When it comes to service businesses, a website is not an option any more – it’s a necessity. If you’re looking for a high-quality, professional website that will help you connect with new customers and increase sales, then you need FutureProof Digital. We specialize in service web design and development, and can create a website that is both beautiful and functional. No matter what type of business you run, we can help you get online and start seeing results.
The service industry has changed. Remote delivery , service-based contracting, and more have made the service industry one of the most competitive markets out there. If you’re looking to take your service business online, you need a website that will help you stand out from the competition.
Where it all started for FutureProof Digital, more than a decade ago. Our first websites were for businesses in the construction sector; building contractors, trades like carpentry, but most of painting and decorating. This is probably what we do best; deliver websites that impress potential customers, rank for the search terms that matter to your business and earn you more business.
Service web design means a lot to us because so many local providers have a poor online presence, and we want to change that. Our pricing structure of a website like the one you need is highly competitive, in many cases your business will only need to secure one or two good jobs to pay for your website. And don’t forget, with FutureProof Digital your domain name and web hosting is free in the first year.

As your business grows, service web design will start to mean something very different to you. Not only can you take in enquiries, but you take bookings, directly on your website, without you having to lift a finger. Managing your bookings, if you run a beauty salon for example, and as you employ more staff, becomes more difficult. Your website can take care of all this for you, and FutureProof Digital have the specialist software you need.

Our commitment to quality in web design starts with software, we cut no corners, we only use the best. Our software is extensively tested for speed, compatibility and optimization. We take great care to choose the suite of software your business needs, not because of cost, but to maximize the performance of your website. Service web design, like all web design requires a software set that delivers design and user experience excellence.
WordPress Web Design
As of this year WordPress powers 43.3% of all websites on the internet, and 300 of the top 1000 sites. But that’s not why we use it, we use it because of you. WordPress web design is faster and better than any other platform; Wix, SquareSpace or Shopify are not in the same bracket. Faster means efficiency and value for money. Every client asks, “can I easily update the website myself ?” and the answer, most of the time is YES !! Some websites require a little training but in most cases a WordPress website is as easy to run as a Facebook page.
Elementor Websites
Elementor is a professional web design tool. It is known as a visual website builder, but it does so much more than that. Used in conjunction with WordPress every aspect of your website is designed, not using a theme or template, but with your business branding. Menu, header and footer, single pages, single posts and archive pages. If you run an online store, Elementor is used to create your shop page, the product pages, the checkout pages and the customer account. Elementor is the magic that brings your website to life.
Crocoblock Websites
Crocoblock, the new kid on the block. It has changed WordPress, changed web development and changed web design. It’s a database management system and much more. It offers endless customisation and dynamic content possibilities. In plain English; we can develop ever increasing complexity, in half the time, whilst offering our clients a user experience and editing simplicity that was science fiction only a few years ago. Your website, powered by Crocoblock functions with the intelligence that in the past only large corporations could afford.
The starting point for every web design project is to choose your domain name. A number of factors influence this decision; location, target market, price, availability. If you offer services locally, or sell products only in Ireland you need a .ie domain name. This tells Google that you’re an Irish business (the same applies to every country, .co.uk in the UK for example). If you plan to sell internationally then a .com domain name is the best option. Next, is your company name available? For example yourcompanyname.com. If it is… great !! If not, we’ll have to come up with some other ideas. Either way, we take care of everything, and we even pay for the registration for the first year in full.
Web Hosting… we take care of that too. At FutureProof Digital we use a provider called SiteGround, but other options are available depending on the specific requirements of your business. Just like your domain name we provide your web hosting for a full year, and when that year is up we transfer your website to your own dedicated hosting plan, completely free of charge.
Every service web design client at FutureProof Digital get an SEO package included…
SEO Services are not complete without Local SEO. Most of our clients are SMEs; small, local businesses, and the focus of their digital marketing is on their town or city. Over the past number of years search results have become more and more personalised. What you see might be different from the person standing next to you, and will certainly be different 100km away. That’s why the search results in YOUR area need to be targeted for your business keywords.
A large part of this is your Google business profile. The Google My Business platform powers the business listings on Google Maps, and three of these listings are displayed on almost every results page these days. You need to be one of those three listings !! Reviews are a vital component of this. Facebook reviews are great, TripAdvisor and all the others, but the real power of a review comes from Google My Business. You should send all of your customers there to leave a review.
