Web Design Huddersfield

Why do I Need a Web Site?

Whether you are a big national company with a large workforce and varying business streams, or you are self-employed and locally based, everybody needs a web site. Let me tell you why! The internet and web sites are now the first port of call, it is where new customers will discover your service, and where existing customers can find out more about you.

Web sites are also now a low cost way of entering a market place. If you have always dreamed of running your own boutique or shop but can't afford the cost of renting, then why not set up a web site using e-commerce. It's not just more affordable but in our fast paced modern life consumers no longer head to the high street or the phone book, they start with Google and other search engines.

This is why search engine optimisation (or SEO) is so important. If somebody wants to get a fake bake tan and they live in Halifax they will type "fake bake halifax" into a search engine. Then they will look at the first few results and pick the salon that has the most professional web site - although it is still important to be price competitive. Try it now and see which salon you would pick, I bet I know the answer already.

What can Happy Hound do for me?

The Hound has a plan that is followed for every web site designed. As always it starts with a brief provided by you. The Hound then uses their experience to suggest the best way forward and will give you a rough idea of how much this may cost. With a basic idea in mind we then get the finer details; domain names, colour schemes, layouts, what pages are required and so on. But before work begins we need to carry out some research into your market. Who are your competitors? How can we better them? And how will people find you? This is the starting blocks of search engine optimisation. With all this information at the ready, the Hound will begin building your web site. We always design all our web sites to comply with standards so that they will work in all browsers and screen sizes. And while we are making sure the code is nice and neat we squeeze in the tricks of the trade to ensure good rankings in search engines.
