During our discovery, we will discuss this in detail to ensure Power On Media can create a customised website that perfectly represents your business. Ideally you will provide the following content: Company Information -

Details about your business, including your mission statement, core values, and a brief history. This helps us understand your brand identity and goals. Contact Information -

Provide the contact details you would like listed on the website (e.g., phone number, email address, physical address, and any social media links). Bio/Team Information -

Profiles and photos of key team members, including their roles and any professional qualifications or experiences that highlight your team's expertise. Products/Services Descriptions -

Detailed descriptions of the products or services your business offers. Highlight any unique selling points and provide high-quality images if available. Customer Testimonials -

Provide quotes or reviews from satisfied customers to build credibility and trust with site visitors. Brand Assets -

High-resolution versions of your logo, brand colours, fonts, and any other visual elements that reflect your brand’s identity. Content Plan -

Any specific messaging, calls to action, or promotional content you want on the site, including blog posts, newsletters, or case studies. Website Structure -

An idea of the layout or navigation structure you prefer, such as the main menu items and how you want the pages to be organized. Legal Information -

Terms and conditions, privacy policy, and any other disclaimers that need to be included on the site. By providing as much of this content as possible, you'll enable us to design a website that accurately and effectively represents your business, ensuring a strong online presence and achieving your goals.

The time it takes to build a website really depends on what you need and how complex things get. For a typical business site, you're usually looking at around 4 to 8 weeks. This includes chatting about your needs, drafting up designs, building the site, testing it out, and making any final tweaks. If you need something more advanced with extra features, it might take longer, maybe up to 12 weeks or more. We focus on delivering a high-quality, custom site that fits your business perfectly, making sure every detail is just right.

At Power On Media, we've got your back when it comes to making sites that are both awesome to look at and SEO friendly. We know how crucial SEO is for bringing traffic to your site. We're a web design company that builds custom websites with all the basic SEO essentials, like good site structure, fast loading speeds, mobile-friendliness, and clean code. We also take care of the meta tags, image alt texts, and keyword use to boost your site's search engine visibility. Our mission is to help you draw in more visitors and climb those search engine rankings, making sure your website is a solid growth tool for your business.

For specialist SEO and campaigns we will introduce you to a partner we work with.

We get how crucial mobile accessibility is these days and make sure your website looks great and works smoothly on all devices.

When you team up with us, you can count on your website being mobile-friendly and super easy to navigate, no matter what device your visitors are using.

Absolutely! Every site we build comes with an easy-to-use Content Management System (CMS) that lets you update and manage your content without needing to be a tech whiz.

At Power On Media, we get that transparency and trust are super important in any business deal. So, our payment plan reflects that. After we chat about your project and pin down the details, we ask for a 50% deposit upfront to hold your spot in our schedule. This first payment lets us kick off the design and development. The other 50% is due once the website is done and you give it the thumbs up. This way, you're happy with everything before the final payment and site goes live. We also have flexible payment plans depending on how complex your project is. If you have any specific payment questions or needs, just bring them up when we first talk. We want to make the whole process as easy and straightforward as possible for you.
