Do You Need a Web Designer or a Web Developer for Your NDIS Website? Learn the Difference.

Understanding the Language: Web Designer vs. Web Developer

First things first, let's sort out the terminology. 'Web designer' and 'web developer' might sound similar, but they bring different services to the table in the website-building process.



Imagine your web designer as the creative guru. They focus on the look, the feel and the user journey on your website. They play with colour schemes, fonts and layouts to ensure your website is not just a pretty face, but also a pleasure to navigate. Think of them as the architects of the digital world, sketching out your site's visual blueprint.

Now, the web developer, they're the tech wizards. They take the designer's blueprint and wave their coding wand to bring it to life. They handle the nitty-gritty technical stuff — we're talking about things like custom interactive features, back-end services, database management and more.

So, you're probably wondering: "Which one do I need as an NDIS provider?" Well, if you're looking for a brochure-style website — a site that gives a rundown of your services, with simple features like a participant referral form — then a web designer should do the trick. They'll whip up a visually stunning, user-friendly website that tells your story to the people who visit your site.

The Importance of Specialist Knowledge

Let's face it, as an NDIS provider, you've got a unique set of needs when it comes to your website. It's not just about looking good online, it's about effectively communicating your services, demonstrating compliance with NDIS standards and ensuring your website is accessible to all users.

That's why partnering with an agency that specialises in the needs of NDIS providers is a bit of a game-changer. An agency that knows the ins and outs of the NDIS sector will understand what your website needs to tick all the right boxes. They'll be able to integrate essential elements like clear service descriptions, accessible design and a strong focus on the people you support.

And the best part? A specialist agency takes care of both web design and web development under one roof. That means you get a seamless service from a team that understands your business inside out. No need to juggle multiple professionals or worry about miscommunication between a designer and a developer. Your agency will handle it all, from creating a beautiful, user-friendly design to adding any complex features you might need as your business grows.

Here at 2Brownies, we pride ourselves on our deep understanding of the NDIS sector. We've crafted numerous NDIS provider websites that hit the mark in terms of design, functionality and compliance. And we've got a tonne of resources (like this blog post on the importance of a good website for NDIS providers) to help you understand the website journey better.

In the next section, we'll take a closer look at why a web designer is typically the right choice for NDIS providers, and when you might need the additional skills of a web developer.

As an NDIS provider, you've got a lot on your plate. You're busy delivering crucial services, supporting people and ensuring compliance with NDIS standards. The last thing you need is the stress of managing separate web design, web development and content writing services. That's where an all-in-one website package comes in.

An all-in-one website package takes the hassle out of creating your online presence. It combines web design and web development into one simple, streamlined process. Plus, it includes professional content writing services to really capture your mission and services in words that connect with your audience.

Starting with an all-in-one website package offers a couple of key benefits:

1. Simplicity: You deal with one team who handles everything, from the visual design and technical functionality to crafting engaging content. No more juggling different services or worrying about coordinating between separate professionals.
2. Quality: A team specialising in NDIS websites knows exactly what your website needs to succeed. They'll ensure it's not only beautiful and functional, but also compliant with NDIS standards and accessibility requirements.

Remember, your website is more than just a digital brochure. It's a platform that represents your brand, tells your story and connects with the people you support. A professionally written website is more engaging, persuasive and effective at conveying your services and values.

Here at 2Brownies, we offer comprehensive NDIS website packages that cover all these bases and more. We understand the NDIS sector inside out, and we create modern, professional websites that truly reflect the mission of our clients.
