What do web design companies do?

It sounds like an obvious answer – they design websites. Of course they do, but there is a lot more  hat goes on behind the scenes for a web design company to take your visions and ideas and build a successful website.

Web design companies are involved both creatively and technically in the building of your website. They understand that you want your website to look good – clean, modern and friendly to anyone who visits. This is normally your business’ first impression on most customers, so it needs to stand out and be user friendly. But what you don’t see is all the effort, designing and coding that goes on behind the scenes. It can take months to choose the right framework, design the website, ensure the site functions properly and make sure that the site is safe and secure. 

Once they have confirmed that the website is how you envisioned it, they don’t stop there! A lot of what web design companies do is after the website launch – something which a lot of people don’t realise. Maintaining the website probably the most important job of the web design company and it means that you can rest easy knowing that there is someone in the background looking after your website and making sure it is running smoothly. They provide ongoing support and will troubleshoot any issues that you have, keep testing the website for performance and security and look at ways to optimise. Just because your website is live and even better then you expected, does not mean that there is not room for improvements. Web design companies can help keep up with current trends, increase your websites visibility and even help get you to the top spot in Google rankings. 

There are lots of different web design companies out there, and eBusiness are one of the most knowledgeable and experienced in Lancashire. Don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss how to make your website even better. 

Ways your website can benefit during or after lockdown

In these uncertain times in business whilst everyone is on pause, it is hard to know which parts are important to focus on, keep running, or even improve. Now more than ever it is vital to have a good online presence. More people than ever are sat at home browsing the internet ordering essentials or getting ready for when the world return to normality. Even if you cannot currently trade or conduct face to face visits, you could be offering something that will be important once lock down is over so your website should not be one of the things you put to one side.

Here is where webdesign companies can step in to help take some of the pressure off during these stressful times. During the lockdown, people will be online almost every day and you need to make sure that your website stands out amongst your competitors. Your website is your company’s first impression, so it needs to be warm, welcoming and most importantly user friendly. You don’t want potential customers to leave immediately because they cannot find what they are looking for. You also need to make sure that it is searchable and visible to all these new customers that are browsing can find you – even if they won’t be using you until after lockdown has ended.
