A first website for a social media marketing business – update

The Brief

Client: Business Zen

Start Date: December 2022 & July 2024

Services: Web Design & Development

Julie at Business Zen wanted a fabulous website for her new adventure into social media marketing. She wanted something professional yet fun, with something eye-catching to help start conversations.

The design

“Why is your site covered in lemons?!”

And that, folks, is your conversation starter! The lemons are a bit of whimsy, a hook that intrigues whilst also suggesting a fresh, punchy approach to the work Business Zen does.

Client's thoughts

Alice has exceeded my expectations in terms of website design and functionality. She is highly skilled and professional with an amazing understanding of WordPress. Alice has always answered my questions and provided me with support when needed. I would definitely recommend Web Wisdom for any business looking to build their WordPress website and make it stand out.

A growing site

In July 2024, Julie realised it would be helpful for her clients to be able to purchase her product bundles via her website. So I added e-commerce functionality to the site with WooCommerce and WooCommerce Bundles. And as Julie has clients both here in the UK and in the EU, we set things up for both GBP and Euros.

How much does a website cost?

Good question!

And as with many such questions, the answer is “It depends!”

Professionally built websites can start from around £500 for a very simple build but can easily head up towards £2000-£10,000+ for larger or more bespoke projects. 

You need to consider what your website needs to be able to do in order to make it work well for your business.

Do you need a “shop window” that showcases your products or services and helps your clients to build confidence in your skills and quality?

Do you need a specific functionality such as a booking or payment platform?

How soon do you need your site to be ready?

All of these factors will be taken into consideration when your web developer puts together a quote for you. Best advice? Make sure you know what you want and communicate that clearly with your developer.

And if you’re not sure what you need yet, ask! If you can give your developer an overview of your business and what you want to achieve, they should be able to guide you on the kind of site that will best suit you.
