Your website is one of the key ways that most of your potential customers will find your business. For this reason it is vital that your website creates a positive first impression. After all, you only get one opportunity to make a first impression, and if you fail then you may never have a chance to win customer. If you nail that first impression though, and you do so consistently with customer after customer then you can grow your customer base surprisingly quickly. A strong increase in your customer base can really help to kick start some serious business growth.

That sounds good, doesn’t it? Of course it is easy to say all that, but what factors do you need to consider when you are looking for a company that can actually make it happen?

Well, given that you are a business, perhaps the most important thing for you to consider is just how effective your eCommerce solution will be. Here at seoBusiness we have been web designers Blackburn for a very long time. For more than twenty years we have been helping our clients to use the potential of their online presence and grow their business. We are we well versed in all of the tricks of the trade– in fact we are reasonably sure that we actually invented some of them – and we are more than happy to share that expertise.

You should then give serious consideration to the features that your web designers can build into your site in order to both engage and reward customers to make them enjoy their interaction with your business and more importantly keep them coming back. Are they able todeliver a website that lets you offer loyalty points or some other kind of loyalty scheme? Will they build a site that has the ability to upsellautomatically telling customers “people who bought this were also interested…” Will it be possible for your customers to create and share wish lists? Will your customers be able to donate to selected charities? Not all of those things will be appropriate to your business perhaps, but they are only a few ideas for functions that can enrich the online experience of your customers and so help to build a relationship that will make them into loyal and regular customers who not only coming back but are also more likely to recommend your business to their friends.

Something else we suggest that our clients consider when we sit down with them to do Web Design in Blackburn is how to include effective video content. Video, especially when it is embedded on your home page, can be incredibly engaging because you are able to speak to your customers directly. Being able to watch you or your staff demonstrating your key products or explaining your services can increase engagement because your customers can come to feel that they know you. This further strengthens the valuable relationship between service provider and customer. In the end, all good businesses are built on relationships and current, well presented video content is a fantastic way to make those relationships blossom.

Of course web design in Blackburn is about more than relationship building. Another important consideration is how effective your chosen web designers will be at getting your website right at the top of search results pages. “Search Engine Optimisation”, more commonly referred to as “SEO” is a vital and never ending aspect of any successful website design. Indeed, good SEO is so important it is a good idea to choose a web designer who either is also an SEO Agency, or has a close relationship with a good SEO agency. This is why when you are looking for a company to take care of your web design. Blackburn is a good place to start because here at seoBusiness we have been also been an SEO agency, Blackburn based and proudly making websites shine like search engine attracting beacons for as long as we have been in business.

As the leading web designers in Blackburn we would also encourage you to consider making sure your website designer builds a site which you can easily to add fresh content to. This makes adding the most currant search engine friendly keywords to your site, which not only simplifies SEO but it can also further help you to further build positive relationships with customers. If there is interesting and regularly updated content on your website customers have a reason to keep coming back.

Blog pages, for example, are incredibly effective at driving repeat site visits. If your blog entries are entertaining or deliver useful, up to date information about your products (or even better, both) customers have a reason to come to your site regularly, and perhaps even share your content on social media platforms. Clearly this is a fantastically effective way to communicate with customers. But it also has the potential to turn your customers into ambassadors for your business, actively putting pages from your website in front of people that you have no direct connection with.The really is no other promotional tool that we can think of with the ability to do this. Certainly no paid for advertisement could ever affordably deliver you such reach in the medium to long term.

The bottom line is that when you are looking for web designers – in Blackburn or anywhere else (although the more we think about it the less we understand why you would be looking anywhere else) you need to have a clear idea about what you want from the website your chosen designers will create. You should certainly have very high expectations of whoever you choose as your web designers. Blackburn might well not be the first place that you would associate with that kind of tech expertise, but take a look at the results we can deliver you will have no doubt why we have attractedsuch a range of successful businesses from all around the United Kingdom to become our clients.

And of course, there is another consideration that nobody really likes to talk about but is, nevertheless very important. You really do need to consider price – or at least cost effectiveness. What are you getting for your money? If you hire a company based in London or the South East they are going to have to factor in the cost of their office space when they work out your quote. Her in Blackburn we have to do that too of course, but the difference in property prices means that our office space is considerably less expensive that the flashier London postcodes, and we can pass those savings that we make on our overheads on to you.

So consider. Who can deliver high quality, engaging websites that are fully optimised for online search and offer excellent return on investment but will not cost you the Earth?
