Why Do You Need A Website?

All businesses in Minehead are different, pubs, restaurants, barbers, museums, child day care.  In fact there are hundreds of businesses in Minehead and each will require a website for a different reason.

All companies these days need to have a website, but each will require one for a different reason.

We now live in a digital world, and there are lots of e-commerce companies that need a website in order to function.  On the other hand, some companies just need to have a basic website as a point of reference.

What do you need a website for?  This will effect what type of website you need and how much it will cost.

Choosing The Best Website Platform

There are a wide variety of website platforms on the market, and new ones pop up all the time.  Most web designers in Minehead only work on one or two web platforms, so choosing the right platform needs to be coupled with a web designer that works on it.

Here are some of the more common web platforms available:

  • WordPress
  • Fasthosts
  • Joomla
  • Wix

There are also many web building platforms that you can build your own website with.  This is great if you need something very basic, but the downside of web building platforms is the lack of features available (such as having a payment gateway on it).

Choosing Someone Local

It is always best choosing a website designer who is local rather than one based hundreds of miles away.  Even though web work can be done remotely, there is the need for an initial meeting.  

In order for them to produce a grade 1 website they need to know your business inside and out.  Also they need to know your market and your industry.  If they have already worked for companies similar to yours, then the chances are that they will produce a more efficient site that will produce results.  

There are lots of web design companies in Somerset to consider also, which is more local than someone in London or Edinburgh.

Shopping For Prices From Website Designers In Minehead

All website agencies in Minehead are different, all are independent and are in business to make a profit and grow their practices.  This being the case it is necessary for businesses to shop around and compare quotes.  

The cost will vary, as website design prices depend on the amount of design work that is needed, both initially and on an on-going basis.

Comparing website design prices in Minehead is not about finding the cheapest agency, but the ‘right’ web designer for your particular business.

Consider Your Marketing

Once your new site is set up, you need to ensure that you are found by your customers.  After all, what is the point in a website if no-one visits it.  Your websites needs website visitors, lots of visitors.  However to get more visitors to your website requires an expert in digital marketing.

Websites are not automatically found, they need internet marketing such as SEO (to appear organically on search engines like Google and Bing) and also paid advertising known as PPC.

Digital marketing is a mixture of the following areas of marketing:

  • SEO or search engine optimisation
  • PPC advertising or pay per click advertising
  • Social media marketing

SEO or website optimisation is something that few web designers in Minehead can assist with, since SEO is very much an unknown.  The reason is because the search engines do not give a roadmap of how to get your website onto page 1 for your search terms.

Website optimisation at a best guess is about producing high quality website content, and then trying to get other websites to link to that content.  High authority websites like Wikipedia or news websites like the BBC would be like marketing gold dust.

PPC advertising is used both by startup companies and global brands, as it is a quick way to get onto page 1 for your chosen keywords for a small fee.  Each time someone clicks on your advert, you pay a small fee to the search engine.  PPC advertising is also the fee process for social media websites.

Social media marketing is a huge area of marketing for both SME’s and global brands, since millions of us spend hours on social media platforms like Facebook each day.

The search engines love social media platforms since new content is being added to them every hour.  If people are ‘tweeting’ about your company name or website, and commenting on your videos, this should really benefit your overall SEO via your ‘social media footprint’.

A Quick Glance at Minehead

This small town is found on the Somerset coast of the Bristol Channel. The original name ‘mynedd ‘ means ‘mountain’ in Welsh.  

There is evidence of a Bronze Age settlement which was governed by Aelfgar, and the town is mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086.  

It is well known for the Butlins site that was opened there in 1962.  

Somerset has around 10,000 inhabitants, which is boosted around Easter with the “Spring Harvest” festival at Butlins, and during the summer with the tourists.  

Something the council are keen to see as it boosts the county’s revenue.
