Web design frequently asked questions and answers

If you have an existing site, we will absolutely review your current site with you in your Web Project Briefing Session that we do with each new client. We are genuinely interested in helping you get what you need.

During a Blueprint Session Analysis, you’ll learn a lot about your current content, images and how they effect your outcomes. Too many times web agencies will just give your current site a facelift and not make it more effective in ranking better with Google or generate better lead or sales.

A facelift is about what looks like, reimagining it and revitalising it is about performance and outcomes. When someone does a facelift, it won’t last long and you’ll need a new one again soon.

It’s important for you to know whether you’re being offered a truly custom-made website that’s coded and designed from scratch, or a a website built by customising an existing theme/template for a popular content management system (CMS) such as WordPress or Joomla, or a combination of both. Price-wise, a fully custom-made website is the most expensive, followed by a hybrid model, and then by the customised theme. 

We use a hybrid version which gives us better control of creating the right flow and framing for your content and predesigned outcomes. A hybrid model has many advantages that we discuss with you in your briefing session. To discuss your web project, please click here to book a Dance Monkey Blueprint Session. 

Dance Monkey is a hybrid website design system. It is highly customisable, but it is has its limits. That's why Dance Monkey specialises in SMB and Professional Service Business Web Projects. In our clients arena we have not limitations, in fact our system scores very high in customisation as well as having limited need for plug-ins which tend to slow a website down to a crawl. Most customers don’t know exactly what it is they want or need for their website and that is why we spend time explaining exactly how it works and why benefits it provides to you. If you have a very specific design or technology feature request for your website, be sure to ask your Dance Monkey representative to see if we can easily fulfil your request. on what can and cannot be done.

We do not provide a Photoshop file of the website. The reason is simple, we will be working through the content and each engagement element that will go into the site. Because you will see how each element works individually and in your wireframe prior to the build we have found this hands on approach has given our clients a much better understanding of what the site look and feel will be, making the build easy and no surprises for the client when they see the finished site.

85 plus percent of our clients don’t even need to make changes at their site review after the build is done. The remaining percentage need less than 5 changes made before we can go live with their website. To discuss your web project, please click here to book a Dance Monkey Blueprint Session.

Some the content delivered the difference, in others it was the flow and framing of the content and engagement elements. That's the beauty of structure, within it you have the ability to create without the distractions of too many choices.

Such a great question. We don’t believe you can test enough times before a site goes live. We have set in place several planned test points. We start by testing from the content to testing 3 times during the build. We do a specific QA test after the build and prior to you seeing the site. Then we test again before linking your site to the hosting to go live. We provide aftercare as well and for the next 12 months after your site is built, we provide derive and support and tune-ups.
