Google Algorithm Updates Set to Reward Mobile Friendly Websites

boxport-mobFrom April 21st, Google will be rolling out an update to it’s search engine algorithm which will penalise websites not optimised for use on mobile devices.

Websites built recently, using modern web design techniques like responsive web design will see no ill effects, but companies who have not invested in their website for a number of years may see their search engine rankings suffer.

Google has prepared an easy way to test your website’s performance, named ‘Google Mobile Friendly Test‘.

Google has been telling webmasters to prepare for mobile for years, now. The bottom line is you should focus on making your website user-friendly, helpful, and relevant – for desktops and mobiles – and you will have the opportunity to rank in Google organic search, for all types of device.

We’ve just launched a new website for Masson Glennie

masson-glennie-launch-dayWe’ve just put the finishing touches to Masson Glennie’s stunning new website.

Working closely with branding specialists Attain Creative, our web solution features great graphic design and clever backend technology, giving visitors the same great experience whether browsing on mobile, tablet or desktop.

One of the key requirements Masson Glennie had was that their growing number of properties for sale and rent should be easily accessible, as well as being easy to search and filter through results. Their property team can quickly and easily list new properties, amend existing listings, and have full control over all aspects of the website. Maintaining their own website, which used to be a complex and tedious task, is now as quick and easy as editing a Word document.

It’s been a real pleasure developing Masson Glennie’s stunning new web presence. But our relationship won’t end there – with continued support and ongoing work building new and exciting features, we’re sure their website will continue to grow.

Our Web Design Customers Most Frequently Asked Questions

frequently-asked-questionsTo kick off our new blog and new website design, we’ve listed some of our web design customers most frequently asked questions – if you want to talk about something more specific please get in touch…

How much will my web site cost?

Without first learning about your business and what you want your web site to achieve we can’t tell you how much it’s going to cost. All of our web sites are custom built to our clients requirements and as such their prices can vary depending on the features and functions included.

How long will my web site take to build?

In most cases the timescale of your project will be entirely in your own hands – if you have a deadline to work towards then we will always try to meet it. With good organisation and communication we could have your web site up and running in a matter of weeks!

Will my web site be “Search Engine” friendly?

All our websites are built from the ground up so that they work well with search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo – we take care to structure our sites correctly and build them with clean, semantic code. When coupled with good quality, relevant content we almost always see good search engine placements.

What happens once my web site “goes live”?

We can offer as much ongoing support as you need after your website is up and running. If you need any further updates or changes we can carry these out, or if you need help using your CMS (Content Management System) we’re always on hand to training and support.

I’m not based locally, can I still use your services?

Where web design is concerned distance really isn’t an issue. We have successfully created web sites for clients all over the UK, and can easily discuss your project and keep you up to date via telephone and email.

Do you provide domain name and hosting services?

Yes, we provide domain name and hosting services as an extension of our complete web site design service. We can register your company domain name on your behalf and host your web site on our fast UK-based server.
