MOBILE FRIENDLY
Website design has changed a lot in the last year or so especially with the introduction of the smart phone and tablets. In some countries the amount of smart phones has surpassed the number of desktop computers so having a mobile-friendly website is a must.
Search engines such as Google now prefer to see mobile friendly websites and rank website higher if they are mobile-friendly, this is mainly because local searches are far more common on smart phones than on other devices so having a highly ranked mobile-friendly website is extremely important.
For example you are likely to search for “Website Design Oldham” on your smartphone than on a personal computer as you are looking for a localized result. (it would be more like “landscape gardener” and Google would search locally).
ECOMMERCE
When designing an online shop it is very important to make people feel confident when using it. To gain confidence you need:
- A simple easy to use navigation and product layout
- An SSL certificate to add a padlock and https: to your website address
- Fast Reliable experience – slow loading pages can put shoppers off very quickly
- Professional looking design
- Payment process from a reliable provider
As you will read below our hosting and design experience will fulfil the entire list above allowing you to concentrate on supplying all of the orders!
SEO
SEO (Search engine optimization) is the process of making your website highly ranked by search engines like Google. Organic traffic from search engines is when people find your website without using an advert or paid click which you can see at the top and side of Google’s search results.
We at Website Design Oldham use various techniques on your website to try and get on the first page of Google for whichever expression you like. We do this by trying to show Google (and other search engines) that your website is very relevant to the search term that the user entered.
There is no sure fire way to get to the top of the ranking and there is no guarantee it will stay at the top if it does get there. Google is always evolving and so are the areas it looks at to rank websites.
SEO is a full time job in itself and therefore we can only build the website the most optimized we can to help search engines rank you the highest they can.
For example we have lots of tags and references to “Website Design Oldham” as we think that is the term people are likely to search for in our local area. This will be seen by the search engines and ranked alongside other websites with the same content theme.
Other things you could consider if SEO is important to you is making a blog and keeping it updated, having a big social media presence, and using pay per click advertising just to name a few.
HOSTING
Website Design Oldham use a lightning fast, 100% SSD hosting provider with next to no down time with cloud, load balanced auto-scaling servers.
Cloud hosting means that there is no single point of failure, your website is not hosted on one server it is on the whole platform meaning it will always be up.
Traffic will also be re-routed through different servers to ensure no one server is overloaded meaning that If a website gets a surge in traffic the hosting platform automatically scales up or down ensuring your website is not affected by any other website on the platform.
BACKUPS
Another security addition on our hosting platform is our timeline backup system. We take backups of all of the websites every day to ensure that if anything does happen we can restore it back to a working condition very quickly.
SECURITY
SSL certificates – Everyone knows to look in the address bar in the browser for the padlock symbol and you can see https:// before your website. These symbols illustrate that the website is encrypted and it is safe to enter your private details. All ecommerce website need this to take payment details as well as general login credentials.
Website design Oldham can offer different levels of SSL certificates depending on the size and nature of the website.
Websites without SSL’s are now being marked by Google and are possibly ranked lower than their competitors.
