Website design
Bespoke website design
Every site we design starts from a blank page, not a template. We design it around your business and the people you want to reach, and you see it before anything is built.

What goes into the design
Everything a visitor sees and touches, decided for your business. Six things we design for on every page.
Pages planned around your customers
We work out what people come to your site to do, then design each page so they can do it quickly. The route from arriving to calling, booking or buying is planned before anything is drawn.
Your look, not a theme
Colours, type, pictures and layout chosen for your business, so the site looks like you and nobody else. No brand yet? We can make one with you.
Every screen at once
Designed for phones, tablets and laptops together, not squeezed down afterwards. Your customers could find you on any of them, so every page has to work on all three.
Motion with a reason
Things move to guide the eye and show what's clickable. We make the motion ourselves, so it stays smooth, and it stays still for anyone whose device asks for less motion.
Written for people and for search
Clear headings and the words your customers actually search for, so people and search engines read the page the same way. Every page gets its own title and description.
Accessible from the start
Contrast, type sizes and keyboard focus checked while we design, not patched at the end. A site everyone can use is a site more people can buy from.
Why bespoke, and not a template?
A template is designed for everyone, so it fits no one well. You end up bending your business to fit the theme, and your site looks like thousands of others.
Bespoke means the site is shaped around what you sell and how your customers decide. It also means there's nothing in it you don't need, which keeps it quick to load.
Bespoke doesn't mean slow. Most sites take two to nine weeks, depending on their size.

How the design stage works
We start with one page, usually your home page. You see it designed, tell us what you'd change, and we build the rest from it.
That way nothing big changes late, and the price we gave you after the first call holds. When the design is right, our development turns it into the real site.
First pageYour first page
Usually the home page, designed in full: words, pictures, colours and type, on a phone and a laptop.
Your comments
You tell us what you'd change. We change it and show you again, until the page feels like yours.
The rest of the site
Every other page follows the first, so the whole site feels like one place and nothing big changes late.
Built by us
Three sites, three different looks.
Each one designed from a blank page, so each one looks like its own business, not like us and not like a theme.
Questions people ask.
Anything else? hello@darbcreative.com. We reply within one working day.
What is bespoke website design?
A website designed from a blank page for one business, rather than a ready-made template shared by many sites. It's the only kind we do.
Will I see the design before you build it?
Yes. You see your first page designed before we build the rest, so nothing big changes late.
Will my website work on phones?
Yes. Every page is designed for phones, tablets and laptops at the same time.
How much does bespoke website design cost?
It depends on how many pages you need and what you already have. After the call we give you one clear price, before any work starts.
How long does it take?
Usually two to nine weeks, depending on the size of the website.
Can I edit the website myself?
Yes. It goes live with one page of instructions and an email invite to edit it.
