What to have ready before starting a website project
A bit of preparation makes a website project quicker, cheaper and less stressful. Here's what's worth getting together before you start.
Professional websites for small businesses and service providers, built to explain what you do and win you more enquiries.
For most small businesses, a website has one main job: turning visitors into enquiries. It needs to explain what you do, show why people should trust you and make getting in touch easy.
I design and build business websites that do exactly that, with clear messaging, fast pages and a CMS that lets you keep things up to date yourself.
A dedicated page layout for each of your services, so customers can quickly see what you offer.
Calls to action, contact forms and click-to-call buttons placed where they'll get used.
Reviews, case studies, accreditations and team profiles that show you're the real deal.
Your location and service areas set up properly, so local customers can find you.
A simple CMS for adding news, projects and offers without calling a developer.
See where your enquiries come from with analytics and form tracking.
Spin up new landing pages for campaigns and promotions without starting from scratch.
Clean structure, fast pages and proper meta data give your content the best chance to rank.
Hook your forms up to your CRM, email marketing or booking system.
A few things people usually ask about business websites.
Usually a home page, a page for each service, an about page, a contact page and somewhere to show your work or reviews. I'll plan it around your business.
It helps to have a rough idea, but it doesn't all need to be final. I'll design the page layouts around the content you're planning, so the finished text drops straight in.
Every site I build has solid SEO foundations. Rankings also depend on your content and competition, so I'll give you practical advice on what to do after launch.
