At Graphic Icing, we love websites and adore cake (our name probably gives that away) so we have created some sugary packages to help sweeten your journey into the online world.

Whether you’re a lover of Icing, Sprinkles or a cheeky Cherry on top, our packages have been designed to save you time, money and worry. We are the experts in all things online, so you don’t have to be.

Our websites are not just pretty to look at, they are targeted at your audience, functional and business-orientated. Before adding the glitz and glamour to make your website stand out, we will get to know your business goals and design a site to meet these needs.

We will get to know you and your business at an initial consultation before going on to build you an attractive, mobile-friendly website. We also provide ongoing support once your website is up and running.

Our Icing, Sprinkles or Cherry packages are built on WordPress. We believe this is one of the best platforms available due to the constant security and feature updates. Just as your business will grow and change, WordPress allows you to grow your website without the expense of rebuilding or starting from scratch.

In case all this website talk makes you nervous, we’ll provide advice and instructions to make sure you feel comfortable using and editing your site.

So take your pick from our delicious menu of online treats. We promise you’ll love them.

Each of our website recipes are slightly different, read on to choose what suits you. 

Pre-built theme or Custom design

Just like those time-saving boxes of pre-mixed cake ingredients, Graphic Icing has a great selection of pre-built themes. These are fun and functional website designs that have already been built for your convenience.

Once you have selected your chosen theme we can add the decorative touches such as your brand colours, logo and content. Pre-built themes are a great option if your budget is small but appetite for an online website is big! Whilst this choice is great for some, it can be limiting in regards to design choices and feature options.

Want to go bigger? Well then custom designs are exactly what you need, a website designed and built just for you, meeting all your requirements.

Support

To help you on your way, we provide one-month’s free support once your website is up and running. Call or email us any time between 10am and 5pm, Monday to Friday and we’ll sort out any problems or answer any questions you may have. Emailing is slightly slower, so give us a call instead we love a chat!

General SEO

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a big deal. It’s about how highly you rank on Google. The higher your rank, the more likely it is customers will find you and click through.

Our Sprinkles and Cherries packages offer various methods to boost your SEO. Whilst we don’t believe in stuffing your site with keywords, we instead prefer natural SEO (think sugar over artificial sweetener). Using Google analytics, we will make changes to the structure or architecture of your website to achieve the best possible position on Google and other search engines for a wide range of search terms and phrases.

Ecommerce – online shop

Graphic Icing’s Cherries package includes an online shop. We will set up a selection of products, the shopping pages, basket, account pages and checkout pages for you. We will also install your chosen payment gateway such as PayPal or Worldpay.

This service gets your shop ready for customers straight away and we’ll have those shopping baskets filling up in no time!

Copywriting – content writing

Filling up those hungry webpages with content can often be the most time-consuming job for our clients so why not let us do the hard work for you? Add a copywriting bolt-on to your website package and we will get writing so you don’t have to.

Max number of pages

Each delicious package we offer comes with a set number of pages. You can add more later, but as a helpful starter we’ve set out how you may want to use the pages we create:

• Icing: 3 pages – Home, Services and Contact Us (the basic and most important pages for any site)
• Sprinkles: 5 pages – Home, About, Services, Blog, Contact Us
• Cherries: Home, About, Delivery Details (or FAQs), Blog, Shop (including product list, 1 category, basket and checkout), Product 1, Product 2, Product 3, Product 4, Contact Us

We will also throw in the Terms and Conditions and cookie policy pages as these are required on all websites.

Images

We all like a pretty picture and these are especially important for your website. Customers are drawn to images so they need to be of high quality and as attractive as possible.

Our Sprinkles and Cherries packages come with a number of stock images to help you save time and create a website to wow your potential customers.

Blog

Everyone loves a blog and these days they are vital to grow your business and increase your site’s traffic. A website with a blog has 55% more visitors than one without. A regular blog gives you the chance to show off your expertise and knowledge and gets people visiting your site more often.

If you would like a blog but do not have the time to put one together, ask us about our blog bolt-on. We’ll use your business ingredients to create a fun and fabulous piece of writing.

Social media

Our Icing, Sprinkles and Cherries packages include social media links and icons. The Cherries package also allows you to display a social media feed on your website, for example your Facebook timeline or Instagram feed.

Showing off your social media activities helps create trust with customers who can see that you are a busy business with lots going on and even more to offer.
