bigflannel Bespoke Websites

bigflannel bespoke websites are designed and built from the ground up to meet a specific purpose. In a fully bespoke site, all aspects of the site are made to order and consequently are within our control. This means we can deliver whatever you need and be confident moving forward we have a platform that can grow with you and that we can support. Alternatively, if there is either an admin or front-end template that is fit-for-purpose, a bespoke site might make use of this, with customization, for a more cost-effective solution. Although templates can be a cost-effective way to produce a site, especially with customization to make a site unique, compromises have to be made. Fully bespoke sites do not involve compromise, but the budget is significantly higher to produce one, as is the time to implementation.

A typical bigflannel bespoke website design and build involves:

  • client needs assessment to determine website purpose
  • review of template solutions given website purpose
