Website Design & Development
Find an online space for your business to call home. Reef Visuals provides website design and development services through the Squarespace platform, meaning you’ll save thousands on a website that you will be able to confidently manage for years to come.
Every business of every size deserves a beautiful, functional website. At the same time, we understand that a custom coded, expensive website may not be feasible in your small business budget. At Reef Visuals, we offer a middle of the road service to small businesses looking to design or redesign their website.
Your Online Storefront
Think of your website as your business’ storefront on the internet. It’s the “physical” place your customers visit you when they search for your services online. It’s crucial that you can be found easily through google searches and that it provides a well-rounded understanding of what your business does, how you help your customers, and how you stand apart from your competitors.
The vast majority of small business websites describe their services but then stop there. What are they missing? These websites fail to show the value your business is providing to your customers. We have to show value in order to turn potential customers into paying customers.
How Can You Provide Value On a Budget?
How is it possible to have a beautiful, functional website without the $10,000 price tag? That’s what Reef Visuals offers through the Squarespace website platform. Essentially, our website design process provides you with a customized Squarespace website that achieves your business goals in a simple, affordable way.
What is Squarespace? This online design program offers inexpensive website hosting through a builder that is much easier to use than coding a website from scratch. Squarespace was originally designed for business owners to create their own websites using their platform. However, many small business owners still desire the help from a graphic designer to help them through the process.
Are Squarespace websites just template websites? Yes and no. While templates are the starting point for site designs, Reef Visuals is experienced in custom Squarespace designs that are tailored to your business and customer base. This means that Squarespace is simply a platform on which we will build your customized, functional website at a very low cost (annual hosting costs can be as low as $200 per year). Depending on the size of your business, an expensive, custom coded website may simply not yet be necessary for growth.
One of our favorite aspects of this tool is that business owners can learn to edit their own websites after their initial launch. This gives you the power to update your own content easily without needing to hire graphic designers in the future, contributing to your fully sustainable coral reef. The Reef Visuals team will always be here to help, but our goal is to help you feel independent and confident in making your own visual decisions as you build your business.
The Reef Visuals Website Process
We consult with you as the business owner to develop a “site-map” or layout for the pages and content your website will need. After discovering exactly what your business needs to grow, we create a powerful, effective website that you will be able to review, suggest edits, and ultimately approve.
After your site launches, we will train you to make your own edits in the future so that this investment is valuable to you for years to come.
