What goes into a Future Faced website?

Every website covers the things needed to take it from an idea through to a finished site that’s ready to be found.

Website strategy

Understanding your business, customers, competitors and goals before deciding what the website needs to do.

Structure and content

Planning the pages, navigation and content around what your customers need and what they’re searching for.

Web design

Design built around your business and brand, starting with the key pages before carrying the direction across the site.

WordPress development

Responsive WordPress development across desktop, tablet and mobile, with the functionality agreed before we start.

SEO foundations

Page structure, headings, metadata, internal linking, indexing and performance considered throughout the build.

What's not included

Ongoing SEO, branding, photography and specialist functionality aren’t included as standard. If you need them, we’ll agree that before the project starts.

Built to be found

A new website needs people visiting it.

That’s why search is considered while we’re planning the structure, rather than being left until the website is finished.

We’ll look at what potential customers are actually searching for and whether those searches should influence the pages we create.

For some businesses, the foundations are enough. Others want Google to become a proper source of enquiries and continue with ongoing SEO after the site launches.

It’s something we can handle alongside the website, so the work stays connected.

How the website process works

Most website projects take around 3 to 6 weeks.

You’ll know what stage we’re at throughout the project and what I need from you to keep things moving.

Intro call

We’ll talk through the business, your current website and what you’re looking to change. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll put together the scope, timeline and fixed project price.

We’ll get into the business, your customers, competitors, services and goals. This gives us the context we need before planning the website.

We’ll plan the sitemap, key pages and how people move through the site. We’ll also look at what your customers are searching for and where that should influence the structure.

We’ll establish the visual direction using the key pages first. Once that’s agreed, we’ll carry it across the rest of the website before development begins.

The approved designs are built in WordPress across desktop, tablet and mobile. You’ll be able to review the working website and give feedback before launch.

We’ll check forms, tracking, responsive layouts, performance and SEO setup before the site goes live. Once everything’s ready, we’ll launch it.

Highly recommend using Future Faced. I contacted Dan after a website failure from a previous company and Dan work his magic, not only did he assist with fixing everything, but he completely rebuilt our website, and did it so quickly. Most web developers would turn down this type of project- But dan was more than willing to help. We have continued to work with Future Faced on a number of other projects and we haven’t been disappointed. If you are looking for a well presented website that is easy to navigate then Dan is the guy you need.

How much does a website cost?

Future Faced website projects start from £2,000

The final price depends on the size of the website, functionality, content requirements and the amount of strategy and design involved. We’ll work that out before the project starts and agree a fixed price.

If we quote £4,500, that’s what the project costs. You won’t be billed by the hour every time something takes a little longer than expected.

If you’re still working out what you should be spending, we’ve put together a full breakdown of the different options and typical costs.

Who does the work

You work directly with me from first call to launch. Nothing is passed to juniors.

I’m Dan, founder of Future Faced. I handle the strategy and direction throughout the project and stay involved through to launch.

If a project needs a specialist, I’ll bring the right person in while keeping the strategy and direction with me.

Either way, the problem isn't the business. It's that the website isn't showing how good the business actually is.

Most of our clients come to us knowing something isn't working. Maybe they're losing work to competitors who just look more established. Maybe they're embarrassed to send someone to their site.

Ones that communicate clearly, build trust quickly, and turn visitors into enquiries. Not by following a formula, but by understanding what makes each business worth choosing.

Most founders we work with are brilliant at what they do. Their website just doesn't show it. We build websites that reflect the true quality of the business behind them.
