A recent survey by eCommera found that 42.6% of UK consumers buy something online at least once a week. This figure will only get higher as tablets, smartphones and internet enabled TV's spread in popularity.

Back to the old theme about the way your website looks and the way your potential customers inter-react when they are viewing it. High rankings on search engines will not necessarily gain you conversions into active customers.

We are pleased to announce we have just re-launched the Jolly Good Van Hire website. They currently have two branches one near Wrexham and one in Shrewsbury, with a third due to open in Ely near Cambridge in November.

The site has been developed in Word Press and very particular attention (as usual for us) was spent on optimising the site before going live. Verve, web design Shrewsbury, have also been retained on a monthly basis to manage the site for them and continue the search engine optimisation process on an on-going basis.

Badly designed sites that include a lack of clear and easy navigation, large load-intensive graphics and unnecessary flash, can cause search engine spiders to be blocked from looking at/crawling over your site and more important if your site users cannot easily find what they want quickly, they will go to one of your competitors sites.

There are a number of businesses who have had their fingers burnt with Search Engine Optimisation "gurus" making wild claims about what they can achieve. The good ones will never claim they know everything, it is an organic discipline changing all the time and the good ones will say they are learning everyday and adapting their strategies on behalf of clients accordingly.

At Verve we not only provide web design in Shrewsbury, but will help you market your site to create that all important ROI.
