Website Design

What makes a Four Lakes website different? In essence it boils down to the following principles that we apply to every single customer project…

Suitable

Before we start any website design work, we take time to talk to you. To discover how your new website fits into your overall marketing plan. What your goals are for traffic and, most importantly, sales. Only then can we design the right site for your needs.

Modern

Our development process allows us to utilise the latest developments in web design. That means your site will look fresh and modern, presenting your business in the best light possible.

Maintainable

Creating a website is often the easy part. Keeping the website up-to-date with news, events and changes in the way your business works often falls by the wayside because it’s too difficult. Not with a Four Lakes website! We give you an easy-to-use admin panel that lets you easily update the stuff you need to, when you need to!

Effective

To be effective, a website needs to attract visitors. We provide each website with powerful SEO facilities, integration with your chosen social media platforms, and market leading analytics tools. You’ll be able to drive traffic to your website, and understand what works and what doesn’t. The rest is down to you!

The process

Unexpected surprises can sometimes be great, but in website projects we like to avoid them. Our process ensures everyone knows what to expect from the start, and allows us to deliver your hard-working website on time and to your complete satisfaction.

  • Scoping

    An initial conversation allows us to understand your needs, and to input our thoughts on the best way to achieve them

  • Quote

    A clear and concise quote, so you know your outlay

  • Contract

    Laying out the responsibilities both parties have to the project’s success

  • Agree design

    Whether it’s our design or yours, it needs to be agreed early in the process

  • Provide copy & images

    No-one knows your business like you do, but we can help refine the way it is presented

  • Review site

    There are always some minor tweaks once the site is ready for review

  • Go live

    Pop the champagne, your site is ready to work hard for your business!

Some of our work

We lavish a lot of hard work and no small amount of pride on our websites. We know our customers like them, we hope you do too.

Happy customers

Nothing was too much trouble. Colman had the patience of a Saint to those unversed in current techno speak! Excellent empathy and understanding of the clients specific industry. Colman was proactive towards the clients requirements and the follow up service was great – all in all – highly recommended. Thank you!

I hired Four Lakes to develop a website for my coaching business and have been delighted with the result. I was not an easy client, in that I didn’t have a clearly defined idea of what I wanted, but at the same time knew very strongly what I didn’t like. Colman cleverly translated my somewhat woolly brief into what I feel is a fresh, clean, inviting, non-gimmicky website that gives a very authentic sense of who I am and what I do.

Colman was great at the detail, super-fast on delivery, hugely patient and very responsive when it came to tweaks and changes along the way. I really liked the way he pushed back and redirected me if he sensed I was veering off-track, and also his creativity in finding solutions to any areas that weren’t yet quite as I wanted them. He was also very good at explaining things in layman’s terms for my non-technical brain. I can highly recommend him and his company’s services!

Four Lakes provided an excellent service with great attention to detail. The work carried out for us was very competitively priced. I would not hesitate to use their services again.

My experience with Four Lakes was positive from the start. Communication was open and transparent, coupled with pragmatic and forward thinking advice and guidance.

Four Lakes adopt a fully participative approach in all design and construction interventions. My specification was manifested easily and all technical challenges were overcome with ease. At the same time knowledge was shared and not guarded. This has created a continuous and sustainable learning curve which will allow me to evolve the site.

Overall, I felt fully supported in realising my vision to create an e-commerce solution in the realm of people practice. If you want a quality assured web design solution, with an excellent support service, go to Four Lakes.

Great service! Four Lakes clearly explained the process, what they would do and what they would need from me. They gave a very competitive price estimate and stuck to it.

We collaborated during the website build, reviewing and altering features and designs to produce a great final version that can be managed in-house. I was (and remain) very impressed indeed!

I’ve been working with Colman for the past 6 months and he is highly skilled, very reliable, and most of all tolerant of my endless ideas for new projects! I am delighted to recommend him without reservation. As such, if you decide to work together it will be a very wise decision.

Plus Your Business

Working with Colman from Four Lakes has been easy, successful and I’d even go so far as to say fun!

I thought I knew a bit about building web sites but Colman has a depth of knowledge I wasn’t able to find anywhere else. When Colman takes on a project he really goes the extra mile and shows you more intuitive ways of working with your customers and using an online presence to greater effect. He’s full of ideas and, super helpful for me, puts things in plain English so I can understand it all. He’s always at the end of the phone or email and responds swiftly to any queries I may have had throughout the process and continues to help me out with technicalities beyond the original brief.

I totally recommend Colman and Four Lakes highly to anyone wanting web assistance. I vote him 5 stars all round, a retweet, favourited, google plus’d and a definite “like” button from a firm fan!

I asked Four Lakes to help boost the traffic to my website, which had great content but a disappointing number of visitors.

Following a behind-the-scenes revamp the site is now easier for visitors to navigate around, as well as being friendlier to search engines. I also have a simple but effective plan for creating new content.

As a result, three months after the relaunch visitor numbers have tripled!

Thank you very much.

Colman’s services were recommended to me to develop a replacement new web site, which is something that I had been putting off doing for a long time.

I found him very approachable and flexible and quite good at explaining the options available to me in everyday language.

The new site was delivered within the expected timescale and I am pleased with the improved representation of my company on the web.

After a few months have gone by since re-launch, I now have more leads and more relevant work leads than were generated by my old site, even though my previous site came up on page 1 on Google for my search terms.

Colman has also shown me how to use WordPress and Mailchimp to write blogs and send newsletters, neither of which I had done before, and both of which are undoubtedly improving my company profile further.

I would be happy to recommend Colman’s service to any other SME like mine.

From start to finish, I had a fantastic experience working with Colman and Four Lakes! Not only does Colman have a great eye for design and functionality, but he also provides excellent insight into marketing strategies.

He was extremely communicative and receptive throughout the entire design process, and I felt fully supported in my vision.

The website has exceeded my expectations in every way. I would highly recommend Colman and his services!
