Web design is the process of creating websites. It encompasses several different aspects, including webpage layout, content production, and graphic design. While the terms web design and web development are often used interchangeably, web design is technically a subset of the broader category of web development.
What is responsive web design?
Responsive web design is an approach to web design in which the web developer strives for an optimal web experience for a wide range of devices (from desktop computer screens to mobile phones). The design of a responsive website scales with the size of a screen, without compromising on text readability or usability of the user interface.
What are web design services?
Web design is primarily the design of websites, but the term is often used in a broader sense, in which the technical development of websites is also seen as part of the process. Because these two parts are often not carried out by the same person, a division can also be made between web design, which mainly focuses on the front-end of websites, and web development (web development), which focuses on the backend, or its technical realization. Web design shows similarities with the graphic design of traditional printed matter, but there are striking differences. For example, video and audio can be part of web design and the interaction with the visitors is different.

Is web design coding?
Webdesign has been in existence since the publication of Netscape 1.0 (Mosaic) in 1995. The design and construction of an internet site have matured over the past 20 years. Then you made your own web pages with for example Microsoft FrontPage and TextEdit. DreamWeaver came later. It was pioneering. A few years ago, websites were built with Flash. Responsive was not an issue at all. How different is it now? Now a mobile-first approach is important for your Google ranking and Flash doesn’t even work on the average Mac. The technique is fast, so make sure you are aware of the latest developments and change your website if necessary.
Nowadays…
And now what? The possibilities for designing and coding a website have been expanded and improved, and many different web disciplines have emerged; it has long since ceased to be the case that a website is provided by one person. Certainly not with complex, professional websites.
WordPress
Thanks to WordPress, coding is no longer necessary. This means that having a website is a lot more accessible than just having one ten years ago. Thanks to WordPress, having and maintaining a blog is easier than ever. A blog is also a great tool for SEO.

A well-visited website requires the necessary maintenance and updates. Compare it with a shop or an office; if there is a lot of activity inside the office, there is regular cleaning, isn’t there?
After all, you always want to be assured of a perfectly functioning and, above all, safe website for your (potential) customers, right? The following components are the most frequent/important for your website:
- WordPress Updates
WordPress updates simply have to be carried out. And preferably as quickly as possible, because often it’s about security. FML Marketing takes care of that for you and immediately checks whether all plug-ins continue to work properly after that update.
- Plugin updates
Every WordPress website has plug-ins. For the same reasons as with WordPress itself, it is important to keep these plug-ins up-to-date. This is also part of our maintenance service.
- Updates of your theme
Does your WordPress website work with a design theme? Themes also have updates, if only to keep up with WordPress updates. You guessed it: we also keep an eye on those updates.
Backups
These updates alone cost you a lot of time. If you don’t do it, you run the risk. If you do it wrong, it can lead to malfunctions and unnecessary costs. For us, updates are a daily occurrence: we do it quickly, professionally and we know exactly what to look out for. That saves you a lot of time and worries.
Backups
Of course, we don’t have to explain the importance of a good backup for you. We will take care of that for you. And in the event of calamities, we also ensure that your website is restored very quickly on the basis of that backup.
Is your site still online?
Due to all kinds of external factors, it can happen that your site is no longer accessible. As part of our maintenance service, we constantly monitor your site and take immediate action if something goes wrong for whatever reason.
Can I maintain my website myself?
Our websites are made in WordPress, which is a very user-friendly CMS system for managing websites. You can, without much technical knowledge, place and/or change texts and media on pages. If you don’t have time for this, we can also place articles and news items for you.
