What a business website has to get right

Weight before beauty. Images are resized and compressed before they ship, fonts are served from the site rather than a third party, and scripts that only decorate are left out. The page opens instead of spinning, which is the whole game on mobile data.

One obvious next step per page. Sites in this market routinely bury the phone number and hide the enquiry form behind a menu. Each page here has a single clear action, repeated at the point a reader is most likely to be ready for it.

Structure a search engine can read: headings in order, one h1 per page, links that describe where they go, structured data for the business and its services, and a sitemap that stays current. None of that is visible to a visitor and all of it decides whether the page can rank at all.

Ownership that stays with you. The domain is registered in your name, the hosting account is yours, and the logins are handed over at launch. If you stop working with me you keep everything, which is not true of every arrangement offered in Lagos.

Context

What a Lagos visitor arrives with

A site is not read in the conditions it was designed in. Most of the people who will decide whether to contact you are holding a phone, on mobile data, somewhere with other things happening. Everything below follows from that.

A phone, not a desktop: The design is settled at phone width first and widened from there. A layout drawn on a laptop and squeezed down afterwards is how a headline ends up at four words a line.
Mobile data they pay for: Every megabyte is a cost to the visitor and a reason to leave. Uncompressed hero images and a stack of third party scripts are the usual culprits.
A connection that drops: Pages are built to render their text and their contact details first, so a half loaded page is still a usable one rather than a blank screen with a spinner.
WhatsApp in the other hand: For a great many buyers here WhatsApp is the real contact channel. A number that opens a chat in one tap is worth more than a form nobody fills in.
An Android device of unknown age: Not the newest iPhone on fast WiFi. Modern formats are used where they help, with fallbacks that keep the page working on a browser two versions behind.
No patience for a cookie wall: Nothing stands between somebody and the thing they came for. No interstitial, no newsletter popup before the first paragraph, no chat bubble that opens by itself.

The choice

Custom build, template, or page builder

All three put a website on the internet. They differ in what happens afterwards, which is the part that costs money. This is the comparison worth having before anybody quotes you.

Custom build compared with a bought template and a drag and drop page builder
What is being compared	Custom build	Bought template	Page builder
Up front cost	The highest of the three, because the pages are drawn and built for your business.	Low. The theme is bought once and filled in.	Low to start, on a subscription that continues for as long as the site exists.
Page weight	Only the code the page uses is shipped.	The theme ships what every buyer of it might need, used or not.	The builder's own framework loads on every page before your content does.
Looks like	Your business.	Every other business that bought the same theme.	Whatever the blocks allow, which is a recognisable look.
Changing it later	Anything is possible, and the work goes through whoever builds it.	Easy inside what the theme expects, difficult or impossible outside it.	Easy for text and images, fenced in for structure.
If you walk away	The code, the domain and the hosting are yours to take anywhere.	The content is portable, the theme licence usually is not.	The site generally cannot leave the platform in a usable state.
Fits best	A business whose site has to compete in search and carry the first impression.	Proving an idea quickly, or a site nobody is expected to find through Google.	A page that will be rebuilt within a year anyway.

Before a build

What to have ready

A build waits on content far more often than it waits on design. Gathering these first is what separates a project that lands on time from one that stalls with the pages half full.

Your logo as a vector file, or the highest resolution version anyone has
The real names and descriptions of what you sell, not placeholder text
Photographs of the actual business, premises, people or product
A working email address on your own domain for enquiries to reach
Access to the domain registrar, or the details needed to register one
Any certifications, licences or registration numbers worth showing
The phone number and WhatsApp line you want enquiries to arrive on
Whoever will approve the pages, available while the work is happening

Common questions

All questions

Do I need a custom site or will a template do?

A template is fine if the business is simple and nobody you compete with is trying very hard. Custom earns its money when speed, search and the shape of your enquiry process matter, because a template carries the code for every feature it supports, not just the ones you use.

Can you redesign the site I already have?

Often, yes. If it sits on a platform that can be made fast, fixing it costs less than starting again, and I will tell you which of the two applies before you commit to anything.

Is the site mine if I stop working with you?

Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the hosting account is yours, and every login is handed over at launch.

Will I be able to update it myself?

Yes. Content you are likely to change is editable without touching code, and you get a walkthrough at launch.

No obligation

Tell me what you need.

Four questions, and you pick how I come back to you. If what you need is not something I should be doing, I will tell you that instead of quoting for it.
