WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
Some of the features we can include in developing or redeveloping your website
Some of the features we can include in developing or redeveloping your website
MOBILE FRIENDLY
We ensure all websites we create are ‘responsive’ which means they adapt in size and layout to the visitor’s screen size, to make sure it looks great whether it is viewed on a mobile, tablet, desktop or laptop.
Well over 50% of all internet traffic now comes from smartphones and tablets so it’s important they can easily navigate around your site and view its content without having to zoom in and out.
Google also ranks your website based on whether it is optimised for mobiles.
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISED
As you probably know, to be at the top of search engine results, your website must be search engine friendly.
We ensure the content on your website includes keywords that your target market will use to search for your type of products/services.
We also embed meta titles, meta descriptions and image alt tags with keywords in the back end coding of the site. This also helps search engines crawlers identify whether your website is relevant to a search someone has performed and so will show it in the search results.
BACKEND CLIENT ADMIN
We use a system called WordPress when developing websites and an easy to use content management system so you can take over updating the website with new pages, text, images, videos and other elements.
Once your website is complete, we show you (or a member of your team) how to manage, maintain and update it. You have the Administrator login details to access and manage your website and you can add users and permissions too. So you have full control (if you want it!)
BLOG / NEWS SYSTEM
It’s vital to keep your website updated regularly with fresh content. This means Google and other search engines will rank your site higher. A way to do this is to have a blog or news system. We can add this for you so you can easily post new articles/news with text, images and videos.
IMAGE SLIDERS
We can create an animated image slider or carousel for your homepage, portfolio or a gallery of photographs. They can also include text, graphics and interactivity, to attract attention and encourage visitors to take action.
E-COMMERCE STORE
We can create a fully manageable and effective secure online store that can be integrated with your merchant account (to take card payments) as well as PayPal and Stripe.
There are all sorts of features we can include with your store like detailed sales reports, integration with MailChimp, Analytics, subscriptions, product reviews, shipping options and rates, customer logins and more.
We can also help you arrange for your site to have an SSL certificate which is vital for e-commerce websites as they store personal data.
SOCIAL MEDIA INTEGRATION
We can add icons that link to your social media pages and also allow people to ‘share’ your pages with their followers and friends.
There are now 3 billion people using social networks across the globe and they use it not just for socialising, but to engage with brands and businesses. So it’s important that your site encourages people to follow you and share you content on all the main social channels.
DOMAINS AND HOSTING
We can set up your domain and web hosting on your behalf, under your name / company name. We have a partnership with a great provider: TSO Host which means we can provide a promotional code for our clients to receive a discount on hosting. TSO Host is also very competitively priced and provide excellent and efficient support. Currently, out of 1684 of their customers that left a review on Trustpilot 88% of them gave 5 stars and a rating of Excellent which is far above most of the major UK domain and hosting providers.
We can also arrange for your site to have an SSL certificate which is vital for e-commerce websites as they store personal data.
SECURITY AND PRIVACY
We ensure your website includes a privacy and cookie policy with an ‘Accept Cookies’ pop up. We can assist in making sure your privacy and cookie policy is compliant. We also follow the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) rules with data collection on your website.
