Website Security Tip:

Whether you're a small business or a large corporate, you have a responsibility to ensuring your website is secure and kept up to date. We're not just talking about the content here either, we're talking about the actual system you use to manage your website.

Most systems will issue updates, if you're using plugins then you've got double the work load.

Today, before you do any thing else, we'd like you to go in and give your system an update. Apply all the necessary security patches and ensure your system is running the most recent version.

If you're running WordPress and need some additional support, we would love to help.

🖥️ Mobile or Desktop, does it really matter?

The shortest answer is yes, today more than 92.3% of people around the world are using their mobile phone to surf the web, so if your website isn't mobile you're missing out on a lot of traffic.

📱Mobile is always best:- When it comes to ranking on Google, your website is indexed according to how mobile friendly it is. In other words does your website make sense on a smartphone and does it load quickly. A well designed mobile website covers all of these bases and more.

🎨 No need for two websites:- If you've searched online you may have found that some organisations recommend having a separate website. However, you don't necessarily need to have two websites, responsive website design is a great way to ensure your website scales to different screen sizes.

🖥️ Desktop is still popular:- Despite the statistics, people are still accessing websites via desktop as well. Your website should look amazing on desktop , be quick and easy to navigate.

📈 Bottom line:- Is revenue affected if my website isn't mobile? Yes, majorly, a website that isn't mobile friendly is missing out on a lot of traffic and therefore visitors, which could be your customers. Added to this a poor rank on Google and your website is basically hidden.

There are a lot of perks to having a mobile website and the debate over mobile vs desktop isn't a debate at all, both are essential and as business owners your website should look the part on both.

Marketing is like any good habit, difficult to get started with, difficult to maintain but essential for business growth.

Let's explain, when it comes to marketing, especially as a start-up or a small business, you may find yourself doing all the work yourself including the marketing and the actual work the client would like you to do.

You pick-up plenty of work throughout the year and you think this is great I can leave off the marketing. That's when the problems begin, you miss a day, stop attending networking meetings and begin to slack off the website.

Before you know it days have turned to weeks and your website traffic has disappeared, your rank on Google has dropped to 10 and your customers are having difficulty finding you.

Spend 1 hour, everyday marketing your business, especially when you're busy.

A fantastic web design agency in Torquay, led by Robert, a super nice guy that always looks after his customers. Highly recommended.

3 Key elements every successful website should have

Your website is often the first meaningful engagement a person will have with your brand. Here are three essential elements every high performing website should feature:

1. Clear Navigation
Website visitors should be easily able to navigate around the website. A simple, intuitive menu structure helps users explore your website and reduces bounce rates, which has a knock on effect on your position in the SERPs.

2. Mobile Friendly
If your website isn't mobile friendly you are missing out on a ton of traffic, fact. Over half of all website traffic that is online today is using a mobile phone. Ensure your website design is responsive and expands and contrasts to any screen size.

3. Fast Loading Times
Did you know that 53% of visitors will leave a website if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load. Ensuring your images are optimised for web use and improving server response times can greatly enhance your websites performance.

All of these elements help improve the user experience which also has a knock on effect on both your sales and how the user engages with your brand.

What other elements could we add for a successful website? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
