Inexpensive 1 page site redesign?

by aabonline
9 replies
My website CCRRefills.com has a conversion rate of normally 3 to 4% despite it's very plain look.

I originally didn't care about the look as it didn't get much sales, but its sales are now often higher than my eBay or Amazon sales, so I think it's worth updating the design.

How much would it cost to update the design of this 1 page website?

I would want the programming and general layout to remain largely the same (I programmed the entire website/store) and only to update the visual appearance.

Thank you

    A good and exceptional design is needed for a website. I suggest you that you should change your website design as soon as possible. I think, It will cost you 100-200$ for 1 page site. Thanks.

    You can find many free responsive htm5 templates online. Just choose one you like and download it.

    Then, you can integrate your current site content into the new html template (basically copy and past your content into the new template) and you have the same site with a completely new look.

    This is what I usually do when I want change the look of a website. It's a little bit of a work but at least you know you will get exactly what you want at the end

      Buy in that case also you need to have the idea about the CSS, html and yeah knowledge of Photoshop as you are going to place your own images and that images should be designed as per the template requirements.

        The OP said he developed that website by himself, so he must know enough html and css to copy and paste content into an already existing template and I don't think the Photoshop should be a problem for this either.

        In any case, it's up to the OP what he wants to do.

    Since it's a simple website I like the idea of using a template to update the design, what are good places to find free templates?

    Thank you

    Hey there.

    Using a template as suggested above is a good approach, since it lets you save time on the building part. However there's time to be invested in the customization process to make the template match your website design.

    Stop for a moment. Have a look at your website. What do you see? It is a minimalistic template, loaded with useful information selling your refilling packets. I'd advice to keep this design line, just implement a slight update to match responsive features and cleanse the content presentation for better content flow (it looks a bit overflowed).

    Anyhow, whatever direction you take, share your story here with us!

    Regards,

    If you're savvy with HTML & CSS, then I'd suggest finding a template coded in the Bootstrap Framework. This will ensure that your website design meets mobile-responsive standards.

    Otherwise hire freelancers on:

    - freelancer.com
    - fiverr.com
