User-Centric Design

Our web design philosophy is that user experience should come first when building out your website. You want to make sure your users can find the information they are looking for in a straight-forward manner. We help bring the user approach to your design. 

  • Accessible and readable: Making your website content easily readable is incredibly important to the user experience. Using the proper fonts, colours, and spacing will ensure your users find what they are looking for.
  • Easy navigation: Everything on your site should be within one or two clicks. Making sure that there is a proper navigation architecture planned before implementation helps to ensure your users can get to what they need before they get distracted and drop off to look for information from another site.
  • Front and center for what's important: Make sure you know what your key messages are. Van Island Web can help you develop your key messages and content, and make sure it can be seen by your users.

Mobile Website Design

More than half of your website visits will come from users on their phone, so you need to make sure the experience is optimized for them. By using a responsive design for your site, we don’t need multiple versions of the site for different users and different devices. Have your site automatically reformat and resize based on the device in use, and don’t worry about managing multiple versions of your site.

  • Mobile first web design: Ensure that your website is optimized for mobile visitors and plan for the mobile user experience. This is just as (or more) important than your desktop design.
  • Responsive design: Whether viewing your new website on an iPad, an Android phone or a large screen iPhone, proper responsive design means that whenever the viewer of your site changes, the layout changes with it and looks just as good.
  • SEO benefits: Search engines prioritize mobile-friendly and responsive websites as part of their search ranking algorithms and can help increase visibility and drive organic traffic. Learn more about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) from Van Island Web.

Web Framework

Use of a web framework allows Van Island Web to build websites faster with a foundation that focuses on stability, speed and accessibility. Van Island Web uses GeneratePress as that web foundation to provide websites at affordable prices for small and medium sized businesses.

  • Lightweight and fast GeneratePress is built with performance in mind. It's lightweight, which means it loads quickly, contributing to a better user experience and improved SEO.
  • Web design accessibility: GeneratePress prioritizes accessibility, and ensures websites adhere to web accessibility standards with features such as adjustable font sizes, keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility.
  • Regular updates and support: The GeneratePress framework is actively maintained and regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest WordPress versions and security patches. This means as web standards evolve, so does your website automatically.
