Delta Force Paintball Feeding into the high-impact ethos of paintballing, the fold of the Delta Force Paintball home page was custom designed to appeal to visitors. The area displays contact details and tabs which showcase that the likes of kids paintballing is available as well as showcasing that there are different Delta Force locations around the country. Potential customers gain this potential element as they can use either the tab or noticeable button to book with Delta Force. A link to an explanatory video is also available within the fold for ease of access. With all of the above available with little to no effort from the website visitor; they are enabled […]

For: Right off the bat, one page websites are ideal for mobile devices as visitors from these devices simply have to scroll to see what they need instead of having to tap and zoom etc. One page websites also keep all of your website content in one place, therefore your branding will be quite evident and arguably quite strong as it is delivered together all in one place. The sequence in which you want your visitors to interact with your content can be set on one page websites. As visitors will obviously have to scroll from the top of the bottom of the page; position what you want them to see first […]

Think of your own mindset when you browse the web. If you were to enter a website and see the words ‘not secure’ pop-up from Google, would you be likely to stay on the site? With the abundance of hackers and viruses online, you may prefer to leave the website and find an alternative more secure website. eCommerce websites will suffer badly here as one cannot imagine many people willing to part with debit and credit card details on a site that is emblazoned with the words ‘not secure’. Due to this update which is due to go live in July 2018 and known as ‘Chrome 68’; it really is imperative that […]

Utilise a Testimonials Page It is a good idea to collate your reviews and testimonials on a single webpage within your website. When you make a sale or close a deal with a client, ask them kindly if they would be willing to provide your business with a testimonial. A simple and effective way to do this is by setting up an auto-responder e-mail to send to those who purchase a product from your online store for example. Collect these reviews and add them to your webpage. With this, your business website now has a dedicated space whereby visitors can browse and read the positive experiences that past clients have had with […]

The Little Miss London website sells a range of beautiful scented candles which are inspired from famous London locations such as Camden and Chelsea. The website makes clever use of the font used in the Little Miss Logo London. Rendered in a loose and expressive style, it is reminiscent of handwriting and this makes a personal link with the website visitor. The initials of ‘L’, ‘M’ and ‘L’ are assembled above the logo to form a crown in a clever (and crowning) design motif. This is a great example of font use that adds to the feel of a website in tandem with the personality of the brand. The Cyclism website relays […]

Shared Servers As the name implies, a shared server means that more than one website is hosted on it. Think of this as a housing estate. Each house sits on its own block of and within the estate. Shared servers work just like this by dedicating a section of the server per website. They are a physical piece of hardware. As with everything, shared servers have their pros and cons. A benefit of a shared server is that they may be more affordable which helps with start-up costs etc. One of the cons however is that if one website on the shared server suffers from a major problem, all of the remaining […]

Examples of Organic SEO Organic SEO are the elements which you do not have to necessarily use a third-party for. They are tasks that you can complete yourself to increase the presence of websites on search engines. A blog entry is an example of organic SEO, as is the creation of a webpage. Once these are both optimised with relevant keywords and meet certain criteria (i.e. a minimum of three-hundred words); these are organically used to increase your websites chances of reaching people online. Adding relevant keywords to the alt text fields of images and having correct meta descriptions are two more examples of organic SEO practices. Organic SEO tasks such as […]

Header Area As the name implies, the header area of a web design occupies the very top of a website. It is mostly used for navigation and may feature tabs and links to bring the user to different areas of the website. Our own header here at the Webheads website is an example of this. Most header sections also remain the same across each webpage so that it acts as a constant navigational anchor across the entire website. On mobile devices, the tabs in the header area usually collapse into what is known as a hamburger menu. Tapping on this expands out the navigational options for mobile users to tap on and […]

When we talk about bespoke website design, it is important to remember the functional element as well as the aesthetic elements. Many different businesses need different features unique to their offerings (i.e. products and services). Our bespoke website design for Planet Hollywood London for example required download links to their menus and also an online booking feature integrated with a live calendar. We implemented this alongside their expressive branding, colours and imagery to deploy a fully functional (and overall fun – in keeping with their brand) bespoke website that continues to convert visitors into customers today. We work with our clients to bring their vision for their website to life. This does […]
