We create intuitive and engaging digital experiences for a worldwide audience

At Root Studio, there’s no one-size-fits-all solutions. All our website designs are bespoke and hand-coded to the highest quality

Our award-wining team of web designers and developers have 17 years experience creating the very best digital experiences. Our websites are designed and built to be fast, intelligent and easy to maintain.

How we work

Websites built on a foundation of user research, quality design and cutting-edge technology

We focus hard on creating tailor-made websites that are a pleasure to use and deliver a fantastic ROI for our clients. 

Research & discovery

Understanding your brand and target audience is vital for producing an intuitive and engaging website. During our conversations and workshops we’ll discover what makes your brand unique, gather insights from any available data points and gain a detailed overview of your business.

User Journey Maps

Our user research will start with any available data from your CRM, your website and your social media accounts in order to assess user behaviours and interactions. Working with you, we’ll then perform a series of workshops with your customers, front-line staff and marketing team that will result in the production of a User Empathy Map (or ‘persona’) as well as a detailed User Journey Map that defines where you should be marketing, when and how. 

The creative process

Our experienced design team will produce three bespoke website designs that approach your brief in different ways. These concepts will be iterated and refined thoroughly in-house before being presented for your consideration. We’ll create interactive prototypes for you to explore in the browser including all core page templates required.

The development process

Our team of developers start all builds with the creation of a thorough digital style guide. All our code adheres to the latest web standards and is written by our in-house development team. You’ll be able to review your website build within a secure staging area available for you to see at any stage during the development process.

Ongoing support

Once the CMS (Content Management System) has been installed, we’ll provide you with a one-to-one tutorial for editing the site. Typically you’ll be able to edit almost every aspect of the site’s content with ease and flexibility. We’ll offer you various monthly support packages ranging from regular software update and security patches to content audits, reports and other custom packages to suit your needs.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website design cost?

Our website design fees vary depending the complexity and functionality required (rather than the number of pages for example). As a rough guide, fees for a single landing page start from £4,500+VAT, with brochure sites and e-commerce solutions starting at around £10,000+VAT.

Will you write the content for my website too?

We can produce text, image and video content for your website for an additional fee.

What CMS (Content Management System) do you use?

For new websites we build using Statamic or Shopify and can also support websites build using Perch, Craft or Wordpress.

How long does the website design process take?

Timeframes can vary from project to project but as a rough guide the process typically takes between 8-12 weeks for a standard brochure style website.

What happens if I don’t like the design concepts?

It’s important to consider what your target audience would respond well to rather than personal preference but if you don’t think any of the concepts fit the bill then we will discuss why this might be before revisiting the design phase and presenting more concepts for your consideration.

I am outside of the UK, how would this work?

No problem, we have many overseas clients and meet regularly via video call. All estimates and bills are provided in GBP and can be paid via bank transfer or credit card.

How do you bill for a website design?

After a design contract has been agreed we will send over a deposit invoice. We typically bill website projects at either three or four milestones during the design and build process.
