Traversing the Digital Landscape
When searching for Web Design Staffordshire in your search engine, it can seem as though it is full of web design companies that will deliver you a website. They all offer the same tool of the website but how you use it makes all the difference. But what does the right Web Design Company for your project look like?
You must consider the usability of the website; not just for your clients but for yourself. It is important that you can both utilise and update the information on your website freely. A website should be your 24/7 sales representative to promote who you are and what you do. It is your digital storefront and with 90% of adults in the UK being recent we users, it is too big of an opportunity to miss. A website that is built on Wordpress has the ability to look great and also be accessable with only a small amount of training and practice!

Researching with your Web Design Company
This should always be your first step when building a website or blog post. Without research, how would you know where your potential clients are looking? It is always important to remember that your potential client does not yet know who you are. All they know is that they have a need for an outside agency or business to help solve their problem.
We always recommend to our clients spending at least 30 minutes researching. Just take one day sitting down with a cup of coffee (or tea) and imagine that you are your client. What would they be searching for? If they needed flowers for a wedding, a sensible answer would be that they would be searching for “Wedding Florist” on their search engine like Google. Once you have found a keyphrase that you believe your clients would be searching for, look at the bottom of your Google search. Here are a few related searches that your client may be looking at. By doing this it will give you a hint of what else they may be searching for.

Implementing your Web Design
Once you’ve decided where your website should be sitting on search engines, it’s time to make it come to life. We build all our websites on a Wordpress core. It is a great platform for blogging (we’ll revisit this) and allows you access to the website.
We’ll organise a meeting with you at our office just 10 miles from Stoke-on-Trent to talk about what you want back from your website. This will include what look and feel you are aiming for. Whether it is an online shop with a Victoriana styling or a way to advertise your services in a minimalistic way, our lead designer will have something that is just right for you. At this point, we encourage feedback on the initial design so that we can ensure that we nail the design just the way you want it.
Once you have signed off the sample page, as if by Wordpress magic, your site is ready to go! Well, a little more work goes into it than magic. We build templates ready to be used by you on pages and posts that you build after the page has gone live. We’ll make sure that everything technical in the background is ticking and keeping your website up and running. This includes testing that the website responds well to all platforms and difference browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari.
Just Keep Blogging!
Blog, blog and blog some more! It’s key to making sure that your website is performing at it’s best. Without blogging, there becomes little fresh content on your website and this could hinder where you are showing up in search results. Even though you get a bundle of training whenever you receive a website from us, we understand that finding the time to blog and ensure that it is optimised can be time consuming. At The Capture Factory, we offer a hosting package that allows you to take advantage of our in-house SEO knowledge. We will post the blogs on your behalf alongside optimising them to ensure they are hitting where you want to appear on search engines. All you need to send us is the content!

Monitoring your results within Staffordshire
Your first blog has gone live but it is not the time to stop. We explain our websites as a machine; if you keep feeding in content at one end, the website will keep ticking and delivering the products at the other. How do you know that your blog hitting the right spot for you? Well, you need to monitor it. Monitoring your keyphrase means that you can see where your blog is ranking on Google.
The most important thing to understand about the monitoring process is that whatever results you get from your analytics, always use the information to progress your website. If you are seeing a return on investment through a certain keyword, it is a great idea to keep pushing it higher on Google’s listings with relevant blogs.
