At minimum, your content should be reviewed every 6 months. But if your website isn’t generating results, the issue is usually structural, not just cosmetic. Regular updates to content, service pages, and calls to action keep your site relevant and performing.
A combination of clear messaging, strong calls to action, fast loading speeds, and content that speaks directly to your ideal customer’s problems. Most websites fail because they talk about the business rather than the customer.
It depends on the foundation. If your site is built on a solid platform with good structure, targeted improvements can make a significant difference. If the technology is outdated or the site wasn’t built with strategy, a rebuild is usually more cost-effective than patching
A typical business website takes 6 to 10 weeks from start to launch. The biggest factor is how quickly content and feedback are provided. We handle the design and development, but the project moves fastest when both sides are engaged and responsive.
Think about your target audience, what action you want visitors to take, and gather examples of websites you like. Having your logo files, brand colours, and a rough idea of your page structure saves time. We guide you through everything else during the process.
Over half of all web traffic in the UK comes from mobile devices. If your website does not work well on a phone, you are losing potential customers before they even read a word. Every site we build is designed mobile-first, not as an afterthought.
A call to action tells visitors what to do next, whether that is “Get a Quote”, “Book a Call”, or “View Our Work”. Without clear calls to action, visitors browse and leave. Every page on your website should guide people towards making contact or taking the next step.
Google Analytics and Search Console give you data on traffic, visitor behaviour, and search performance. Key metrics to watch include enquiry volume, bounce rate, page load speed, and which pages attract the most visitors. If you are not tracking these, you are guessing.
