Web Design FAQs
Answers to common questions about our web design services.
How long does it take to design and build a website?
Most websites take 4-8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Simple sites can be faster (2-3 weeks), while complex e-commerce or web applications may take 12+ weeks. We'll give you a precise timeline during our discovery call.
Do you design websites for businesses outside Chester?
Absolutely! While we're proudly based in Chester, we work with clients across the UK and internationally. Our process works seamlessly remotely through video calls, shared design tools, and clear communication.
Will my website be mobile-friendly?
Every website we build is fully responsive and mobile-first. With over 60% of web traffic coming from mobile devices in 2026, mobile optimization isn't optional—it's essential for your success.
Can I update the website myself after launch?
Yes! We build with user-friendly content management systems and provide comprehensive training. You'll be able to update text, images, and add new content without touching code.
Do you provide hosting and maintenance?
We offer managed hosting packages starting at £30/month that include security updates, backups, SSL certificates, and performance monitoring. Alternatively, we can help you set up your own hosting.
What's the difference between web design and web development?
Web design focuses on the visual aspects—layout, colors, typography, user experience. Web development is the coding that makes the design functional. At Hand On Web, we do both—creating beautiful designs and building them with clean, efficient code.
How do you ensure my website ranks well on Google?
We bake SEO into every site: fast loading speeds, clean code structure, proper heading hierarchy, schema markup, optimized images, and mobile responsiveness. For ongoing SEO, check out our SEO services.
What if I'm not happy with the design?
We work collaboratively with unlimited revisions on our Professional packages until you're thrilled. We don't move to development until you've approved the designs, ensuring you get exactly what you envision.
Do you work with WordPress or just custom builds?
We're experts in both! We use WordPress for clients who need easy content updates and a familiar interface. For maximum performance and flexibility, we recommend Next.js. We'll advise the best choice for your needs.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes! Website redesigns are one of our specialties. We analyze what's working, identify improvements, and create a fresh design that preserves your brand while dramatically improving performance and conversions.
