South Coast Worktops
Website Proposal

We are pleased to present a proposal for the development of a website for South Coast Worktops (SCW). Based in Bournemouth, the company specialises in the supply and fitting of kitchen worktops, with a particular focus on granite and quartz worktops. The aim of the website is to showcase the company’s products and services in a user-friendly manner, and provide potential customers with an overview of the customer experience from choosing their worktop style all the way through to installation. The website will be built using WordPress and will be designed and developed by Digital Storm.

Overview of the website:
The website will feature a comprehensive catalogue of South Coast Worktops’ products, including high-quality images and detailed descriptions of each worktop (supplied by SCW). Users will be able to filter the products based on material, style, and colour to find the perfect worktop for their kitchen. In addition, the website will provide a breakdown of the customer experience, from initial consultation and measurement to final installation. This will help potential customers understand the process and feel confident in their decision to work with South Coast Worktops.

WordPress Web Design Agency
vs. Freelance Designer

If you’re thinking about a new website, you’ve probably had the ‘agency vs. freelance WordPress website builder’ discussion. Whichever one you choose to work with, you’ll end up with a new WordPress website at the end. The difference is in the style of working. When you work with a web design agency, you’ve got access to a team of people that have different areas of expertise. Your new website will be designed by our graphic design team with input from the marketing and development teams. Depending on the web design agency you choose to work with, you’ll have access to a variety of tools, resources and opinions. Freelancer WordPress website designers will still get the job done. After you’ve provided a brief they’ll be able to design and develop a website on a much tighter budget. The main difference is you’ll be working with one individual as opposed to a team of experts. Tight deadlines might be a problem so it’s worth thinking about your needs before you make a decision.
