Website Content

Why use a web designer? 6 of 6

It’s not just a case of putting images and text together with a little animation. How the website is written both in the pages itself and in it’s ‘back end code’ (the stuff you can’t see) plays an important role as to how your website is found in the first place.

You need to think carefully about who your audience is and write your content based around that - the fundamental of any marketing project and a ‘marketing project’ is what your website is.

Google is very clever, and gone are the days when putting’ Harry Potter’ in your text, just because it’s a well used search phrase, gets your website to page one in the search engine rankings. Nowadays a website’s content is scrutinised by software known as spiders or robots who grab the information from your web page and through complex algorithms index it to make sure it ‘does what it says on the tin’. These same Spiders are responsible for giving your website the page one ranking you desire, and with a few simple rules you go some way to achieving that.
