Web Design in Harrow

Much of Harrow’s business is done by smaller firms. Accountants and solicitors work from offices around the town centre and Harrow on the Hill. Dental practices, clinics and pharmacies serve the surrounding streets, estate agents cover Pinner, Stanmore and Rayners Lane, and the shops around St Ann’s Road and Station Road compete with everything a phone can order.

What these businesses need from a website is usually practical. Say you run a dental practice in Kenton: patients want to see your treatments and prices, check your opening hours, and book without ringing. An accountancy firm in Wealdstone needs pages that explain each service clearly and a way for new clients to send their details securely. Good website design in Harrow starts with that kind of detail, then gets the look right.

Whoever you talk to, these questions tell you a lot about how the project and the years after it will go:

• Who actually builds the site? At Blue Flamingo it’s our own designers and developers. Ask whether yours will be passed to a freelancer.
• Can your team update it? You should be able to change a page without paying a developer. We set WordPress up around your content and train whoever will edit it.
• Is the design made for you? We draw every layout from scratch, starting with wireframes you approve, so your site doesn’t share a design with a business down the road.
• What happens to your Google rankings at launch? We redirect every old address, so the pages that bring in enquiries keep working.
• What does it cost to run? Hosting, updates and support should be priced up front. Ours are set out on our care plans page.

Ask the same questions of every web design agency in Harrow you speak to. The answers make the differences between them much easier to see.

Some businesses need a website that does more than describe them. A tuition centre may want parents to book and pay for sessions online. A wholesaler may want trade customers to log in, see their own prices and reorder. A clinic may want new patients to fill in forms before their first visit.

This is where our developers come in. We build most sites on WordPress, and use Django and Python for custom web applications that need more logic behind them. We can connect your site to Microsoft Dynamics 365 or Salesforce through our CRM integration work, so enquiries arrive where your team already works. You get one team for the design and the development, which means fewer gaps between the two.

Search in Harrow is crowded, so a well-built site is only the starting point. Our SEO work looks at what people in HA1, HA2 and HA3 type when they need a business like yours, then improves your pages, your Google Business Profile and your local listings to match. Each month you see what we did and what changed.

It can work well. When we rebuilt the site for DRK Lighting and ran their SEO, their web traffic rose by 50% within six months and 80% of their target keywords reached page one of Google (read the DRK case study). Results depend on your market, and nobody can honestly guarantee a ranking.

If you want a fuller digital marketing setup, we run pay per click campaigns, and our fractional marketing team can plan and run your campaigns for a set number of days each month.

Our office is in Twickenham, on the other side of West London, so with a Harrow business most meetings would happen over video. We’re glad to come to you in person for the opening workshop, or for any meeting where being in the same room helps.

Businesses in Wembley, Edgware, Northwood and Ruislip are well within reach too. See our pages for Ealing and West London, or our London web design services.
