Web Design FAQs
Many website designers have some fundamental SEO knowledge and do incorporate SEO best practices when building new sites. However, thorough ongoing search optimization requires dedicated expertise beyond traditional web design.
At our agency, our web design team deeply partners with seasoned in-house SEO professionals to maximize results. So while our designers consider critical elements like site architecture, URL structure and page speed in development, our SEO team drives the constant analysis, content enhancements, link building, and algorithm shift adaptations needed to continually increase organic visibility and traffic.
We believe blending specialized teams is imperative for website design success. Contact us to learn more about how we structure our web design/SEO service model to deliver ongoing impact and ROI.
When applied to web design, SEO represents the technical structures and presentation elements that make a website readable and relevant to search engines like Google. This establishes the underlying site architecture for visibility.
Some key areas our web designers factor SEO into include:
- Clean URL structures and page naming
- Optimized page speed/load times
- Proper heading tag hierarchy
- Effective image alt text
- Strategic internal linking
- Responsive mobile platforms
- Schema.org markup implementation
While on-page efforts set the table, expert SEO teams drive the ongoing enhancements across content, backlinks and user signals that enable brands to fully capitalize through higher rankings, visibility and organic traffic volumes. Our collaborative web builder/SEO approach continuously elevates and optimizes websites after launch.
The cost to have a professional website designed can range quite significantly based on the project scope, features required, visual design customization level, and specialized functionality needs among other variables. Most basic brochure-style websites with standard templates may run anywhere from $500 to $5,000 or more.
Completely custom designed sites with robust backends containing eCommerce, memberships, online booking systems, dynamic layouts, and advanced interactivity tend to fall in the $10,000 to $50,000+ range in many cases.
While each agency or freelancer will price based on unique value propositions, typically website design costs come down to:
- Project complexity
- Custom vs. template builds
- Specialized function needs
- Visual branding investment
- Content population workload
During consultations, we assess these variables transparently to determine an appropriate website design budget aligned to deliverables. Contact us for an obligation-free estimate based on the parameters for your specific brand goals and requirements.
Our customized website design services span the full spectrum of required capabilities to deliver a complete, impactful online presence for brands.
Standard website design project components include:
- Initial strategy/planning
- Technical architecture
- Platform selection & configuration
- Visual brand identity design
- Site information architecture
- Page layout construction
- Core page production
- Basic SEO integration
We then personalize deliverables based on augmentation needs around:
- Extended content population
- eCommerce functionalities
- Memberships & premium content hubs
- Interactive features like calculators
- Data visualizations & advanced reporting
- Directory integration
- Events calendar programming
- And more…

Direction's Website Design Process
Direction has developed an intricate web design process to develop winning websites that deliver optimum results. Here’s a walk through the different stages of our custom web design and development process:
During our initial consultation, our project managers determine your target customers, marketing goals, needs and demands. In this stage, we set your expectations, answer your queries, explain the different stages of your custom website design creation and provide initial custom web design pricing. Doing so ensures we are on the right track.

Nulla mollis ullamcorper nunc eu ultricies. Suspendisse lobortis erat vitae libero gravida, in ultrices ex varius. Duis ac lacinia ipsum.
Strategy development serves as the basis of our next course of action. During this phase, we analyze all the data from the kick off, create a proposal, develop proposed site mock-ups and meet with your project manager for approval. The goal is to come up with a comprehensive action plan for the development stage.
This phase covers site development, content optimization and on-site SEO. We ensure all elements of your website, such as your logo design, color scheme and interactive site elements, reflect your branding. Once we’ve completed the front-end and back-end development, we meet with you again for a final site review and revision, if there’s any.
