Revitalising your website is essential for maintaining relevance and
competitiveness in today's fast-paced digital world. A refresh allows
you to adopt modern design principles, ensuring your site is fully
responsive and delivers a seamless user experience across all devices.
Why

Sports Clubs
Sports Clubs
A modernised website is crucial for a sports club's success in the
digital age, extending far beyond a simple online brochure.
One primary reason is to enhance the member experience, making it
effortless for them to find schedules, check scores, enter
competitions or sign up for memberships on any device through a
responsive design.
In addition, a modern site leverages current SEO best practices,
driving organic traffic and increasing visibility to potential
sponsors and new recruits who are searching online. The up-to-date
security features and reliable hosting protect sensitive member data
and ensure the club's online operations run smoothly and securely.
Hospitality
Hospitality
Revamping your hospitality website is essential for commercial
success. In particular, it is crucial to ensure a seamless and
intuitive mobile experience, as the majority of potential customers
browse and make decisions on their smartphones.
Secondly, a contemporary design signals professionalism and relevance,
directly reflecting the quality and experience of your restaurant; a
dated website can suggest that your establishment is similarly behind
the times.
A modern site should be built for conversion, featuring clear
calls-to-action for online reservations and easy access to the menu,
often integrating directly with modern POS or booking systems. Also,
updating the site is essential for SEO and security, ensuring it ranks
well in local searches and protects both your business and customer
data with the latest security protocols.
Services
Services
Modernising a services website is no longer a luxury but a critical
business necessity driven by evolving customer expectations and
technological advancements.
The main reason is the immediate impact on the Total Customer
Experience. An outdated, slow, or non-mobile-friendly site frustrates
visitors, leading to high bounce rates and lost business
opportunities.
Also, legacy platforms are often plagued by security vulnerabilities
and compliance issues, exposing the business and its client data to
substantial risk.
Ultimately, this strategic investment reduces long-term maintenance
costs and technical debt, ensuring that you, as a service provider,
remain competitive and future-proof in the digital marketplace.
Non Profits
Non Profits
A contemporary non-profit website is a crucial investment that
directly impacts an organization's mission and sustainability.
The primary reasons include credibility, usability, and fundraising
effectiveness. An outdated website immediately damages credibility,
because a non-mobile-friendly or slow site suggests the charity is
behind the times or poorly managed.
Importantly, a streamlined, secure donation process is non-negotiable
for maximizing contributions. Ultimately, a non-profit website should
serve as a powerful, dynamic tool for engagement rather than a static
digital brochure.
Producers
Producers
Modernising your producer website is a crucial step for maintaining
relevance and competitiveness.
This is because an outdated site is often slow, difficult to navigate,
and lacks mobile responsiveness, leading to high bounce rates and lost
opportunities.
Furthermore, a modern site ensures improved security, protecting
sensitive business and client data from contemporary cyber threats.
Visually, a fresh design is essential for maintaining brand
credibility and professionalism, signaling to potential partners and
customers that the company is forward-thinking.
We have a Facebook page. Why do we need a professional website?
Relying solely on a social media platform is a bit like building a
house on rented land - you don’t actually own the property, and the
landlord can change the rules at any time. Having a professional
website shows your organisation is established and professional.
Why can’t I just do it myself using a website builder?
You absolutely can build your own website using tools like
Squarespace, Wix, or Shopify. However, the "DIY vs.
Professional" debate isn't just about whether you can do it - it’s
about the opportunity cost and the invisible technical gaps.
Building a decent website yourself typically takes 40 to 100 hours
of learning, troubleshooting, and design. Also, many website
builders are "closed systems. If you want to retrieve your
information and move elsewhere, you often can't just export your
site.
I have seen a website design I like. Can you build something similar
for me?
Absolutely! If you describe the website or share specific details
about it, I can identify and replicate the layout, reverse-engineer
its features and match its fonts and colours.
What is the cost of designing and building a modern website?
When hiring a professional to build a modern, bespoke website for
you, you are paying for expertise and time. The cost will
depend entirely on whether you are building a simple digital
business card or a high-performance piece of online real estate. A small club website might cost around $1000, whereas one with added
functionality, like a membership signup system, might cost proportionately
more.
How long does it take to complete a typical project?
Typically, a one-page website takes 1 to 2 weeks to complete,
although I have built some faster than that.
A website with 6 to 8 pages normally takes 4 to 6 weeks to go
live. However, in practice, factors like the content bottleneck
(text and photos not yet available) or custom features may extend
the timeline.
What content do I need to provide?
Essentially two things – the words and the assets. The words
include both text for the pages and things like captions for photos. The assets include good quality photos and documents such as
membership application forms or policies.
Do you offer support and maintenance after launch?
All projects include free support and maintenance for a short period
to fix any bugs or issues that may arise immediately after launch.
Following this, a support and maintenance package will be quoted for separately.
This includes content updates, plugin updates, site backups, feature enhancements
and performance tuning.
Will my information be safe?
Website security is no longer a "luxury" feature—it is a standard
requirement. While no system on the internet is 100%
unhackable, a modern professional website is significantly more
secure than a Facebook page. All Mart.I.N’s websites include an
SSL Certificate (HTTPS). This creates an encrypted "tunnel" between
your visitor's browser and your server to ensure privacy.
