Website Design Cheltenham- Ecommerce expert for Chamber of Commerce

by

The Website Design Cheltenham was appointed the Ecommerce expert for the Cheltenham Chamber of Commerce.

Website Design Cheltenham- ECommerce expert for Chamber of CommerceAt the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Cheltenham Chamber of Commerce which was held at the Robins football ground last week we were appointed as their Ecommerce experts for the forthcoming year.

We were very pleased to be nominated by Jon Leamon the Chamber’s past Chairman and seconded by Michael Ratcliffe- also a past chair of the Chamber.

The appointment builds on our recent work for them when we optimised their current website, updated their online content, improved their event booking system and updated their membership database system.

Our key goal for the current year is to increase the number of members and increase the Chamber’s income.  Which is precisely what ecommerce is all about.

We are frequently asked what do we do- and our simple reply is always “we help people to make money from their websites”.

There are plenty of website designers who will throw a website up for you- and/or charge a fortune for the privilege. But what’s the point if you don’t make money from it?

Our first question when we first meet is to ask you what you are trying to achieve? It’s only after we hear your plans for the future that we start to work out how to get you there. At an affordable price.

Does this approach sound like a professional, positive approach to you?

If so, if you want help with your website and making it a profitable, top ranking website for new and existing customers- please contact us now to see how we can help you make money.

Cheltenham Website Design lecture at the UoG

by

Part 3 of the Cheltenham Website Design’s Search Engine Optimisation lecture at the UoG.

seo lecture pt3 icebergThe lecture by Simon Dye of the Website Design Cheltenham spoke at the University of Gloucestershire (Uog) about search engine optimisation and how Google ranks websites.

Unless you have a high profile brand name the bad news is that people will only be typing their keyword needs into a search engine to find your website.

The good news is that if you research those keywords and focus on them with optimised content then people may well find your website.

This important session at the University details the key elements of Google’s ranking algorithm. If there is one part of the lecture you watch THIS IS IT!

It details the importance of meta titles, meta descriptions and links in how Google ranks you.

Don’t know what meta titles are? Then think of an iceberg with the bit above the water line as the part you see in your browser. Then think of all of the content below the waterline- that’s the importance of a website’s source code- and the important stuff that Google and browsers look at.

Getting this part is the most important thing that you can do. And the most cost effective marketing method.

The video can be watched here: Search engine optimisation- online marketing YouTube video.

 It lasts for 5 minutes and 30 seconds and may be the most important thing that you watch to promote your website.

Website Design Cheltenham lecture at the Gloucestershire University

by

Continuing the Website Design in Cheltenham’s series of videos at the University of Gloucestershire, here is part 2 about search engine optimisation.

Website Design Cheltenham lecture at the Gloucestershire UniversityThe lecture continued by looking at Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)- the most important- and cost effective way of promoting websites.

Based on his unique research which was undertaken in conjunction with and published by the Chartered Institute of Marketing- the world’s largest body of professional marketers, Simon Dye looked at the most important element of the online marketing mix.

Contrary to some people’s misguided thoughts- SEO is a science. It is a repeatable process that can be used for any subect- beit promoting blue widget maufacturers to selling quails or coffee.

It is “white hat”- if done ethically and following Google’s algorythms and strictures.

It may not be a “quick win” as some sites require considerable repairs to make them meet these requirements. But with patience and diligence success can be achieved.
