Website layouts
One of the most important aspects of our website designs is that your site should have a very clear navigational structure and layout.
Your visitors will appreciate being able to land on the page they need to be on and to be clearly directed to other aspects of your services.
We have created a few general layout ideas which can be seen as basic frameworks to build on. Each of these would be adapted to your particular requirements, colours, imagery etc to add that extra “wow’ factor to your website.
Please take a moment to consider which, or a combination of the layouts that might work as a basic framework to start with.
1. Basic Plain
A clean layout with navigation right of your logo/name.
2. Basic – Vertical Menu
Again a simple, clean structure with the menu / navigation aligned to the left of the page.
3. Basic – centre aligned horizontal menu
Here the logo occupies the top of the page and the navigation centrally aligned to the page.
The following are some basic variations of draft number 3 showing how various visuals can be incorporated.
4. Banner
The banner can feature quotes. Services, click through calls to action and so on.
5. Modular
The boxes can feature mainline services or signposting to other services, resources.
And finally this is an idea of how background colours and images can be used.
6. Background
These basic layouts can help guide us to create the wireframe that will house your content, once this is in place each page would be developed to complement its purpose.
Looking forward to hearing from you, please contact us if you have any questions at all regarding this step.
I can highly recommend Mark Bate and his company YouCan Consulting if you are a therapist who wants a bespoke website as well as marketing advice. I found Mark incredibly helpful, attentive and patient as he guided me through the process of designing a website for my private practice. I ended up with all that I had hoped for, and more. Mark understands the challenges of psychological practice and the tension that professionals face in marketing their services while retaining an ethical stance. His warm and friendly nature made him a pleasure to deal with at all times.

"Thanks Mark for an excellent job. My website looks great! People have given me really good feedback saying it works well, looks good and is easy to navigate. You gave so generously of your time, and your expertise means I have been able to achieve more than I had originally hoped for."
Dr Alesia Moulton-Perkins

"Mark has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Patient, professional, approachable and he is very good at what he does. There were a few technical issues during the implementation process that would have left this technophobe's head spinning, but Mark was helpful and easily and simply explained the difficult. I love my new website. It is exactly what I had hoped for and wanted. I credit Mark's excellent work and creativity in being instrumental in helping me build my business through my internet presence. I highly recommend YouCan Consulting."

Mark and the YouCan consulting team have been absolutely fantastic in helping developing our new therapy website, and at very reasonable costs. Mark's expertise in designing the site and his informed advice regarding its content has been invaluable.
He has been incredibly patient throughout the process, despite multiple requests and re-edits, and he has worked hard to meet each and every one of our needs and preferences. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.
Dr Gabriel Brady

"Mark has worked closely with me to really understand, clarify & create the branding, content and overall 'feel' for the various elements of my developing practice and has always proved to be insightful, efficient and very much focused on my needs. His ability to translate what is in one's mind into something tangible and effective is evident as is his balance of warmth & credibility. I look forward to working with him for many years to come and would certainly strongly recommend him as an important resource for anyone looking to move into, refresh or build a private practice."
