In the digital era, your website is the heart of your brand. It's the platform where potential clients first encounter your business, and the quality of your site can make or break their first impression.
Websites are just as important to your business as your brick and mortar facility. They should be an integral part of your sales flow, not an add-on or afterthought. Slow, unreliable, or hard to use websites create missed opportunities and a competitive disadvantage.
This is all about making your web design look amazing across all devices. A responsive website will automatically adjust to fit the device of your user. UX (user experience) mapping ensures users can easily navigate the website.
You won't be able to grown your business if no one can find you online. SEO is the art and science of being found online. There are certain things you can do to increase your page ranking. We know what changes to make and how to make them.
Starting a website project can feel daunting. Not starting your new website keeps you in a competitive disadvantage. We've built a system that removes the stress out of web development, and ensures maximum results.
What are the key elements of a successful website design?
Great website design should be visually appealing, provide an intuitive navigation experience, leverage modern technology for better performance, and use quality content to engage visitors. Additionally, websites should be designed for mobile devices, optimized for search engine rankings, and incorporate security measures to protect visitor data.
How much does it cost to design a website?
The cost of designing a website varies depending on a number of factors including the complexity of the project, services provided (such as SEO), and the time-frame required to complete the project. Generally speaking, however, website designs range from thousands of dollars to tens of thousands depending on these factors.
What is the best way to ensure my website design is optimized for mobile devices?
When designing your website it’s important to utilize responsive web design which allows websites to adapt their size and layout according to device type (desktop computer vs tablet or smartphone). Additionally, you may want to consider leveraging plugins that offer basic features such as click-to-call buttons or forms specifically tailored for mobile users.
What type of technology should I use in my website design?
Modern web technologies such as HTML5 & CSS3 provide a variety of improved features compared to older versions allowing greater flexibility in leveraging technologies such as animations/transitions when designed correctly. Additionally, utilizing frameworks such as Bootstrap can help reduce development times significantly by providing prebuilt components that do not require additional coding from scratch
The availability of hospital beds, high costs of healthcare and access to skilled professionals have long been a challenge for families and individuals struggling with mental health conditions. Jonas Hill Hospital & Clinic, a UNC Health Hospital sought to fill this healthcare gap by combining an inpatient hospital unit with outpatient treatment and education in the same facility.
If you’re not a technology person, it’s not easy to choose a web design agency to develop your website. Fortunately, there are qualities you can look for without reviewing a single line of code.
Many agencies will take any client that walks in the door, regardless of their experience. The best agencies specialize in verticals and they go deep. Make sure the agency has the experience in your field, and that you're not just the latest shiny object.
The web design agency you choose must be able to manage time and budget as well as the work quality. TDG has the project management tools, and skills to keep your website project running on time.
Software technologies have strength and weaknesses. The agency you choose should have a variety of software partners and platform-specific expertise. TDG has certified partner relationships with a variety of vendors so we're not locked into a one size fits all product offering.
Digital media and the internet have become indispensable to potential clients looking for products and services. Research is vital part of that process. If you cannot be found online, it's unlikely that you will be able to engage with new business.
Data shows that 30% of website visitors abandon ship if a web site takes longer than 6 seconds to load. A big part of optimizing a web site is ensuring content loads fast so users actually see what you want them to engage with. Responsive web design is a technique that allows you to build one site for all devices which translates to lower development costs, faster content loading, and improved user experiences.
If the content you create and post online isn't relevant or engaging it will show in your web results. Write great copy for humans, and optimize it for search engines. SEO or Search Engine Optimization is an important tactic to ensure your website ranks highly on search engine results pages. Being listed on page one of Google results is a worthy goal, and a huge challenge. We can help.

Every client website is a little different but we find that most follow a remarkably similar path to completion. This trusted process has proven to keep projects on track, on budget and create results.
We need to understand your business from the inside out. Our initial work together includes:
• Business Overview
• Business Goals
• Products and Services
• Website Metrics
• Ultimate Visitor Goals
• Branding/Style Guide Review
• Websites You Love/Hate
• Technology Integrations
Your site isn’t built for you — it’s built for your customers. That’s why engaging in a buyer persona workshop with your team is vital to the success of your website strategy.
We use a brainstorm session to uncover your needs/wishes for the website and ensure it’s built to meet your goals. We can’t do everything at once, so we prioritize the wish list into items with high potential that are achievable and realistic.
You can’t paint the walls of your new house without first laying the foundation and building the infrastructure. We’ll build wireframes and design the site at a structural level.
Now comes the fun part. Our Web Designer will incorporate persona research and your brand guidelines to breathe visual life into your website structure.
We want the right people to find your website and the content your website shares is critical to its success. All of our discovery and research work will be called upon in this phase.
Not just any developer can code a website on the HubSpot CMS, and The Diamond Group’s development team is certified in every aspect of the HubSpot Sales and Marketing platform.
We believe in testing, testing and testing again. Our quality assurance process includes internal testing on multiple browsers for an exceptional user experience.
