Web Design Johannesburg

Looking for web design in Johannesburg? Starcom works with businesses that need a website that looks professional and gives customers the information they are looking for.

A website needs to do more than look good, though. It should work properly on a phone, load without problems and make it easy to find things like your services, contact details and business information.

Website Design for Johannesburg Businesses

Maybe you are starting a new business and need your first website. Or perhaps the website you already have is old and needs an update.

Our standard website package suits small and newly started businesses, especially when price and effectiveness are important. It includes a five-page website for R2,599 excluding VAT, once off, using a standard design template.

You provide the content, images and logo. We take those materials and build the pages around them.

It is a straightforward option for a business that needs a website without going down the route of a fully custom design.

If five pages aren’t enough, that isn’t a problem. Additional pages can be added, and we can also quote for custom design work, new images or other features.

What Does a Business Website Include?

The pages you need will depend on the business, but most sites have some of the basics:

Home page
About us page
Services or products
Contact details
Contact form
Business images
Links to social media

You might need something more than these standard pages. An online shop, for example, can be added if you want customers to buy products and pay online.

We can discuss other features when we put the website together. Features that will make the site more effective including Search results.

Website Hosting and Domain

Before anyone can visit your website, you need a domain and hosting.

The domain is the web address people use to find you. Yourcompany.co.za would be an example.

Hosting is the service that keeps the website files online. Without it, there is no website for visitors to access.

Starcom provides domain registration, hosting and web design. Having these services with the same provider can make things a little easier when you need help or want to make changes.

Your domain is also be used for your business email. An address such as info@yourcompany.co.za gives customers an email address that matches your website.

Mobile-Friendly Web Design

People use their phones for almost everything these days, and websites are no different.

Your website needs to work on a smaller screen as well as a desktop. Visitors should be able to read the text, look at your services and find your contact information without struggling with the page.

The menu and navigation need some thought too. Nobody wants to click through five different pages just to find a telephone number.

Web Design and SEO

Getting the website online is one thing. Getting potential customers to find it is another.

SEO can help your website appear in Google when people search for the products or services your business provides.

It also makes sense to work on SEO while the website is being developed, rather than waiting until the site is finished.

The wording on the pages, the structure of the site and the information you include can all make a difference.

Starcom can help with web design and SEO, so you can handle both parts of your online presence through one company.
