Strikingly is a simple website builder to use, but you might want help to get started.

Advantage to a Strikingly website

Strikingly is an easy website builder for many to use. The advantage of a strikingly website over other builders such as WordPress, is the lack of site maintenance required and it’s easy to update yourself. Strikingly deals with all the technical aspects, leaving you to concentrate on the website itself. Managing and updating your site is also easy.

Building your Strikingly website

Building your initial website though can be a different thing. Although easy, it can be time consuming. Additionally, a good layout and design is not always easy to achieve. A good, professional look is very important. Strikingly has lots of great templates, sections and widgets, which helps for sure. Mind you, they also need to be customised to the look of your site..

Website user experience

It’s not just about creating a beautiful looking website, though. You also need to provide a great user experience. Visitors to your site must instantly see exactly what they are looking for. People have very short attention spans on the Internet these days. They should be immediately engaged and want to scroll on and navigate your website for more.

Therefore, it is also imperative that the site is easy to read, that relevant content sticks out and is clearly visible. The viewer must be able to focus on the parts of the page that relate to their enquiries.

Website navigation

Website navigation is also important. If visitors want to read more, continue on and look through your site, or have decided to purchase then they want to easily see how to do this. Call to action buttons must be clear and prominent, and internal page ads and button links much easily direct people to other relevant information or promote alternatives.

What can I say!Ian was fantastic from the beginning concept to completion of the project and beyond with ongoing support. He listened to the vision I was after and made suggestions, not only with the design process, but also how he could optimise and maximise the platform online.Ian kept me informed with regular updates throughout, providing visuals on how the design was looking. Ian also provided me with ono to one training on how to amend and update the web page, during and after completion. He has a very calming and nurturing teaching style, and is very patient, which is great, as it can take me a while to grasp technical information!His knowledge on web design is top class and he really knows his stuff, to be able to advise as to the best design for your needs.I am so pleased with the platform he has created for me, and I am already experience an uplift in customers since the launch.I would thoroughly recommend Ian to anyone looking for this service, without hesitation.Paul Placitelli.

I have known Ian both as a photography tutor (some years ago) and as someone who I really wanted to take charge of building my website. His guidance and patience with me has been utterly appreciated. His objective approach to building my website has also meant that I have had the courage to ‘let go of my darlings’ so that the end product is impactful and competitive. I now have a website that is visually strong, incorporates my youtube channel and is visible – it’s now down to me to develop my marketing strategy to take full advantage of his excellent work! Thank you Ian.

After agreeing the work Ian kept me updated throughout the whole process and made sure I was happy with what was done.

I can totally recommend Ian’s services he is absolutely fantastic at what he does and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟

I am a new small business owner. I was really struggling putting together a website. While seeking to gain more knowledge, I came across Ian’s SmugMug tutorial YouTube videos. After visiting his website, I discovered his web design services and decided to reach out. I am very glad I did. Through trail and error, he helped me create a website far greater than what I had envisioned. I am confident and proud of how my work is portrayed! Ian was flexible and patient with my schedule. He was quick to respond to any request or concern. Most importantly, he was able to work with me and provide my fantastic website within MY budget. No contract, hourly rates, and he has stated/proven he is available for further assistance if I need any! What I appreciated most about working with Ian; for every request I had, along with making the adjustments himself, he would send me a tutorial video, just so I could have an understanding/knowledge of how he accomplished something on my site. He made the process seamless and exciting for me. I am so thrilled I utilized his services. I would highly recommend for any service he offers!
