Welsh Hideaways
Website Proposal

Introduction

Digital Storm is excited to present our proposal for the redesign of the Welsh Hideaways website. As a long-term client, we understand the importance of keeping up with the latest technology and design trends to enhance user experience and drive business growth. The redesign will include separate pages for local attractions, individual pages for each of the two cottages, information about pet-friendly status, footer links for terms and privacy, and Google Reviews. Additionally, the page templates will be built to allow the trustees of Welsh Hideaways to easily add content yourselves.

Project Scope

The scope of this project will be to redesign the Welsh Hideaways website to improve user experience and functionality. The new design will be modern, easy to navigate, and responsive across all devices. We will incorporate Supercontrol’s latest system to streamline the booking process and provide a seamless experience for users. The design will be similar in style and functionality to https://www.orroland.com, which features a clean, simple layout with clear calls to action and well-organised content.

Timescales and Milestones

We estimate that the Welsh Hideaways website redesign project will take approximately 2-4 months to complete, depending on the complexity of the project and the timely provision of content and assets from Welsh Hideaways.

To ensure that the project is completed within the estimated timescale, we will use project management tools such as Google Drive, Trello, Writemaps and WhatsApp to manage the flow of information and assets between our team and Welsh Hideaways. These tools will allow us to keep track of the progress of the project, provide regular updates to Welsh Hideaways, and ensure that the project stays on track.

We will establish milestones throughout the project to ensure that both parties are aligned with the progress being made. This will also provide an opportunity for Welsh Hideaways to review our work and provide feedback as we move forward.

We understand the importance of meeting deadlines and will do everything in our power to ensure that the project is completed within the estimated timescale.

Site Structure

The new site structure will be organised around the two cottages and the local attractions. Each cottage will have its page with detailed descriptions, amenities, and pricing information. Users will be able to easily navigate between the two cottages and book their stay through the Supercontrol system. The local attractions page will provide information on nearby attractions, restaurants, and activities to enhance the guest experience.

Design and Layout

The new design will feature a simple, modern layout with a clean colour scheme that reflects the natural beauty of the Welsh countryside. The homepage will feature high-quality images of the cottages and the surrounding area, along with clear calls to action to book a stay or explore the local attractions. The header and footer will include links to important information such as terms and privacy policies.

Pet-Friendly Status

Welsh Hideaways prides itself on being pet-friendly, and the new website will make it easy for users to see that the cottages are pet-friendly. This information will be prominently displayed on each cottage page and in the booking process, so users can easily make informed decisions about their stay.

Google Reviews

To provide social proof and credibility to the website, we will incorporate Google Reviews. The reviews will be presented in a visually appealing way that highlights positive feedback and encourages potential guests to book a stay at Welsh Hideaways. Additionally, we will ensure that the review section is automatically updated to reflect the most recent feedback from guests.

Page Templates

The page templates will be built to allow the trustees of Welsh Hideaways to easily add content yourselves. Our team of WordPress developers will create custom page templates that are easy to use and require no coding knowledge. We will also provide training and support for the trustees, so they can feel confident in your ability to update the website yourselves.

Cost and Payment Terms

Based on the requirements outlined in our proposal, we estimate the total cost of the project to be £3,000 (+VAT). We are willing to work with the payment terms of 12 monthly payments. This means that the cost of the project would be split into 12 equal payments of £250 (+VAT) each which will be collected via Direct Debit at the beginning of each month until full payment is complete.

Conclusion

Digital Storm is excited to partner with Welsh Hideaways on this exciting redesign project. We are committed to building a website that is easy to update and maintain, while also providing a great user experience for guests.

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.
