What is web design?
Web design is the planning of a website’s page layout, navigation, and visual style, and web development is the code that makes the pages work. I build each website on a such as WordPress, so you edit pages without writing code.
Software that stores your pages and lets you edit them in a web browser.
When does a business need a new website?
Web design fixes five problems for trades and local service businesses:
What does the web design service include?
Web design uses four components across your website.
Custom website design
I design each page layout around your services and your customers’ questions, then build it on WordPress or another platform in the platforms table, including ecommerce web design for online stores.
Website redesign
Redesign replaces the layout and code of your existing website, and I build the new version to Core Web Vitals thresholds.
Build and markup
I hand-code HTML5 and CSS3, and I add Schema.org structured data so search engines read your services, address, and opening hours. For international SEO I add hreflang tags and local hosting.
Measurement
I track the website with Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, and Google Search Console, so you see visits and form submissions after launch.
Which platforms do you work on?
I work on WordPress and seven other website platforms. For store rankings, see ecommerce SEO.
| Platform | Type |
|---|---|
| WordPress | Content management system |
| Joomla | Open-source CMS |
| Drupal | PHP content management system |
| Custom PHP | Hand-written code |
| WooCommerce | Store plugin for WordPress |
| Shopify | Hosted store platform |
| Magento | Store platform |
| BigCommerce | Hosted ecommerce platform |
Which standards does the website follow?
I build to Google Search Essentials and thresholds, track the results, and refine the plan. Rankings and scores are not guaranteed.
Google’s measurements of how fast a page loads, how quickly it responds, and how stable its layout stays.
Where can you see the evidence?
Across more than 20 client accounts over the past 18 months, measurable gains appear within 90 days in search impressions, website clicks, visits, rankings, and Google Business Profile actions including calls, messages and direction requests. Individual results vary by market and starting position; the dated per-client evidence is on the results page.

Questions about web design
How much does a website designer cost?
I confirm scope and price in writing before any work begins, after the audit call. The audit and the call are free.
How long does it take to build a website?
A build takes 2 to 4 weeks from brief to launch.
Can I edit the website after launch?
Yes, on WordPress. You change page text, images, and blog posts in the WordPress editor without writing code.
Does my website appear on Google immediately?
No. Google decides when it indexes a new page and where it ranks, so rankings are not guaranteed.
What are the risks?
A new design can change how Google ranks your pages, and a page can earn no impressions. I record a baseline in Google Search Console, report the same numbers monthly, and refine the plan.
Who builds the website?
I do: Vlad Tabaranu, founder of Dr IT SEO Services since 2010. I bring in a trusted specialist partner when a job needs it.
What do you need from me?
Logins for Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google Business Profile manager access, plus admin access to your website platform or a developer who applies my changes. I access only what the work needs, keep logins in a password manager, and remove access when the plan ends.
