search engine optimisation

Why do you need it? Who or how do we do it? Are there costs involved? What can Webtrendz do to help?

SEO enginesSEO is the 'life blood' of your website, its the most important aspect of your website. When a site is optimised for search engines, it is said that this website is now 'visible to search engines'. That is to say, when a user types in a 'search keyword' that matches the keywords for your website, then google is able to list your site in the search results for that user. The position of your link in the search results is determined by the content on your website as well as how often certain keywords are repeated on any given page.

All pages have keywords and a description that are related to that page, therefore if the page keyword is something like "Made-to-measure Mens Suits", then this tells search engines that this page content is related to "Made-to-measure Mens Suits", therefore if a user is searching for "Made-to-measure curtains" then this webpage is not relevant to the users search and therefore, would not appear very hight on search results.

website accessibility & usability

web accessibility usabilityWeb accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits others, including older people with changing abilities due to aging.

Web accessibility encompasses all disabilities that affect access to the Web, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities. The document "How People with Disabilities Use the Web" describes how different disabilities affect Web use and includes scenarios of people with disabilities using the Web.

Millions of people have disabilities that affect their use of the Web. Currently most Web sites and Web software have accessibility barriers that make it difficult or impossible for many people with disabilities to use the Web. As more accessible Web sites and software become available, people with disabilities are able to use and contribute to the Web more effectively.

website hostingYour website needs to be hosted on a web server in order to make it available on the internet. Hosting involves housing, serving and maintaining files so that visitors are able to view the content of the website.

You can opt for an in-house hosting solution or go to an external internet service provider. Key factors to consider include cost and the level of technical expertise and resources in your business.

This guide will take you through the main considerations in hosting a website and look at the options available to you in terms of going for an in-house or external solution. It also looks at how to choose and register a domain name to use for your website address.

domain registration

domain name registrationYou’ll find a warehouse’s worth of content online offering advice and guidance about choosing a domain name, but to be frank it’s not that hard. The difficulty lies in finding one that is actually available!

A good domain name should be 3 things:

  • Easy to remember
  • Easy to type
  • Relevant to your service or brand

Ideally it should also still have the .com, co.uk & .net available to prevent you losing traffic and anyone cyber-squatting on one of the big three domain extensions in the UK.

You will find that a lot of descriptive domain names already have the .com taken and possibly the co.uk as well. An alternative to both options described above is to create a name that could not possibly have been taken and build your brand around that.

Rahim is a very talented front end developer who not only transforms formal designs into slick web pages, but can take a nebulous idea and make it a reality. He adds an immense amount of value during both design and build with his experience in usability.

Is SEO just a fad?

SEO

Not at all!

if in doubt, just ask any of our clients!

At Webtrendz we always explain to clients the importance of SEO to your online business. We can explain it as follows, if you have a High Street Store with no Window Display then no-one will really know what you have on offer for sale, thus customers will not walk into your store. In the same way, if you do not do some form of SEO, then web surfers will not find your website, nor buy anything on the site as they can not find your website!
