    Why you need our UX and web design services

    Data-driven design is a strategic approach that leverages customer interaction data to inform design decisions, with the aim of improving user experience and boosting return on investment (ROI) for businesses. At the heart of our approach lies this understanding that consumer insights are key to creating effective designs.

    We strive to understand your users habits, needs, behaviours, motivations, and emotions, employing a blend of social, analytical, and storytelling skills in to the design journey.

     With a keen understanding of UX design principles, we ensure that your users' experiences are at the forefront of our design process, leading to a site that's not just visually appealing but also user-friendly and goal-oriented

    UX design experience: tailored for every customer

    Navigating the digital landscape can be complex, but you don't have to do it alone. At Reeds, our digital design team is passionate about crafting the perfect website for your business. We start by listening, not assuming. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to enhance your current website, we dive deep into understanding your users and how they find you, their device preferences, and your site's current performance. 

    Our goal? To build something superior for your business. We also keep a close eye on your competitors, ensuring your website is not just in the game but leading the pack.

    What We Offer with website Design

    Your involvement is crucial to us. From the moment we begin building your site, we ensure you're part of the journey, aligning our progress with your expectations. Our process includes designing a website structure that best fits your business needs and creating a prototype for you to experience firsthand. Before the big launch, we conduct extensive testing to guarantee flawless performance. It's not just about delivering a website; it's about crafting an experience that resonates with you and your audience.

    What being a partner looks like

    “Since launching the website in March 2023 last year, our website traffic has more than doubled. This surge is a testament to the exceptional quality of website development, content, and SEO strategies implemented by the Reeds team. The platform’s ease of use has enabled us to significantly increase the volume of content we produce, further fuelling our growth and reach.”

    Accessibility in website design

    In today’s digital age, ensuring your website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, is not just a best practice—it's a necessity. Accessibility in website design means creating online spaces that everyone can navigate, understand, and interact with, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities. By adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standards, we commit to designing websites that are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users. This approach not only enhances the user experience for a wider audience but also aligns with legal and ethical standards, ensuring your digital presence is inclusive and welcoming to everyone.
