Web Design Services
Responsive Web Design
Choosing the right type of website is very important for a brand, and it is all determined by the type of business you operate and your target market.
DigiZen takes all these factors into consideration during our initial consultation with you. We then tailor a package and create a Website that is designed to grow at a pace that suits your needs and your budget.
We design all our websites using RWD (Responsive Web Design) with a “Mobile-first” Design Approach.
What type of website do you need?
SINGLE PAGE WEBSITE
BUSINESS PROFILE
If you’re an artisan, Plumber, Electrician etc. and you offer an essential service, you may only require a Single-Page Website. A Business Profile that lists your services, the area you cover and most importantly, your contact information.
MULTI PAGE WEBSITE
You may require a Website that gives an in-depth description of your business operation, you credentials, your history, the products and/or services that you offer and your contact information.
WEBSITE WITH A ECOMMERCE ON-LINE WEB-SHOP
You may even be ready to put your products on-line, NOW! In which case, you will need an eCommerce On-Line Shop with a secure payment gateway that offers both EFT and credit card payments.
WEBSITE WITH A CART-TO-QUOTE SYSTEM
If you offer products or services with that fluctuate due to the nature of the product having to be sourced elsewhere, customised products or your product or service varies due to the different options you can offer your clients, then a Cart-to-Quote System with no payment gateway is the perfect solution for your business.
WEBSITE WITH A EMAIL MARKETING SYSTEM
A basic information website that uses a simple interface which combines email marketing with content curation. You are able to create newsletters and mailshots to your client list without spamming them. Attracting customers is important, but you need to keep them coming back. Email marketing has stood the test of time and proven itself to be an effective method of communication, if used correctly.

Mobile-first
design approach
As mobile devices become more ubiquitous for web browsing, the importance of responsive design and mobile optimisation has become crucial. Simple websites excel in this environment because they’re easier to adjust to smaller screens and slower internet connections. By focusing on vital content and simplifying navigation, this approach to design renders a smooth and pleasant user experience across all devices. Businesses can therefore expand their reach, increase engagement, and achieve their objectives more successfully.
Domain Registration
A Domain Name is the address of your website that people type in the browser’s URL bar to visit your website. In other words, if your website was a house, then your domain name will be its address.
We can assist you with choosing a domain name that is suitable for your business address on the internet and we also do domain registrations and annual renewals on your behalf.
Should you choose to register the domain yourself, do consider these factors: Choosing a Domain Name
Keeping it simple
is here to stay!
The trend toward designing simple websites is not just a passing phase. This is reflected by user preferences and the broader shifts in technology and design philosophy. Focusing on user experience (UX) is now a fundamental factor. Simple, uncluttered websites achieve this by cutting down load times, and presenting information clearly and intuitively. This streamlined approach ensures visitors can navigate easily and find what they need swiftly. In today’s era of short attention spans and intense online competition, simplicity is key to capturing and maintaining user engagement effectively.
Digital Marketing Systems
Each business grows at it’s own individual pace. There may be budget constraints initially and this may mean that you only wish to implement Digital Marketing Systems as your business grows.
Having a WordPress CMS website custom created by us, offers you the opportunity to add Digital Marketing features as and when you’re ready to use them.
This highlights the importance of planning and strategy. Every aspect of life needs to be built on a strong foundation. Growth will then only require compatible add-on features to your website, not a complete rebuild!
