastic.

Discovery

We think it’s important to take a collaborative approach right from the word go, so that we can use your team’s experience, alongside our own, to add value creatively and technically at each stage. We'll discuss your aims and objectives so that we can build these into our process and ensure your website meets (and exceeds) them.

Planning

We will conduct a detailed statistical analysis of your existing site, using insightful tools such as Google Analytics, Search Console and more. This enables us to make better-informed choices when it comes to planning your new site. Then we begin mapping your site in terms of a customer’s journey to conversion, creating a visual sitemap for you to better understand this.

Designing

With the planning process defined, we put our fantastic team of creative minds together to design a beautiful and unique website. We'll begin with a wireframe design, taking you through to a full design concept, using cutting-edge AI tools to produce interactive prototypes, and creating a truly engaging experience for your customers.

Development

Once the design has been signed off, our Derby-based web developers will take your site from a visual to a fully-functioning website. We'll integrate with any existing systems and ensure that we use clean, SEO-friendly code to ensure search engines can crawl and index all your content. We'll work with the SEO team to ensure search engine optimisation is built in from the very start, to minimise the risk of traffic or visibility drops when your new site launches. We'll also optimise images and minimise plugins to ensure that your new site is as fast as possible.

Testing

Your new website is a big investment, so it's important to make sure it's functioning exactly as it should. We'll check your website's look and functionality across a range of devices, and work with our SEO team to ensure that all redirects are mapped and that content is ready for go-live.

Support

After the exciting launch of your new site, you’re not left to your own devices - we offer ultra-reliable hosting, as well as any technical support you need post-launch and throughout the lifetime of your site. See our hosting and support packages for more information on this.

Having a responsive website has never been more important

With smartphone usage ever on the rise, and search engines adopting a mobile-first approach to indexing, having a high-performing, responsive website that functions across all devices is vital. It needs to be both great to look at and simple to use, however your visitors are browsing. All our websites are fully responsive, combining bespoke design and functionality with sound technical foundations and an excellent user experience.

Custom Web Design, Built from Scratch

Every customer we get is different, and so is their website. From family-run local businesses to national organisations, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to creating a new website, and so we don’t rely on templated designs. Your custom-built website will be designed from scratch, which means we can fine-tune every element of the design and build to make sure that it is fully in line with your goals and expectations.

Web Design & Development FAQs

How long does it take to build a website?

The time it takes to build a website will depend on the size and complexity of the project, but most websites take between 1 and 6 months to build.

A simple brochure-style site with only a few pages might take around 4–8 weeks, while a larger, more complex project, such as an eCommerce site with custom features, can take 4–6 months or longer.

Other factors that influence timing include:

  • scope of design and functionality
  • how quickly content (text, images, video) is provided
  • speed of feedback and approval throughout the process.

Working efficiently with your developer and having content ready early will help keep the project on track.

How much does a new website cost?

The cost of a new website will also depend on various factors, such as complexity, desired features, integrations and design requirements. A basic professional website could cost anywhere between £4,000-£8,000, while for a complex eCommerce site or a custom solution, you might expect to pay anywhere between £10,000 to hundreds of thousands of pounds.

When providing you with a cost estimate, we’ll always take into account your budget as well as your requirements, and provide a fully customised, transparent quote for you.
