Why Do You Need A Website?

Every business in the UK needs to have a website, but each business needs one for different reasons.

If you are an e-commerce business in Loughborough, having a website is essential.  If you are a pub on Derby Road, a website is still necessary, even if it does not serve the same purpose.  Like it or not, we live in a digital world, and every business needs to have it’s place in cyberspace.

What Web Platform Will You Choose?

All websites are built on a web platform, and there are many to choose from.  Here are a few web platforms that are popular, not forgetting bespoke platforms that are tailored to your particular needs:

  • Wix
  • GoDaddy
  • Joomla
  • WordPress
  • Shopify

There are many different web platforms, each suited to different businesses.  Most web design agencies in Loughborough only design websites on one or two different platforms as very few coders code all types of websites.

What About Your Website Content

If you are looking at web designers in Loughborough, have you thought about who would produce your website content (the actual text on each page)?

Would you want the designer to produce this for you, or maybe using a website copywriter?

The danger with this is that the only one who knows your business (and competitors) is yourself.

Even if you gave the designer an outline of each page, this should ensure that the ‘book’ is written by you and not someone else.  This should help communicate your message clearer.

Consider Your Marketing

Once your website is created, the next job is getting visitors to it.

You want your website to stand out from all the others in your industry.

For this, internet advertising is a wise option, in order to get the right sort of potential customers to it.  Long term, you need to appear in the organic results of the search engines, this is call website optimisation.

Using advertising programs like Google Adwords is an option, but an expensive one.  Some web design companies in Loughborough take on digital marketing along with web design, but getting a few quotes may be wise.

Digital marketing (SEO, internet advertising) is quite complicated as the digital world has grown, so not necessarily something you can have a go at yourself.

The most important area of digital marketing is called search engine optimisation, to ensure your website appears in the organic website results.

This involves two things, optimising your website for the search engines (adding new content, updating pages etc.) and gaining links from other websites.  Gaining links is not easy, ideally links from authoritative websites such as news websites or websites like Wikipedia.

Remember To Be Social

Using social media is popular for new companies, and can be very effective; best of all it is free.

Social media platforms such as TikTok, LinkedIn all have advertising programs, but you can use them all for free.

Many web design companies in Loughborough will want to handle your ‘socials’, but you can easily do this yourself.  Doing daily posts only takes a few minutes, but the more time and creativity you put into social media, the more effective it can be.

Some brands have really taken off thanks to social media platforms like TikTok, so maybe talking to a social media influencer can be helpful?

What About Website Hosting

Many web designers in Loughborough will want to host your website, as they can charge you a monthly fee, however this may not be best.

There are lots of web hosting companies in the UK to choose from (Fasthosts, Jolt etc. are just a couple of the best known).

Web hosting is actually quite important, speed of the website, security are just a couple of things that spring to mind.

Choosing The Right Web Design Agency

It is best working with someone local, as a meeting can be arranged without too much difficulty  

Meetings are a great chance to thrash out ideas and approaches allowing brainstorming sessions to find the best possible design.  Are they one of the many google partner companies?

Industry experience is also something else that needs to be considered when selecting an agency, as industry experience does help in the design process.  The agency should know designs that work, what your customers look for and also how visitors can turn into fee paying clients.

These days, Google says all websites need to be mobile friendly.  In fact the percentage of searches from mobile devices vs desktops is expected to only go up.

Compare Multiple Website Design Quotes

All web design agencies in Loughborough will charge differently depending on their own rates; generally larger agencies charge more, as they have higher overheads, higher staff costs and higher profit margins (and vice versa).  

In today’s society, price comparison is important in finding the best company for the best price and website design prices can be compared as with any other product or service.

With web design, you do not get what you pay for.  The most expensive web designer in Loughborough does not make them the best.  However it is not about getting you the cheapest quote, but finding the ‘right’ web designer that you click with.

We aim to help you get the best possible website for the lowest possible price.
