Successful Website Redesign Tips

1 Reply

Taking on a website redesign is more than creating a more aesthetically pleasing and creative site for an affordable price. You really need to find a web design company qualified and familiar about your business in order for them to suggest solutions that can improve your company’s image, exposure, and really ensure a strong ROI.

Not only do you need to consider web basics like SEO, local search optimization, and online mediaplacement, it is recommended that you gather the following information to help you save time and money in your redesign.

Research and list the following for your website:

• Goals and Objectives for your business. You need to make sure your online goals are consistent with your offline business model. You also need to make sure that all of your goals and objectives are fulfilled on your website.

• Define your Target Market. Your market might have changed with a new online presence campaign.

• List your Competitive Advantages. Show your website’s viewers yours strengths and what sets you apart from other companies in the same industry.

• Keep your brand consistent both online and offline. If your brand has changed, make sure to let your customers know.

• Offer an area for feedback on your redesign. Focus on the feedback you are receiving on your current website before the redesign to know what needs reworking. Reference your current website statistics or analytics tools to shed some light on this.

• Examine your top competitors. Your competitors are your biggest threat but best examples for a redesign. What are your competitors doing that works for them and are they not doing that could improve their site?

Your website is more than a face for your company online; it is a driving business tool! A proper online presence can ultimately improve your efficiency, sales, and can help improve your customer service which is vital. You may discover that a complete website redesign will not be necessary for your business and that perhaps just touch-ups to your existing site are appropriate. Whether you decide to redesign your current site or not, you must take your website and its content very seriously. Check our WebitMD’s web development services to help you get started!

Top 5 SEO Tips for Improving your Website

Leave a reply

You might think that the most attractive and eye-catching websites available online are the most popular to visitors. Although the aesthetic your site is important, search engines and unique visitors favor sites where the quality of layout and content of your pages is very high. By keeping your site simple, with informative and interesting content, you can increase your SEO significantly and can keep visitors on your pages longer.

Here are the top 5 tips for making your website more search engine friendly while making it more accessible for its users:

1. Improve the layout of your webpage. You want to make sure your homepage is clear and in a simple layout. You should make all of your links and navigation tools easy to find showing visitors, at a first glance, where they can go and how to find out what they are looking for. Make sure to use bullets, tables, bars, white spaces, and margins appropriately to make your website seems less cluttered. Always put your most important information at the top of the webpage so your visitors can see it without scrolling and your paragraphs should be less than 100 words for easy scans of the content.

2. Keep your webpage short in length. Physically longer websites take more time to load and also require your visitors to scroll for your information. Allow your visitors to find what they are looking for on your site without scrolling if possible. If scrolling does become necessary, make sure you add easy navigation buttons to enable visitors to jump directly to all of your pages. Recommendations include: keeping your pages fewer than 32K and making sure your pages load within 8-10 seconds.

3. Keep navigation tools a priority. Navigation tools should be located in plain sight and on top of your webpage. Navigation links should be on every page and should always provide an easy link back to your homepage. If you do have a complex website, make sure to add a search function at the top of the site.

4. Keep your fonts simple! Having fonts on your site that are too complex, too large or too small for your visitors will just make it more difficult for them to read. Fonts that are great to use are default fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, and Verdana because they are legible and load on any computer, anywhere. Making sure font colors, styles, and backgrounds are clear for your visitors is essential. Use underlining and bold texts to highlight the more important texts on your site.

5. Improve your site’s content. Your content should be informative but with some uniqueness to keep visitors interested. Avoid grammatical and spelling mistakes and offer many hyperlinks to allow your visitors to pursue a topic in more detail. Search engines scan your content so keep it in plain text and offer a variety of topics concerning your website’s goals.

These tips can help take your existing website and make it more user-friendly. Visitors and search engines are more concerned about the content your site offers and how to navigate through the content rather than how attractive it is. So, it is important to utilize these tips and keep your site consistent throughout.

1 Reply

Here are a list of Best SEO Marketing Practices from this past year. How can you tell if your site is up to par with current SEO best practices?

You may not answer “Yes” to all these question but the more “Yes” answers the better.

Lets run through the list:

  • Are the keywords you’re targeting relevant to site content?
  • Are targeted keywords popular phrases used in search engine queries?
  • Do page titles start with your targeted keywords?
  • Does your site employ H1 header tags for prominent content titles?
  • Is your permanent body copy contextually sufficient and keyword-rich?
  • Do text links include targeted keywords that point users to pages within your site?
  • Do you use CSS image replacement in graphical navigation on the site?
  • Do graphics used in the site have descriptive, keyword-rich alternative attributes that are useful for visitors?
  • Does your Web site have a site map with text links?
  • Do the URLs of your dynamic, database-driven pages look simple and static?
  • Does your site have a flat directory structure?
  • Do your site’s home page and other key category pages have PageRanks?
  • Is your site listed in Open Directory?
  • Do you routinely list your site in other trusted, human-reviewed online directories?
  • Do all the pages in your Web site have keyword-rich meta descriptions?
  • Does your site have a custom error page?
  • Do the site’s filenames and directory names include targeted keywords?
  • Does your site avoid using pop-ups?
  • Is the exact same content visible to both users and search engine spiders?
  • Do you avoid free-for-all linking offers?

WebitMD advises clients to always be weary of those companies and freelancers that seem to “guarantee” placement or rankings and very often cease to deliver. I have heard dozens of horror stories and throw away marketing budgets because of this.

Stick with a trustworthy and local source for your Internet marketing needs….go with WebitMD!
