WEB DESIGN IN BRISTOL
Websites helping you increase your impact
You don’t need us to tell you how important a website is. Whether you’re a business looking to increase profit, a charity needing more donations or a good cause wanting to raise awareness, your site’s design is make-or-break.
From its studio in Bristol, Bara Studio builds bespoke websites which are human-focused and results-oriented. This means the design is creative and clear, SEO is optimised to get your message out there, and the copywriting matches your brand’s tone of voice while being easy to understand and engage your audience.
We have a large portfolio of custom-built sites ranging from one-page scrolling sites helping to launch a business or a campaign, to award-winning letting agents with integrated databases, or sites with custom-coding allowing users to write a prayer on an interactive prayer-wall.
HOPE Spaces
An interactive, multimedia website featuring a custom-built prayer-wall
In the darkness of lockdown, we worked with Better Story and 4D Digital to produce a one-of-a-kind site for HOPE Spaces. This new website was aimed at young adults, with an image-heavy design, combined with video, audio and written experiences. The key feature was a custom-built, interactive prayer wall which allowed users to leave a ‘hand written’ note in a communal space.
Balloon Letting Co.
A lettings agency site with an integrated database, blog and custom animations
We developed a brand for Bristol’s first ethical letting’s agency, and built a seriously capable website which helped propel it into a hugely successful start. The site is designed in line with a brand strategy, and combines great blog content with a sophisticated property database to keep it performing exceptionally well on Google.
Purposefest
Event launch website built using a single page
We partnered with Purposefest to help them launch their first ever event in Bristol, UK, in March 2023. The website combines a custom header video with bespoke graphics and a beautiful layout to inspire attendees and promote a single point of action: buy your tickets!
SEAN International
Multilingual site providing courses to users all over the world
We redesigned the SEAN website and gave it an up to date look and feel, as well as placing great emphasis on the user experience. Refreshed images, custom graphics and a neat dual-language feature have helped it to reach thousands of new users.
How does it work?
-
We start the journey by getting to know you, your audience, your purpose and how the website helps with the mission. If you already have a brand strategy in place, we will use this.
Also, before we start building the site, we’ll ask for existing domain name information, any partner logos, social media account details (if you want those accounts connected to the site, like an Instagram feed), testimonials, and calendar information etc. (We can assist you with choosing and purchasing your domains.)
-
We use the incredible Squarespace and Wordpress platforms to create websites. Both are industry-leaders for web design, and they have different strengths and weaknesses. After an initial consultation with you, we will carefully select the platform which suits you based on your specific requirements.
-
Now we can create a website map (a list of the pages and how they are linked together) and start thinking about the basic design and site features.
After this we move on to content creation/collection. This includes videos, links to external sources, page copy, products and articles. Top quality visual assets (such as video, photos or illustrations) are incredibly important for the user experience and we pride ourselves in being able to work with you to produce these in line with your brand.
-
After the strategy and design, we will create a first draft of your new site. Our team will combine the words produced by our expert copywriters, creative assets from our in-house designers, and robust SEO optimisation to make sure this is a website built to compete at the highest level.
-
After some solid testing we hit ‘go’! At this point, we organise some light training to get you up to speed, and give you the skills to maintain and update your site. We will always be able and willing to assist you with minor details - or for a more substantial partnership we can talk about after-care:
With an after care support package, we will be on hand to carry out monthly updates to make sure that your site continues to perform well on searches, and keeping your audience engaged with up to date content. This might include a blog, pages updates or galleries, for example.
