Questions and Answers about Web Design
Tag Web Design offers highly competitive websites that work at a fraction of the cost. Here are some of the most common mistakes made when a business is looking to have a website built. Or picks the wrong web design company to build one.
Before your site is built:
1. Avoid websites that are partially or mostly built in Flash.
Flash is unrecognised by most search engines. This means it might look good but you are unlikely to receive many visitors.
2. Before you have a website built, always know what the sites main goal is going to be.
Agree with the web designer what you want from the site. This could be direct sales, bookings, passing on information or perhaps lead generation. This way the designer should build it accordingly.
Avoid sites that have mostly images and very little text.
Most search engines like content. If you have very little text, then you could suffer with poor rankings in the search engines.
3. Know your keywords; these are the words your potential clients use to search on the net.
You can then discuss these with your web designer who will implement the ones suitable within the structure of the site.
4. Always be sceptical of a web design company that claims guaranteed top ten positions.
Hopefully you will get some top ten positions with some relative keywords but that is down to your designer and who your site is competing against.
After the site is built:
1. Never expect success from day one.
There are many things needed to make a site successful, one of them is time. Like any other type of business your site now has to develop and be adjusted accordingly.
2. Never expect the site to run its self.
It will need alterations, probably on a monthly basis; this will help improve on its rankings and so get you more visitors.
3. Never let your designer buy links for your website
Good and relative links to your site will help build on your sites ranking. The only true way of doing this is manually. Some designers go to link farms and buy them. Google will punish any site caught buying links not only that, the links are very often poor ones which won't help anyway. It's better to have 10 good links back to your site than 100 bad ones. Link building should be part of your SEO program and done on a gradual basis.
On Going:
1. Why is my site not getting hits?
This could be for a number of reasons from site design to SEO why not ask for our FREE site report and find out.
2. My site is getting a large number of hits but not many sales.
Again this could be down to the design. It could be, that it is not easy to navigate around the site, or people are confused about what you offer?
3. My web designer said he can get 300 websites linking back to my site but it's going to cost me £250.00 what should I do?
Buyer beware, it sounds very much like he could be buying links from a link farm. Google does not like this method of creating links to your site and it will reflect on your on sites rankings.
