Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Zadran Digital provides web design and development services for businesses in Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area.
A small marketing site of a few pages usually takes two to six weeks from the first workshop. A larger build, or one that sells online, needs logins or connects to other systems, is closer to six to twelve. The dates are agreed before work starts, and the thing that most often moves them is how quickly copy, photographs and sign-off come back.
Yes. We start by finding out what the current site does well, using its analytics where they exist, so that a redesign does not throw away pages that already bring in enquiries. Then we restructure, redesign and rebuild, and redirect the old addresses properly so that search rankings and saved links carry over to the new site.
Every site is designed for a phone screen first and scaled up from there, because that is where most visitors will meet it. Layouts, type sizes and tap targets are checked on real devices at several widths before launch, and page weight is kept low so the site stays quick on a mobile connection.
Often, yes, and it rarely needs to be elaborate. Typical starting points are answering routine enquiries, moving form submissions into a spreadsheet or CRM, and drafting replies or reports for a person to check. That work sits with our Software & Automation service, which can be planned alongside a new website so the two are built to connect.
Yes. Search is handled during the build rather than added afterwards: clean page structure, descriptive titles and headings, fast loading, sensible addresses and content that answers what people actually search for. For a business serving Derby and the surrounding area that also means accurate location details. Ongoing search work is available through our Growth & Visibility service.
Yes. The studio is based in Derby and works with businesses across the East Midlands and further afield. Kickoff workshops and key reviews happen in person where that is practical, and the rest of the project runs remotely with a progress note every week.
