“A first-class service from a designer who really listens to your brief and is very responsive to any last minute changes or tweaks, and seemed to be always at hand.

I give the highest recommendation possible to Kickstart Web Design.”

Web Design FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we meet with you in person?

Of course you can. We welcome meetings at our office in Ballinasloe Enterprise Centre. We’ll have the kettle on!

Which platform is right for me? Shopify or WordPress?

Great question.

As a rule of thumb, if your main focus is selling physical products then look at Shopify.

If you’re a service based business trying to generate new leads then WordPress is best for you.

And if like some of our clients you are doing a mix of both, then you probably need to decide where your main focus lies.

We’re glad to have a chat with you to help you decide and set you on the right path.

What is the process for creating a new website?

We first talk with you to discuss your new website and get an understanding of what’s involved.

Next we provide you with a quote.

Once you’re happy to proceed we’ll have a more in-depth discussion about your goals and ultimately what you want your new website to achieve.

When you have provided us with the content we will then get to work and provide you with an initial draft.

Finally we will complete any revisions, test your new website and then voila, you’re ready to launch your wonderful new website to the world.

How long does it take to build a new website?

You probably guessed the answer – it depends! What we will say is that once we have thoroughly discussed the new design with you and received all the content from you e.g text and images, we will provide you with an initial draft of the website typically within 1 week. We aim to complete all website projects in a maximum of 4 weeks.

What platforms do you work with?

As official Shopify Partners, for ecommerce websites selling physical products we work solely with Shopify. We’ve tested many platforms for ecommerce but Shopify is by far the best with regards ease of use, speed, aesthetics, functionality and more.

For brochure websites and for those selling services, we use WordPress which is the worlds most popular content management system. All our new WordPress websites come with 1 year fast hosting included as well as the premium Divi theme.

How much does a new website cost?

This depends on various factors, for example how many pages are required, how many products you have or is there certain functionality you need. The best thing to do is simply book a discovery call with Joe to discuss HERE and he can provide you with an accurate quote.

Can you help me migrate my website to Shopify or WordPress?

Absolutely. We have migrated many clients successfully to Shopify and WordPress. Maybe your existing website looks outdated or you want more functionality which Shopify or WordPress can provide you with. We can safely migrate all your content and ensure all your search engine rankings are not affected.

Will you help me create the content for my website?

By all means we can help you but nobody can write about your business like you can. But if you are feeling overwhelmed with having to create the content for your new website, yes we can help you with this.

What type of support do you offer after the website is launched?

Dont worry we won’t leave you high and dry. You can receive as much or as little support as you need.

If you’re someone that wants to continually edit your own website we will provide you with training.

On the other hand if you want us to be more active in managing and helping you make your website a success, we can discuss an ongoing affordable maintenance plan.

Do you offer WordPress hosting?

Yes. We will provide you with fast, secure, WordPress hosting. 1 year free hosting is included in every new project.  

What are the costs involved with Shopify?

Shopify’s monthly fee (ex VAT)  is currently €32 per month or €24 per month if you pay annually. There has been much discussion lately about Shopifys price increase but trust me when I say it is still amazing value for money. The ease of use and the abundance of fantastic ecommerce tools it provides makes it the best platform to grow a successful online brand.

Ye seem alright, how do I get started?

Glad you think so. Why not book a quick 20 minute discovery call with Joe to talk about what you have in mind. You can do so by clicking HERE
