All businesses are different, yet since we now live in a digital world, all need a website. Whether it is to directly sell products, or just to be a digital flag post.
Whether you are the BBC studios in Salford Keys, or the Science And Industry Museum in the city centre, having a website is part of our society these days.
For this reason, getting the right website is important, whether it is just a basic website, or a large complex one with a payment gateway and thousands of pages.
A basic website could cost less than £1,000 but larger more complex websites will require a lot more hours invested into them, and therefore will carry a higher price tag.
Are you a new business or an established one? For a new business, something basic is wise. If you are an established business, something more comprehensive is best.
There is also marketing to consider, to get people to your website.
All websites need coding work done on them, and some websites (depending on what you need your website to do) are more complex than others.
Your website is your shop window (in the virtual world) and people will judge your products/services based on how your website looks.
No-one knows your business like you do, who will write your website content (the text on the pages)? Would you be writing each web page, or would you need the web designer to create it.
Many web designers in Manchester would outsource website content to a website copywriter. Writing website content is important, it needs to be cohesive, it needs to be well punctuated and in good English. Badly written websites stand out, for the wrong reasons.
Choosing a web agency that is right for you is important. All web designers in Manchester are different, and there are two factors that need to be considered in the selection process:
This is another reason to meet with them, as these are both things that can be determined at a meeting face to face.
Some agencies are brand new, with pretty much no experience in designing websites, others have been trading for decades and have lots of design and web development experience.
Once your website is created, the journey begins, you need to get visitors to it to enquire.
In the short term, PPC advertising is a good option, so your website appears on search engines for your chosen keywords.
PPC advertising is a quick way to get onto page 1 of the search engines for your keywords. It is pretty much instant but can be a very expensive option depending on how competitive your keywords are.
In the long term, SEO is needed, in order for your to organically appear on page 1 for your search terms.
Search engine optimisation is a complicated process, as the search engines do not offer an instruction manual on how to manipulate the search results.
SEO does take time, as is about developing website content on your own website and then ‘marketing’ that content so that you obtain links from other websites to it. Some web designers in Manchester do offer both SEO & PPC advertising, but many do not and you really want a specialist since marketing is very expensive (especially if it is not done right).
Social media is a big part of our world, especially when it comes to marketing.
Choosing the right social media platform for your business is important, since all social media platforms are different. Here are the main social media platforms that you may have heard of:
Have you considered using a social media influencer to aid your marketing?
Many people now have a full time career as a social media influencer.
Since COVID in 2020, many people took to TikTok as a way of killing time, and became ‘content creators’ either by doing trend dances, or makeup tutorials.
If you are a food business in Manchester, aligning with a ‘foodie influencer’ may be a good option? There are pretty much influencers that cover all industry sectors, so this could be a very cost effective marketing option, particularly if funds are tight.
All web design agencies in Manchester charge differently, generally smaller agencies will charge more affordable rates as their web design prices will be less, and they are trying to build up their portfolio.
With website design, you do not get what you pay for. The most expensive web designer in Manchester is not necessarily the best, or the most experienced. Large web design companies have more staff therefore higher overheads, staff costs, office costs etc.
We want to help you to get the best website designed possible, for the lowest price possible.
