Obsessed with building websites that are visually stunning, durable and high performing.
Let’s build itThe most commonly asked question about web design and working with us, answered.
Some of the basic questions we normally request for quotation includes:
Sure! In most website design projects, the workflow normally goes like this:
It really depends on the size of the website as well as the complexity of the features required. Generally speaking it normally takes us 5 weeks to complete the desgin and development of the whole website. But this timeframe does not include the time you, as the client, take to review our work and provide us with feedbacks. From our experience, building a brochure website without any complicated functionalities would normally take 2-3 months from start to launch.
For a full website design project we take 35% at the beginning of the project; 40% after the mockup of the full website is approved and the remaining 25% right before we make the website live.
For payment method, we accept bank transfer or credit card (with 5% payment processing fee on top)
We use WordPress as our go-to CMS, it is the most powerful open source CMS in the world with a user friendly and intuitive backend which makes updating and maintaining your website much easier. WordPress powers more than 30% of the top 1,000,000 websites in the world.
There are a couple of things that we think set us apart (or at least make working with us a pleasant experience):
The first stage of the web design project is to create the design mockup, in order for us to do that we would need you to provide us with the content (i.e. texts or sections that you would like to show in the pages) so that we can design the layout around them. It doesn’t need to be the final copy as long as we have some idea as to the sections and the approximate length of the copy.
In a standard website design project, you will be assigned:
During the course of the project there will be many points, requirements and feedbacks being exchanged so we will mostly be communicating through e-mails where we can keep a written record of all things discussed. We’ll even use a few different e-mail threads to make sure discussions on different topics are separated so that a clear conversation history can be retrieved.
Our team will study your company, your brand, your available content as well the industry as a whole to determine the broad vision and direction. On top of that we have a very thorough client onboarding process where you’ll be sent a design survey with questions about your business, competitors, target audience, ideal brand perception and preference on different design decisions. The response in this survey help us gauge the direction we’ll take when creating the design or layout. We are proud to say that about 90% of the first design concept we created get accepted by our client. With the remaining 10%, they are usually approved after 1-2 iterations. If, on the other hand, you have a very concrete idea as to the style you prefer then feel free to let us know and we will definitely follow that.
Most of our designs are accepted by our clients after 2-3 iteration. But in any case if you are not satisfied, we provide unlimited revision to make sure you’ll end up with the design that you’re 100% happy with.
Yup! If you don’t have images that you can provide us we would be happy to help source them for you and place them in the mockup. This doesn’t come with any additional cost unless there is a specific image that you would like to purchase.
Absolutely, our website maintenance service helps take care important routine tasks that keep your website running seamlessly. We’ve designed different service plan and they come in different tier of support level, you can find out more about them by visiting our website maintenance page.

All websites we build come with Google Analytic (a free web traffic tracking tool by Google) integration so that you can capture all the traffic data.
You own everything after the project is completed and handed over to you.
Absolutely! At the end of the website project we’ll send you a backend user manual custom-written for your website. In the manual we’ll include very thorough instructions with step-by-step guides, screenshots, screen recordings to make sure you will be able to manage and update your website without any technical knowledge.
Yes. To run a website you need 3 ongoing tools / services:
Sure! We have standard protocol to make sure your new website is lightning fast:
Do note though there are still other external factors that could affect the speed of the website and the hosting solution you choose is one of the major factors.
Websites built using WordPress will rarely run into severe security issues. The most common ‘threat’ you could expect would be spam. To tackle that, all websites we build come with security plugin and Google reCAPTCHA 3 installed to prevent your website from attacks and spams.
We will not be able to guarantee that your website will be ranked 1st in Google as there are a lot of factors affecting it. What we can guarantee is that all websites we build are search engine optimised, we have a standard protocal in making sure the on-site SEO is fully configured in your new website.
Absolutely! We use WordPress as our go-to CMS and it is mobile responsive by default. In fact it would be harder for us to build a website that is non-responsive.
CMS is short for Content Management System, it is the term used to describe the environment / system you use to manage the contents (i.e. texts and images) in your website, basically the ‘backend’ / ‘admin panel’ of your website. There are a lot of CMS available in the market, some required payment whilst others are open-source (free to use). The top CMS by market shares are: WordPress (60%), Joomla (5%), Drupal (3.5%), Shopify (2.7%), Squarespace (2.7%). At Creatix we use WordPress for most of our web development projects.
Consider Plugins as a package of code / add-ons that you can add to your WordPress website to perform a particular function. These plugins are developed by different developers / companies from the WordPress community around the world. Some of the more well-known WordPress plugins inlcude: WooCommerce (which include a whole ecosystem of handling e-Commerce functionalities), Yoast SEO, WPML (handles all things multi-lingual) and many more. Some of these plugins require payment while some are free.
The whole website project will be done on our staging server and domain so we would only need your live domain after the whole website is completed and when we are ready to move the website live.
