Web Design Agency questions, answered straight.
Still got questions? Our team replies to every enquiry inside 24 hours.
What does a Web Design Agency do?
A Web Design Agency designs and builds your website end-to-end: UX research, visual design, development, content management, hosting setup and post-launch support. A senior Web Design Agency like Whitehat designs for conversion first — every page mapped to one conversion goal and benchmarked against your previous site at 60-day post-launch.
Which platforms do you build on?
Shopify and Shopify Plus for DTC; WordPress + Elementor Pro for content-led marketing sites with lead-gen forms; Webflow for premium marketing sites; and headless (Next.js + Sanity/Contentful) for custom stacks. We pick the platform that matches your scale and your team, not the one our developers prefer.
WordPress or Shopify — which is right for us?
WordPress (which powers roughly 43% of the web) suits content-rich, service and lead-gen sites that need flexibility. Shopify suits online stores: payments, inventory and shipping are built in, so you ship faster. As a rule we recommend WordPress with WooCommerce when you want one CMS for content and a smaller catalogue, and Shopify or Shopify Plus once commerce is the core of the business. We'll recommend the right fit in your free design audit — based on your goals, not our preference.
Can you integrate our website with our CRM, email and payment tools?
Yes — integrations are part of every build. We routinely connect sites to CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce), email platforms (Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign), payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal), booking systems and analytics (GA4, Google Tag Manager), plus almost any tool with an API. We map your stack during discovery so leads, orders and data flow automatically — no manual re-keying between systems.
How long does a website build take?
Standard marketing site: 6–10 weeks from kick-off to launch. eCommerce build: 10–16 weeks depending on integrations. Replatform from one CMS to another: 8–12 weeks. We work in 2-week sprints with weekly demos so you see the site come together — no big-bang launches.
How much does a website cost?
Marketing sites scale with page count, integrations and content production. eCommerce builds sit a tier above. We quote fixed-price after the discovery sprint so there are no surprise invoices.
Do you do design only, or design + development?
Both — and we recommend keeping them together. The best-converting sites have the same team designing and building, because every design decision has a development cost and every development constraint shapes design. We can hand off design files to your in-house dev team if needed.
Can you redesign or refresh our existing site?
Yes — website design refreshes and full rebuilds both. We run “refresh” engagements (visual + UX update on existing CMS, 4–8 weeks) and “rebuild” engagements (new platform, new design system, full replatform, 8–16 weeks). We'll recommend the right shape after a free design audit.
Do you provide hosting and ongoing support?
We don't resell hosting (we recommend Kinsta, WP Engine or Shopify's native hosting depending on the build), but we set it up, configure CDN/SSL and hand over fully documented. Ongoing support is available on a monthly retainer or pay-as-needed basis.
Do you offer affordable web design for small businesses?
Yes. Our small business web design comes as fixed-price web design packages quoted after a short discovery sprint so there are no surprise invoices. Affordable doesn't mean templated — every small business site is still mapped to one conversion goal and built to lift conversion 187% on average. We also build for tradies, schools and other industries.
Do you build custom, responsive and mobile-first websites?
Every build is custom web design — your brand, your conversion goals — not a recycled theme, and every site is fully responsive and mobile-first, since most traffic now arrives on a phone. We design on the right platform for you, including WordPress web design, and engineer for SEO and speed from the start, hitting 2.1s average mobile load. White-hat only, since 2013.
Everything else we run in-house.
