Why do you need Web Design & Development?

ABOUT WEB DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

Great web design and coding ensure best search engine visibility. Your code must be SEO-friendly to enable potential customers to find you easily through whatever means they use to search for a suitable provider. When they visit your website, it may be their first interaction with your brand and so within a matter of seconds they’ll have made a judgement on your business based almost entirely on its digital presence. If your website looks just like many others, is outdated or difficult to navigate through, it’ll have a negative impact and you could miss out on important leads as a consequence.

 

Think of web design as the digital face of your business; your website must be distinct, look professional, contain high quality copy, be simple to use, whilst being responsive, keeping users engaged and inspiring brand loyalty. Responsively designed websites are essential, load quicker, keeping users hooked and on the page for longer which in turn improves your conversion rates. This helps to lower the bounce rate and improve your overall search engine ranking. Responsive content, when twinned with sharing options, facilitates organic sharing to users and communities. Providing an easy-to-use content management system allows your marketing team to update your website instantly and create new pages as deemed necessary without the dependency on a third party and respective costs.

Test it

This is the stage where our website developers test and finesse your website including forms, functions and third party integration while also overcoming any compatibility issues between different web browsers and devices with its numerous versions. Before its launch, the site is placed on a staging server with a secure link for viewing and testing. Testing is crucial, because it is where we can iron out any issues before the site goes out to your users.
