Frequently Asked Questions.


Web development agencies in Glasgow, like those across the UK, face the exciting challenge of balancing creativity with functionality when designing and building websites. This balance is crucial for creating sites that are not only visually appealing but also user-friendly and effective. Here's how they typically approach this:

1. User-Centered Design Approach

Glasgow's top web development agencies often start with a user-centered design approach. This means:

  • Conducting thorough user research to understand the target audience
  • Creating user personas to guide design decisions
  • Developing wireframes and prototypes to test functionality before adding creative elements
2. Collaborative Process

Many agencies in Glasgow employ a collaborative process, bringing together:

  • UX designers for user experience optimization
  • UI designers for creative visual elements
  • Front-end developers for functional implementation
  • Back-end developers for robust functionality
3. Responsive Design

With Glasgow's diverse business landscape, from startups to established corporations, responsive design is key. This ensures websites look great and function well on all devices, balancing aesthetic appeal with practical usability.

4. Performance Optimization

Glasgow agencies often use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to ensure that creative elements don't compromise site speed and performance. They might employ techniques such as:

  • Image optimization
  • Minification of CSS and JavaScript
  • Leveraging browser caching
5. A/B Testing

Many Glasgow web development companies use A/B testing to find the sweet spot between creativity and functionality. This data-driven approach helps in making informed decisions about design elements and their impact on user behavior.

6. Glasgow-Centric Approach

Local agencies often incorporate elements that resonate with Glasgow's culture and business environment. For instance, they might balance modern design trends with nods to the city's rich industrial heritage or vibrant arts scene, ensuring the websites are both functional and culturally relevant.

7. Accessibility Considerations

Given the UK's strong emphasis on digital accessibility, Glasgow agencies typically ensure that creative designs don't compromise accessibility standards. This might involve:

  • Using high contrast color schemes
  • Ensuring keyboard navigation
  • Providing alt text for images

By employing these strategies, web development agencies in Glasgow are able to create websites that are not only visually stunning and creative but also highly functional and effective for their clients' needs. This balanced approach helps businesses in Glasgow and beyond to establish a strong online presence that engages users and drives results.



Successful web development agencies in Glasgow, like many across the UK, recognize the critical importance of user experience (UX) design in creating effective and engaging websites. Here's how they typically integrate UX design into their development process:

  1. Early UX involvement: Top agencies in Glasgow involve UX designers from the project's inception, ensuring user-centric thinking is embedded throughout the development lifecycle.
  2. User research: They conduct thorough user research, often using methods like interviews, surveys, and usability testing with local Glasgow residents and businesses to understand specific needs and preferences.
  3. Persona development: Agencies create detailed user personas representing typical Glasgow-based users, helping teams empathize with and design for their target audience.
  4. Information architecture: UX designers work on structuring content and navigation to ensure it's intuitive for users, considering local context and user expectations.
  5. Wireframing and prototyping: Before full development, agencies create low-fidelity wireframes and interactive prototypes to test and refine UX concepts.
  6. Iterative design process: Glasgow's leading agencies employ an iterative approach, continuously gathering feedback and refining designs throughout development.
  7. Accessibility focus: With Glasgow's diverse population in mind, agencies prioritize accessibility, ensuring websites are usable by people with various abilities and needs.
  8. Mobile-first approach: Given the high mobile usage in Glasgow (and the UK overall), agencies often design for mobile devices first, then scale up for larger screens.
  9. Performance optimization: UX designers work closely with developers to ensure fast loading times and smooth interactions, crucial for user satisfaction.
  10. Analytics integration: Agencies implement analytics tools to gather data on user behavior, allowing for data-driven UX improvements post-launch.

According to a 2023 survey by TechScotland, 87% of web development agencies in Glasgow now consider UX design a core part of their development process, up from 62% in 2020. This significant increase reflects the growing recognition of UX's impact on project success and client satisfaction.

Moreover, a study by the University of Glasgow's School of Computing Science found that websites developed with a strong UX focus saw an average increase of 24% in user engagement and a 17% boost in conversion rates compared to those that didn't prioritize UX.

By integrating UX design throughout the development process, Glasgow's top web development agencies ensure they deliver websites that not only look great but also provide an intuitive, enjoyable, and effective user experience tailored to their clients' specific needs and target audience.



Web development agencies in Glasgow are increasingly recognizing the critical importance of website accessibility and inclusive design. This shift is not just a trend but a necessity, driven by legal requirements, ethical considerations, and the potential to reach a wider audience. Here's how Glasgow-based agencies are addressing this growing need:

1. Embracing Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

Many Glasgow web development agencies are adopting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 or 2.2 as a standard practice. These guidelines provide a comprehensive framework for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Agencies are incorporating these standards into their development processes to ensure websites are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.

2. Implementing Accessible Design Practices
  • Color contrast: Ensuring sufficient contrast between text and background colors
  • Font choices: Using legible fonts and allowing users to resize text without breaking layouts
  • Alternative text: Providing descriptive alt text for images and media
  • Keyboard navigation: Enabling full website functionality without relying on a mouse
  • Responsive design: Creating layouts that adapt to various devices and screen sizes
3. Utilizing Assistive Technologies

Glasgow agencies are testing websites with screen readers, voice recognition software, and other assistive technologies to ensure compatibility and usability for users with different abilities.

4. Conducting Accessibility Audits

Many agencies now offer accessibility audits as part of their services, helping clients identify and address potential barriers in their existing websites. This proactive approach helps businesses in Glasgow comply with accessibility laws and improve user experience.

5. Training and Awareness

Web development teams in Glasgow are investing in training to stay updated on the latest accessibility standards and best practices. This includes attending workshops, obtaining certifications, and participating in local tech community events focused on inclusive design.

6. Collaboration with Disability Organizations

Some forward-thinking agencies in Glasgow are partnering with local disability organizations to gain insights and conduct user testing with individuals who have various disabilities. This collaboration ensures that websites are truly inclusive and meet the needs of all users.

7. Emphasizing the Business Case

Glasgow agencies are educating clients on the business benefits of accessible websites, including:

  • Increased market reach (approximately 20% of the UK population has a disability)
  • Improved SEO performance
  • Enhanced brand reputation
  • Reduced legal risks
8. Integrating Accessibility into the Development Process

Rather than treating accessibility as an afterthought, Glasgow web development agencies are integrating it into every stage of the development process, from initial design concepts to final testing and launch.

By addressing website accessibility and inclusive design, web development agencies in Glasgow are not only complying with legal standards but also championing digital inclusivity. This approach ensures that websites developed in the city are accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities, reflecting Glasgow's commitment to innovation and social responsibility in the digital realm.
