Your Guide to a Seamless Website Design Experience
Frequently Asked Questions
Explore our comprehensive FAQ section to learn more about how DESC Designs can bring your vision to life with a customised website.
What is included in each website design package?
Each package includes a custom-designed website tailored to your business needs, complete with responsive design, SEO optimisation, and 12 months of ongoing support. After that, continued support can be arranged through a support package or hourly rate.
What type of business do you work with?
We work with all kinds of businesses, from small startups to well-established companies, customising our services to fit each client’s unique needs. We’ve also found a special niche with local sporting clubs, including football, cricket, tennis, and their sporting incorporated clubs.
How Does The Design Process Work ?
Here’s how we’ll work together to create your website:
-
Getting Inspired
We’ll ask you to share a few websites you like (don’t worry, we won’t copy them!) — this helps us get a feel for your style and what you’re drawn to. - Initial Layout & Feedback
Next, we’ll show you a rough layout (a “design skeleton”) and ask for your thoughts. Your feedback helps shape the direction from here. -
Tweaks & Refinement
Using your feedback, we’ll refine the design until you’re 100% happy and ready to move forward. -
Building the Site
Once the design is approved, we’ll get to work building the website and bringing it all to life. -
Making Sure You’re Happy
As we build, we’ll stay in touch and make adjustments along the way to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the end result. -
Sticking to the Plan
Once the design is locked in and we start building, any big design changes outside the agreed scope might incur extra costs — but don’t worry, we’ll always talk to you first before anything is added.
Our goal is to create a website you’ll love — one that’s unique to your business and works beautifully. If you have any questions along the way, we’re always here to help.
Do you offer e-commerce solutions?
Yes, our advanced packages come equipped with robust e-commerce functionality, enabling you to seamlessly sell a variety of products directly from your website and provide your customers with a convenient shopping experience.
How long does it take to complete a website?
Timelines can vary depending on the package and complexity of the project, but most websites are completed within 4 to 8 weeks. If you need your site ready sooner, we do offer an expedited service for an additional fee.
Will my website be mobile-friendly?
All of our designs are fully responsive and tailored for mobile devices, guaranteeing a smooth and enjoyable user experience.
Can I upgrade my package later?
Absolutely! You can upgrade at any time to unlock more features and services as your business evolves.
Is there a limit to the number of pages I can have?
Our packages offer flexibility, allowing you to modify the number of pages to suit your individual requirements.
I Already Have Hosting, a Domain & Email?
No problem at all! There are plenty of options, so just get in touch with us, and we’ll figure out the best setup for you based on what you have.

Can I Update My Website Once It Is Live?
Of course! We want you to feel confident managing your website. Once your site is live, here’s how we’ve got you covered:
-
Training Session (Optional): If you’d like, we can offer a training session to walk you through the basics of updating your website. This way, you’ll feel comfortable handling routine changes on your own.
-
Help with Bigger Updates: If you need help with more complex changes, we’re always here for you! Our team can take care of those updates for you at our standard hourly rate, or you can check out our service packages for a more budget-friendly option.

Free Basic Updates & Backup (1 year): For the first year from the start of work on your site (not from when it goes live), we offer free basic updates and backups.
At DESC Designs, we’re here to support you long after your website is launched. Whether you want to manage things yourself or need a hand with more complex tasks, we’ve got you covered.
Is it true that the website needs to be kept updated after the site is finished and live?
Absolutely! 100%
Keeping your WordPress website, plugins, and themes up-to-date is super important, even if you’re not making changes to your site regularly. These updates help keep everything secure, improve performance, and ensure everything works smoothly with the latest features.
We totally get that managing updates yourself can feel like a hassle. That’s why we offer a range of packages to handle all the updates for you. With our packages, you can relax knowing your website will always be in great shape, with everything kept current and running at its best.
Our goal is to give you peace of mind and top-notch website management. Whether you decide to manage updates on your own or choose one of our packages, we’re here to help you get the most out of your WordPress website, keeping it secure and performing at its best.
