What is included in an image website
- Positioning brief. We agree the message, the audience and the tone before any design work.
- Custom design. A layout built around your brand identity, photos and products, for desktop and mobile.
- Copy. Short brand texts, service or product descriptions and the about page, written by our copywriter.
- Visual content. Photo selection and processing, galleries, short video on the first screen if it helps.
- Build. WordPress or MODX, or Next.js for heavier interaction; images in modern formats with lazy loading.
- Contact paths. Form, messenger buttons, booking or subscription block, delivered to email or a CRM such as HubSpot.
- SEO basics. Titles, descriptions, headings, alt texts, schema.org Organization markup, sitemap and Search Console.
- Analytics. GA4 and Google Tag Manager with events for requests and clicks.
Design and speed together
Image sites often fail on phones: large photos, heavy animation and slow first load. We keep the first screen light, compress photos and load galleries on demand, then check the page in PageSpeed Insights. Animation stays where it helps the story. The same site then works for ads, SEO and links from social media.
How an image website is built
- Brief and references. Brand, audience, sites you like and why.
- Structure and copy. Page list, message and texts for approval.
- Design. Custom layout for desktop and mobile.
- Build. CMS, galleries, forms, analytics, speed checks.
- Launch. Domain, SSL, tests, handover and training.
How long does an image website take?
Up to 10 working days after the brief is agreed and we have your logo, brand guidelines, photos and texts or the facts for them. A photo shoot, custom illustrations or 3D graphics add time; we set the date after the brief.
Several language versions or a shop section turn the project into a larger build. For an online store the timeline is up to 15 working days.
What affects the cost of an image website
We quote after the brief. The main factors:
- number of pages and unique templates;
- custom illustrations, animation or video;
- photo shoot or licensed stock;
- copywriting volume and language versions;
- integrations: booking, newsletter, CRM.
What we need from you
- Logo and brand guidelines, if they exist.
- Photos of products, premises or team, or a plan for a shoot.
- Three to five reference sites and what you like in each.
- Facts for the story: history, values, awards you can prove.
What you get and how we measure it
The site should support the brand and bring contacts:
- a finished site with admin access and a short editing guide;
- GA4 events for requests, calls and messenger clicks;
- mobile Core Web Vitals checked before handover;
- brand and service queries tracked in Search Console.
Why an image site needs a team
The problems we see most often on brand sites:
- beautiful pages with no clear contact path, so visitors leave;
- text placed inside images, which Google cannot read;
- heavy video and animation that make the site slow on phones;
- no one on the client side who can update the site.
Working with a Kyiv team remotely
We work remotely with companies in the UK, the EU and North America: video calls, email, Telegram or WhatsApp, and shared documents for plans and reports. Kyiv is on UTC+2 (UTC+3 in summer), so our working day covers most of the UK and EU business day and the morning on the US East Coast. You get one project manager who is responsible for the timeline.
