Digital Outsourcing

Posted on by Melissa Priest

Outsourcing Digital and IT work is smart for businesses of all shapes and sizes.

Outsourcing offers many benefits:

  • access to a variety of skillsets and qualifications
  • flexibility in scaling resources up and down when you need to
  • cost effective
  • resources that are up to date with the latest trends and technologies
  • a fresh perspective for your business solutions

Small businesses are often too small to justify an in-house digital resource so outsourcing as and when you need to is the way to go.  We don’t recommend trying to do everything yourself as it’s probably not the best use of your time or why you got into your business in the first place, so outsourcing to an expert is a much smarter idea.

Medium businesses still want to maintain a fairly lean team and depending on the type of business you probably also can’t justify having a digital resource.

Outsourcing allows a business to draw on external resources when they need them, thereby being a cost effective and flexible solution for your business.

Larger businesses may also look to outsource to an external team if their internal teams are stretched, they have a large project that they need more resources for, or they require access to a different skillset not available internally.

We can help you in all of these situations with a range of services:

  • website design, development, maintenance and support – WordPress, Big Commerce, Shopify and more. We can also deliver bespoke web applications and e-commerce facilities.
  • graphic design – logo creation, marketing collateral (business cards, pamphlets, banners etc etc), social media graphics, online banners and more
  • user experience and technical reviews of your site
  • consultation / guidance on your digital presence
  • e-newsletter design and development
  • social media – profile creation, organic posts, paid advertising
  • website hosting and more

Whether you’re a small business trying to do everything yourself, or a larger business in need of some extra help please Contact Us and we can slot straight into your team for as many hours as you need.

One Page Websites – a great solution for small business

Posted on by Melissa Priest

Recently we have designed and developed quite a few “one page websites”. A one page website is one long page that provides a professional overview of your business.

One page websites are useful for new businesses starting out (especially small businesses), for businesses that don’t have or want a lot of content on their website and also for those on a budget and looking for a cheaper alternative to a multi page website.

A one page website gives you the opportunity to have a professional presence online for a much smaller investment than a typical website. It gives a great first impression for your business and allows potential customers to build trust in your business, so much better than not having a website.

Our one page websites typically include 4 sections:

  1. a top section which includes logo, social media icons / links, navigation and a header graphic with intro caption
  2. second section which generally includes an about us introduction to the business or owner
  3. third section which gives an overview of the services of the business, this could also be switched out for products depending on the type of business
  4. then finally a contact section which includes a contact form and contact details of the business.

A website of this size allows you to introduce your company and it’s products or services and for the user to gain a snapshot of who you are and what you do.

You can add other sections for a small additional cost such as a gallery of images, a section to introduce your team, a social media feed and more.

Some of the recent one page websites we have designed:

Here is some feedback we received from one of these website designs.

Just starting a small business and I had no idea where to start with website design and associated social media links. Melissa at Scrolling Digital was amazing to work with establishing a website that not only met but enhanced the brief. Mel’s professionalism and communication throughout the process resulted in the process being efficient and stress free. I would highly recommend Scrolling Digital. Brooke
