Web Design.
Take your online presence to the next level with Sood's expert web design team
Why do you need a website?
Having a website for your business is essential in today’s digital age. Not only does it give your customers a way to easily find information about your products or services, but it also helps to establish credibility and professionalism.
A website allows potential customers to learn about your business and what you have to offer before they ever even step foot in your physical location or make a phone call.
As the first point of contact for many potential customers, your website is the perfect opportunity to develop your online presence and bring in that all-important traffic. At Sood, we provide bespoke web design that offers high functionality, forward-thinking creativity, and a thorough understanding of your business.
To develop a website that truly reflects your business, we will engage in open and honest dialogues with you to fully understand who you are and what you do. We are committed to understanding you and your business on a deep level in order to build a website that perfectly represents its identity and values.

Our Process
The website development process is multifaceted and involves a range of different skills. From building the website to writing its content and optimising it for SEO, this process takes planning, time, and effort to carry out.
You’ll be involved from the very beginning of the process so that our work accurately reflects your vision and falls in line with your business objectives.
Together, through open discourse, we discuss the direction of the website project to create an effective plan to meet your marketing objectives.
What functions do you want your website to provide? What should the branding look like? Are there any special features you want to implement? All relevant questions will be discussed here so that your website accurately reflects your vision and attracts your target audience.
We will also undertake competitor research to better understand your industry, how your business currently fits within it, and how we can create a website that excels against the competition. All of this information will be placed into a coherent, focused, and organised web design strategy tailored to your brand’s goals.
If you decide that your website should be SEO-optimised – which we recommend – our content writers will incorporate this into every page. Targeting specific keywords and audiences relevant to your business will bring in more traffic.
The opportunity to bring your business online shouldn’t be controlled by a faceless company offering poor package options at inflated prices, lacking proper customer support, and giving you little-to-no freedom to experiment with your hosting.
At Sood, we will fully engage with you to discuss exactly what you need from our web hosting packages. Our commitment to full transparency means you won’t have to worry about any nasty surprises. You let us know what you want, and we deliver. Simple as that.
Feel secure in the knowledge that all of our cloud hosting packages come with (optional) daily backups as well as off-site weekly backups. Rest easy in the knowledge that all website updates will be securely protected and updated.
We’re also proud to share that our packages offer 100% green carbon-neutral hosting platforms. Don’t worry about sacrificing reliability – they still maintain 99.99% uptime. While most web hosting services are highly energy-intensive, our environmentally sustainable hosting helps our clients minimise their impact on the environment and reduce their digital carbon footprint.
Why invest in your online presence?
With the evolution of modern technologies, businesses of every size are doing everything they can to keep up with their competitors. Brick-and-mortar businesses are imploding, and with the recent shutdown of stores such as Toys “R” Us, more and more companies are turning their business models online, highlighting the importance of website development.
As well as opening your business up to potential customers, a website can improve your internal operational efficiency. By delivering a focused, structured, and organised marketing strategy, we can determine how best to use your website to revitalise how your business works.
When our long-term client Granite House transitioned exclusively to online forms under our guidance, their workflow became much more streamlined. Additionally, operational documents can be hosted on the websites we develop. Your business needs a streamlined workflow to run as efficiently as possible, and our websites can facilitate this.
As we work, you’ll be kept in the loop every step of the way, and we’ll include as many of your ideas and insights as we can alongside our expert advice to maximise your online presence.
Case Study: RJ Woodworking
Even the most well-established businesses can greatly benefit from a strong online presence. When they came to us, RJ Woodworking had 30 years of industry experience behind them, but their website was failing to generate leads. They needed our help.
Founder Richard asked us to redevelop his website with a focus on attracting and retaining customers. We planned and executed all aspects of website development, including content writing, product writing, and quote design.
Each client is different, so we prioritise collaboration to achieve an end result that accurately reflects their needs. We brainstormed feature ideas with Richard to determine which elements would serve his customers best. Based on his input, we implemented a quick quote system, finance calculator, an in-stock and a backorder page.
Creating long-lasting relationships with our clients and seeing them succeed is our greatest quality. We are thrilled to witness Richard’s business continue to grow as a result of its new website.
Within a year of the website launch, leads increased by 1270%. Due to the success of this project and the positive relationship we cultivated with Richard, he let us take the reins of RJ’s social media management. Through an invigorated social media strategy and bi-weekly email marketing campaigns, we grew RJ’s social media leads by 320%.
“Since working with Sood, we’ve seen an increase in website traffic and a significant increase in sales resulting from it. Our social media presence is much better – we’re gaining followers all the time. Nothing’s too much trouble and we’re very pleased with everything they’ve done for us.”

Frequently asked questions.
What do you use to design a website?
All of our websites are built on WordPress – a highly accessible and versatile platform through which our clients can easily maintain and update their websites independently. WordPress is incredibly search engine-friendly and comes with thousands of additional plugins whose tools and features dramatically boost the functionality of any website. We utilise Elementor for WordPress, which utilises a simple click-and-drag design system that any client can easily use to make simple edits while our web design team handles the more technical aspects.
Ultimately, WordPress gives us complete control over the design and functionality of a website, allowing us to craft ones that are distinct and tailored to each client’s individual needs.
Do you redesign existing websites?
Yes, we do! We need to understand your end objective and work out what was good and bad about your previous website. We work with you to come up with a plan, user flows, and custom designs to help you achieve your objectives.
Do you offer ongoing help with our new site once it's launched?
If you need our help, we are here for you. We provide regular support and are always here if something goes wrong.
Once the website is handed over to you, it is completely yours. You can use our video guides and written directions for guidance on how to manage it.
What size companies do you produce web designs for?
We work with many different businesses, from SMEs to large corporates. Building long-lasting relationships with clients is one of our core values, so if we can help you out within your budget, it would be our pleasure.
Can I purchase my own domain?
Of course! If you have already secured the domain for your website, we are happy to take over and begin building for it. If you need help with this or are unsure about the process of buying a domain, we can assist you.
The work begins. Our creative team will take your design and place it into a responsive web platform. Your site will be effortlessly usable on both desktop and mobile platforms. User experience is a top priority, meaning we always have the user journey in mind during development. Users need your website to be easy to navigate to stay engaged and turn into customers.
