There's being on the web and being effective on the web - and there's a big difference. It's easy to be dazzled by design, but far harder to blend form with function and arrive at something which looks good and works well in equal measure. That's where we come in.
Clear out the clutter
No matter how good your new website is, if users can't find their way around, they are quickly going to get fed up and leave. We believe in keeping all aspects of the website as simple as possible; a great site doesn't have to be super complicated. A study has shown visitors to a website don't like visual complexity, the more complex the design, the less it is viewed as beautiful.
Devoid of visual clutter creates an aesthetically uncomplicated experience for the user.
Web Design
An online extension of your brand identity, the design of your website design is more than just arranging things on screen; it impacts how visitors perceive your brand and your business. It should also align with all other aspects of your visual identity, maintaining consistency across all applications, building recognition and trust in your brand.
Simple is always better. It draws attention to what’s essential for the user almost instantly.
Web Design
Be seen all over the world without leaving your office and make sure your website tells customers everything they need to know, without having to say a word. Capture the attention of billions and let us create a website that makes a statement.
Tips for Web Design
Be responsive.
Your website should be fully responsive to offer a seamless experience on all devices from desktops to mobiles. If not be prepared for visitors to bounce!
Don’t skimp on photography.
If you can use high-quality bespoke photography on your website, this can make a huge difference visually. Always avoid poor quality images or standard stock photos; these can do more harm than good.
Pay attention to typography.
Ensure all copy is laid out and displayed well with plenty of space. Never use large scrolling blocks of text, break them up for easier reading and creating more exciting layouts. And finally, pay close attention to colour pairings in typography, use contrasting colours and tones for clear legibility.
Our Process
How you look has a significant impact on how your potential customers perceive your brand and let them know if it’s the right one for them. At Rebus we follow a 5-step process to ensure that the final outcome not only makes you look good but works for you too.
Discover
Good design starts with a good ear.
To understand a client and their needs, we first ask questions to develop a clear understanding of their business, their industry, their goals and target market.
Define
He who sets-off without a destination in mind will most probably end up nowhere.
In the design process, to get to the right end result, we set clear goals from the outset.
Design
Homework is done, crack open a packet of Hob Nobs and a brand new Sharpie!
Once we have defined the direction and developed a good understanding of the personality of the business, we grab a blank sheet of paper, a pen and a mug of Yorkshire tea.
Refine
Simplify. Simplify. Simplify.
After receiving feedback, we then refine our ideas, fonts are chosen to suit the personality and character of the company, alignment, construction, sizing, spacings and colour are all considered at this stage.
Develop
The design of a great logo is not the end, but the beginning of a great brand identity.
After we have worked so hard to create an identity that we are all proud of, let’s keep it that way!
