Our essential guide to making a great website

Clear Navigation

Map out and mock up a design for the site and make sure it makes sense and is intuitive. Use easy-to-understand and logical names for the various pages of you’re website: contact, about, FAQ, etc.

Information about your business

What you do, contact information, directions or map, case studies, FAQs, etc

Security

If you’re selling online, you need to secure your site with an SSL certificate. The SSL will encrypt communications between you and your clients. Even If you are not selling online you still need to take steps to secure your website from hackers.

Social media links

Do you have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google +, YouTube or any other social media accounts for your business? Integrating these accounts into your website will help boost your SEO and improve your business’ performance on social media.

A responsive website

Customers are coming from all over the place and have high expectations, finding your website on their phone, tablet, or desktop computer. Make sure your website is responsive, i.e. visible from any device.  Read more in our blog article about responsive web design.

Video content

Videos are a great way to bring to life the interesting aspects of your business, perhaps with the use of testimonials or tutorials. Videos allow people to understand your company without ever having to read a single line of text and can also help your website rank more highly on Google.

A good hosting package

Not having good hosting can cost you in many ways. A slow site is frustrating, and could put potential customers off and even affect your rank in search engines, since many search engine algorithms detect webpage loading speed. We provide some great and cost effective hosting packages. Talk to us to find out more.
