Website Design & Development

Bespoke Websites

Dean Rice Design Co. Logo

Thoughtful, well-built websites designed around your business.

Clear, fast and built to support how you actually work.

Overview

Each website is designed and built specifically for the project. Not pre-made or forced into a template.

The process covers both the design and development of the site, along with the structure, performance and technical setup needed for it to work properly long term.

The aim is to create something that looks right, works properly and supports your business in a practical way.

The Process

Every project follows a simple, structured process.

You are asked to approve the work in each phase before moving onto the next.


Discovery
I start your website project by understanding your business, what you need and who the website is for.
By understanding what your customers want, and what their fears or worries are, we can authentically create content that converts visitors into enquiries.


Keyword Research and Page Planning
Knowing which keywords and search terms are the most popular allows us to plan the pages accordingly.


Content Creation & Copywriting
During this phase I am writing out the wording for the pages, gathering or creating the images & graphics and planning the meta info for SEO.

Website Design
This is where you can see how your website will look on different devices through different visual mockups.

Website Development
This is the coding and the actual building of your website.
You can preview it, use it and test it on a private link until you're happy to go live with it.

Website Hosting & Management
Fast, reliable is available.
For those who require it, management plans can take care of backups, updates and general maintenance.

Built for Performance

Most websites I build are built using Next.js.

This allows for faster load times, better performance and a more reliable setup compared to many traditional approaches.

The focus is on keeping things efficient, stable and built in a way that will continue to work well as your business grows.

Built with SEO in Mind

Good SEO starts with how a website is built.

Each site is structured with clean code, clear page hierarchy and properly set metadata.

Performance, accessibility and technical setup are all considered from the beginning.

This provides a solid foundation for visibility in search engines, without relying on shortcuts or quick fixes.

Clear, Considered Content

A website isn’t just how it looks, it’s how it communicates.

Where needed, guidance is provided on content and structure to help make sure your message is clear and relevant to your audience.

The aim is to keep things simple, easy to understand and aligned with how your business actually works.

Content Marketing

Content marketing is the process of creating useful, relevant content that helps people understand what you do and how you can help.

This might include articles, guides, or insights that answer common questions or explain parts of your service.

Over time, this helps build trust, improves visibility in search engines and brings the right people to your website. It’s a steady, long-term approach rather than a quick fix.
