Website Design Best Practice
Websites developed by Business Image include the following standard elements
Your new website will follow current web design best practice and usability guidelines. We don’t just build your website and say “off you go” and wish you the best. It’s in our best interest that your website provides the information your customers are looking for. We have outlined below the elements that are included in your new website:
About your website
WordPress
We are WordPress experts. Your website will be developed on WordPress. We don’t use Wix or Squarespace.
Elementor Pro
Your website will be designed from scratch using the Elementor Pro theme. We don't use templates.
Contact Form(s)
Your website can have one or several contact forms. Contact forms are spam-protected by captcha software. This prevents spammers abusing your online forms and sending you hundreds of automated spam enquiries.
Contact Form Submission Collection
We can install software on your website which captures your contact form submissions.
Blog
Your website can have a blog. We can easily add this functionality to your website.
Trust Elements
People buy from your website if they trust the information that is provided. This is achieved by adding certain elements to your website. We will make sure and encourage you to provide the required information so that your website has a higher chance to convert visitors into prospects and buyers.
SEO-friendly
We will install SEO software and add initial SEO to your website so that it has the best chance to be found online.
Hosting & backups
Super fast business hosting
Your website will be hosted on VPS or Cloud Hosting.
Double backups
Your website is backed up on our hosting server for up to 30 days. We also create backups of your website regularly which are stored off-site. You can decide how frequently a backup should be stored. If you update your website on average once a week, then you should keep a backup every week.
Usability & legal elements
Dark Mode
Your website can have a Dark Mode Toggle allowing your website visitors to view your website in dark mode.
Mobile friendly
Your website will be thoroughly developed for and tested on different mobile devices such as iPad, Android and iPhone.
Usability
Your website will adhere to the most recent usability guidelines so that your website content is readable by the largest audience possible and there are no barriers to your content.

GDPR Info
We will help you with your privacy and data protection policies. Ultimately, they are your responsibility, but we will help you get set up and put these policies in place for you.
Regular security updates
Website Security
We make sure your website software is up-to-date. We use professional security plugins that prevent hackers from accessing your website. We also limit the number of times people can “try” to log in.
SSL (Secure Website)
We make sure your website has an active SSL Certificate. You will then see the padlock icon in the address bar beside your website’s domain name.
