Websites in Washington, DC built to sell

A good-looking website that does not sell is a cost. We judge every redesign by what happens afterwards: more inquiries, more orders and less waiting.

Your website and your customers in Washington, DC

Some 700,000 people live in Washington, DC. Nationally it ranks 20th among US cities by population.

The more choice there is, the less patience people have. In a city this size, a site that takes a few seconds too long to open has already sent the visitor to a competitor. Vértigo is based in Murcia, Spain, usually 6 hours ahead of Washington, DC. We work with clients abroad by video call, in English. We offer the same in Alexandria, Baltimore and Richmond.

Web design, one sector at a time

  • Veterinary clinics

    The emergency number visible from the first second, online booking and the team with names and photos. Everything else can wait.

  • Architecture firms

    Full-screen photography, few words and projects that are a pleasure to browse. In architecture the website is the first building the client sees.

  • Hotels

    Large photos, clear prices and direct booking in a few steps. A slow hotel website hands the booking to the portals.

Web design in Washington, DC, piece by piece

A custom website starts long before anyone opens the design software. First you need to be clear about what you sell and to whom. Then about what should happen when somebody lands on the site.

  1. 01

    Strategy and structure

    Before drawing anything we decide what the website has to achieve, who it is talking to and which route a visitor takes before getting in touch or buying.

  2. 02

    Custom design

    We start from your identity, or help you define it, and design every screen for desktop and for mobile. Nothing comes out of a catalog.

  3. 03

    Animation and 3D

    We use animation to explain things, as on this page: elements that move as you scroll down and help you follow what is being said.

  4. 04

    Fast, clean development

    We test on real phones as well as on the office computer. If the site feels slow on a mid-range one, we keep tuning it.

  5. 05

    SEO from day one

    We design with the way people will search for you in mind. Each service gets its own page and each page answers one specific search.

  6. 06

    Online store and content panel

    Catalog, payments and a simple panel so that you can change texts, photos and products without having to call us.

From an ordinary website to one made to order

Below is a made-up architecture studio with two versions of its website. One is the kind of template you have seen a hundred times. The other is what we would draw for it, and you can scroll through it here.

  1. We start with what needs to be said.
  2. We draw every screen, mobile included.
  3. We add animation where it helps and develop the site.
  4. We publish and count the inquiries it brings in.

Illustrative simulation with stock photographs. Every project has its own design, figures and timings.

Our web design method, step by step

  1. 01

    Starting point

    We review your current website, if you have one, and agree on what the new one has to achieve.

  2. 02

    Design

    You see how it will look before it exists. Changes are made here, while they are still cheap.

  3. 03

    Coding

    We turn the design into a working website, with its animations, its forms and its content panel.

  4. 04

    Handover and improvement

    It goes live, we measure what people do and correct whatever does not work as expected.

Talk to the team
Do you work with templates?

No. Every website is designed from scratch for the brand. The technology is chosen to suit the project. If a content system that lets you publish yourself is the right fit, we build it with its own design. If the site calls for more speed or animation, we code it to order.

Is the website ready for Google when it launches?

Yes. The people who do SEO for our clients take part in the web projects, so page structure, titles, addresses and structured data are settled before launch. That gives Google what it needs to read the site. How high it ranks then depends on the competition and on ongoing work.

Will it look right on mobile?

Yes, and it is the first thing we check. Each page has its own design for mobile and is never a shrunken copy of the desktop one. We also measure how quickly it opens on an ordinary phone, since a slow page loses visitors before they have read a word.

Do animation and 3D make the site slower?

Only when they are overused. We measure load time with every effect we add, and if one weighs too much we lighten it or remove it. The test is an ordinary phone on an ordinary connection, which is how plenty of your visitors will arrive.

What is the difference between a custom website and a template?

A template is a design made for thousands of companies, with the logo and photos swapped. A custom website is designed around what you sell and how your customer decides. You notice it in how well people remember the site and in how many of them get in touch.

Can I see the design before you start coding?

Yes. We show you every screen fully designed and correct it with you. Only when you give the go-ahead do we move on to development. Changing a design is quick and changing a finished website is slow, so this is where the discussion belongs.
