Website redesign or refresh

An attractive website design is of course a must but does it immediately present potential UK customers with the required minimum information?
Studies in the UK show that if visitors cannot find the information they require on a website within ~30 seconds they will move on to another Website.

Does your website fulfil this criteria?
Is the web design slow to load?
Once the website has loaded is it immediately apparent who you are and what you offer?
Is your Web design navigation simple and straightforward?
Is your Website design up-to-date or do links lead no-where or even worse to incorrect information?
Does your Website design cater for multilingual or bilingual users as well as UK users?

If not you are loosing potential customers to your website.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Many website designs are almost invisible to search-engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing etc.
This is critical as ~80% of UK web surfers use search engines when they initially go on-line to look for a product or service so therefore Search Engine Optimisation is critical.

But as I'm sure you have experienced, the moment your website is public the spam emails promising the earth from so called "Search Engine Optimisers" start to arrive. The sad fact is this whole area has become victim to scam merchants and people who plainly don't know what they are doing....

There have recently been huge changes to the Google Search Algorithm (Panda and Penguin) which has hit most websites very negatively - destroying years of careful optimisation. The long and the short of it is, if your website is of a reasonable layout with good content and clear navigation (and ours always are) then the ONLY thing that makes a difference is 3rd party linking from "quality" sites - the rest you can forget. And there in lies the problem - it is difficult to do!

We outsource all our off page SEO requirements now (though of course our websites are fully optimised for Search Engines "on page") because it requires skills that frankly don't have much to do with web development - therefore we leave it to the professionals.

We are therefore delighted to have found a really trust-worthy and professional company working out of Australia - SEOJuice SEO. We have handed a few of our clients onto Dave and his staff and we have been very impressed with their professionalism and competence.
