Website Design.
Here at Blue Whale Media, we know how to help you grow your business. We design engaging, creative and highly-functional websites that will grab the attention of your visitors and compel them to find out more about your business. A well designed website will give you that competitive edge and will provide your potential client with the information they need to make an informed enquiry.
Our creative team specialise in unique website designs using today’s modern methods. We specialise in highly custom designs which allow our clients to create the exact website they want. We do not use a template and all designs are created in PDF version with our graphic design team first. We focus on ensuring SEO improvements or setup, to help our clients drive marketing strategies for increased engagement once a website has gone live. Our goal is to create a customer journey that builds brand awareness and converts viewers into buying customers be that for a service or a product.
Our Web Design Services.
Bespoke Websites
Our UK web design team has more than 50 years’ combined experience, designing websites that demand the users attention and persuade visitors to contact you. All our websites are bespoke builds, not templated, to ensure that they meet your business needs. This allows us to convey your brand to the user easily and professionally. We invest time in getting to know you so we understand your business and website requirements.
Unique Solutions
We use a variety of web design platforms to enable us to choose the platform that suits your design needs, but more about that later. With a Blue Whale Media website you’ll enjoy a bespoke, responsive website that’s fully optimised for all search engines. Whether you want a revamp of your existing website to improve the functionality, enhance the content or create a truly eye-catching aesthetic design, rest assured, Blue Whale Media can provide it all.
Our Web Design Philosophy.
We don’t adopt a one-size-fits all approach. Every one of our websites has its own unique DNA. We don’t use templates nor do we recycle design elements. Our website design team is highly-skilled. This means that we do not go straight to front-end design. We ensure you have gone through a Design process with our Graphics team to ensure every page of the website is as you want it before we develop on into a live format.
We then develop on a development environment so that we can showcase the website to you once built and showcase any live functionality. This is a great way for you to see your website come to life and make minor functionality changes.
Once you are happy with the build we then push your website to a live URL and your marketing plan can be put into action.
Unlike most UK web design agencies we don’t just hand you the keys (passwords) and let you go we have taken the time to develop an online training portal, which is full of training videos to help you learn how to use and update your website.
We also have a dedicated support team and support board which you can submit amendments and additional development work through for us to action or quote you for.
Our Web Design Process.
A successful website design is the result of collaboration. Two heads are better than one. Four heads are better than two. Our extensive team works together to create stunning websites that deliver real value to your business. From content and graphic design to social media integration and on page Search Engine Optimisation, your website will have all the elements working together in perfect harmony to enhance your businesses online presence.
WordPress Experts.
You may know that WordPress is a blogging platform, but did you know it’s so much more than that? WordPress is the most used platform by website designers across the globe. At the last count (2014) the amount of websites using WordPress stood at 74.5 Million! WordPress currently holds the top position in the Content Management System market, commanding over 59.4% of all websites. Leaving other platforms to fight over the remaining positions. Joomla is second in line with only 2.7% of the market. It’s no big surprise based on those statistics that 98% of all Blue Whale Media’s websites are built in WordPress, including this one. WordPress offers a wealth of features allowing our team to create stunning websites. But it’s not just a pretty face, WordPress is loved by search engines. Its clean code allows search engine bots to easily crawl your website to ensure it can index and rank so your user’s can find you.

Retainer Websites
from £9,500 +vat
90 day contract
The size and complexity of the website will directly influence the costs involved with building the website*.
Websites built on a flexible open source platform that allows your site to grow and change with your business.
Custom amount of website pages with content written or current content rewritten.
Photoshop designs of each page with two sets of amendments, one set of post production design amendments per page.
Retainer websites are hand-built by our own in-house developers, retainer websites are superfast and of a bespoke design, like no other on the web.
As you add rich features such as images, videos and content, you can expect more leads and sales, but this comes with a higher build cost of course, sometimes two to three times this base cost.
A good lead generation website lasts around 2 years – so the cost including hosting often equates to around £500/mth over that time.
It is possible to build using off-the-shelf systems, but this approach does not generate the same visibility, leads or sales for your business or brand.
We perform top level security, maintenance and updates on a routine basis.
*Starting at £9,500, but price will vary depending on the spec of the website.
