Instead, articles that attract the attention of not only a current audience, but are also informative to a potential market as well, are more likely to boost interest in a company’s products or services, but you should ensure your web design is optimally designed to incorporate the right method of delivering these articles.

Web development does not have to be tedious or boring, and here at Click Consult we can not only ensure that the copy never gets old or stale, but we have free search engine optimisation tools that can help break down the sometimes difficult issues of knowing just what a search engine sees, as well as revealing precisely how densely packed with keywords a website might actually be.  The back link checker can precisely demonstrate the popularity of a website in revealing just how many other sites are linked to it, and this also helps to maximise search engine rankings; the more back links, the greater the popularity and the larger number of traffic you will receive.

When you look at a new web design, it is important to remember search engine optimisation as well and ensure the web design is made to work with rather than against the site’s SEO.

When it comes to effective web design and efficient marketing, these are issues that need to be taken into consideration by any company seeking optimal usage from their website.

Without thorough input from your side your consultant will not be able to create a customised marketing campaign for your specific business. A vague and broad spectrum campaign is a waste of time and money as it will add no value to your business.

Checklist to discuss with your consultant

Firstly you need to discuss his credentials with them. It is in your own best interests to ask for references and examples of work he had done in the past. This is important, as you cannot afford to entrust the success of your business to a consultant with a bad track record. What you need to establish is how ethical their work practices are.

You need to know that all their dealings are above board and will not get your website penalised. Discuss with them what changes must be made to your website contents and what additional pages will be added to optimise your site.

Make enquiries as to what else he will be doing for you besides working on optimising your website directly. Ask about maintenance aspects such as adding extra key phrases as time goes on. These are vital questions to ask as your business cannot afford to use a consultant that is not the best or will use all their experience to the advantage of your company.

Feeds enable valuable information to be shared on the simple things too, like relevant holidays or calendar events that might have an impact on business, and can enable both product and service providers to stay ahead of any potential problems or delays that can be a natural part of doing business.  Feeds easily allow for an up to the minute flow of current threads and content on what is happening in related blogs and forums.

RSS XML feeds have been demonstrated to cultivate an active and dedicated following of subscribers so it then becomes vitally important to keep them interested by featuring regular updates either hourly, weekly or on whatever timescale is necessary to quite literally feed the need.

As part of our web design strategies here at Click Consult we believe that these feeds are certainly a vital part of any marketing campaign and should be taken seriously as a widely available marketing tool, because incorporating RSS XML into web development provides an immediate relevancy to doing business online that can easily boost website traffic.

Firstly, whenever you make changes to your website from a web design perspective, you need to make sure that the location of your pages isn’t changed, and if they are then you need to ensure that your old pages are redirected to your new ones. Failure to do so could see your website’s rankings drop drastically, which will cost you money in lost business.

Another consideration is how you intend to improve your website from a usability and conversion perspective. In order to do this you should have detailed statistics showing where your visitors are coming from, what pages of your site they are landing on and how they are travelling down funnels to convert. Without this information, you could end up removing a vital part of your website that offers you conversions, which will also end up costing you money in lost business.

At Click Consult, we’re experts in web design and know how to design an effective website that doesn’t lose any of the successful aspects of the existing website. We’ll ensure that we know what parts of your website work, and what parts do not work, so that your new website offers you more business and more sales.

What a commercial website is not is a piece of art that looks good and serves no other purpose. For this reason you need to be sure that you have a clear ‘call to action’ on your website so that visitors know what they need to do in order to contact you or purchase items.

Sometimes with web design, designers don’t like things to be obvious. Some web designers like to be abstract and create designs that make the user think. This isn’t going to help you to gain enquires or make money from your website, though it might win the designer some kudos with his peers.

A website that doesn’t feature a clear call to action such as a telephone number with clear instructions to call, or a contact form that is easily accessible from your website, won’t receive as many conversions as it should. If your website isn’t converting, it isn’t working for you.

At Click Consult we know how to design a website that not only looks great but also receives a higher conversion rate due to the clear call to action methods we use.

Quick is not always best. Sometimes it takes time and effort to set things straight. On the other hand, it is also the best idea to simply solve the problem right from the get go. Whether you are starting out on web design or need to adjust yours to attract more web traffic, why not try a simple solution that goes a long way?

Simple Simon Websites

There is a series of books available titled the KISS range. KISS stands for Keep It Simple, Stupid. That phrase captures the essence of web design beautifully. You need to keep it simple, you are being foolish of you don’t. Yes, complex can be awe inspiring, but have you ever stopped to think about why? It is impressive because it is intimidating and not easy to understand and navigate.

Intimidation and a sense of not understanding something can give you a false sense of admiration. However, your web traffic may not feel the same way. What they want is something that they can use in the blink of an eye and doesn’t need a user guide.

Fancy stuff is all well and good, but when you are designing your business website you should stick to the simplest choices available to you. The simpler it is, the wider the spectrum of people who can use it without a hitch.

Businesses now have the ability to reach across the world instantly. The Internet never sleeps, so business opportunities never sleep. To be successful you have to stay ahead of the pack. You must make use of every possible tool to give you this edge to stand out from your competitors. Search Engine Optimisation could be the most beneficical tool you will ever use!

Boost to success

SEO does not involve a single factor; it is a combination of techniques within the wider strategy that come together to bring you that coveted high ranking. Optimisation is a long-term process that brings with it long-term benefits to your business. It targets your specific target audience, which means that the people who come to your website are more likely to convert into paying customers because they are already interested in what you offer.

This is the aim of your SEO campaign. You want higher sales as this boosts your profit margin. Using search engine optimisation is the single most effective way for a new business to make its mark online.

For the business that is showing signs of stagnating, SEO is the injection that gives it a new lease on life. Your campaign can be demographic specific as well as geographic specific. This gives a tighter focus and a bigger boost to those businesses which need this form of SEO.

If after a few months, you feel that your website is not performing or your web pages are not indexed, it is time to look into the matter. Here again, it does not mean in the least that your SEO efforts are at fault. There are many factors that could be holding your website back and you have to look at each of them.

Checklist

Take a look at your keywords and go over your optimisation of those keywords to make sure they are fully optimised.   A sitemap is very important and if you do not have one, this is the first thing to rectify. Next, take a look at your link building efforts. It is important to get good inbound links as the search engines look for inbound links. Check over your code and look at the amount of code you are using.

For instance, a website that is nearly completely in Flash are extremely code poor.

Flash does not get indexed. If you use a template for your website, check the template files as there could be an SEO problem there. Make sure that you are targeting the correct keywords and that you are targeting the right audience. Your SEO cannot succeed if there are other problems, it all has to mesh. The best way to sort out your website optimisation is to bring in a professional SEO company to do all the hard work for you.

This reach means the inclusion of all the listings that are rated at the top of the search engine’s search results page. The reason for this is that people do not find specific websites in only one way. Consumers do land on business websites through a direct search engine search, which is fact. But searchers also reach the websites of marketers through intermediaries.

We now have social networks, photo sharing sites such as Flickr, the entire Blogosphere, Wikipedia and Twitter to name but a few. These are all intermediaries through which consumers reach business websites.

Shift focus and stay competitive

All these intermediaries have started having high search engine rankings. This has necessitated a shift in SEO practices. It is no longer viable to focus all optimisation efforts on your official website. The new SEO criteria means a business must optimise their web presence instead. The realities are clearly seen where an entrepreneur’s media websites outranks his official website.

It simply means a shift in optimisation practices. The manner of getting results is not the important thing as long as the techniques are ethical both with normal website SEO and social media marketing. Website optimisation or web presence optimisation or a combination of the two, as long as the internet marketer gets positive results. It is all a matter of adaptation.

Search engine optimisation is not only about researched keywords, excellent and informative articles, great site navigation and building good links. Yes, optimisation is all that, but also much more. What worth would your stunningly designed website with its co-ordinated colour scheme and eye-catching graphics have if you do not maintain your website in tiptop shape?

Clean out the cobwebs

Good optimisation efforts include continuous maintenance and a good shake-up ‘spring cleaning’ should be done regularly, including freshening up your content. To ensure that you continue to enjoy good SEO ranking all aspects of site maintenance must be addressed regularly. Continuous maintenance means updating regularly with fresh content such as blogs. Important as well is to change and refresh images and tweak or bring in new keywords on subpages to prevent staleness.

Sometimes we focus so hard on regular maintenance that we forget the ‘spring-cleaning’ aspects. Clean up product categories and hunt down and fix broken links. Get rid of outdated plug-ins and upload some time saving tools.

Clean out any outdated posts in your feedback section. If you have a blog, then update your blog roll. A well maintained website is welcoming to visitors; they will remember your website and will come back more often. Thus everything works together to keep your search rankings healthy and your business competitive.
