Website Optimisation
Website Optimisation is a vital stage in the process of having a good website. Research should be done before design so that the content is structured correctly. It is pointless having a visually attractive website if it does not contain relevant pages for the keywords that are targeting. For this reason website optimisation starts early at the development stage, although some existing websites can be reconstructed to suit when optimising.
Website Optimisation is a very important stage to online success in finding the search terms required to promote your products or service to an audience, this will increase the traffic flow and visitors to your site when seo work is carried out.
When we meet our clients we will go over this and what is available to them in more detail, but this website optimisation process is essential to achieve maximum results.
An example of its importance would be for example a law firm, they specialise in a variety of areas ie: property, divorce, criminal law etc. So they are unlikely to be found if their website is ‘whoever’ solicitors.
Although they will be known to their existing clients this does not help the search engines if a new customer searches or types of “lawyer” or “solicitor” as you can see there are two search terms for this same topic and search engine will not presume they are the same. another example could be ‘Norwich lawyer’ or ‘Divorce lawyers in Norwich’ and the “whoever solicitor” will not come up in the search.
The whole point of a good website it to generate new enquiries and increase sales and enquiries for your client base thus providing good return on their investment.
Website optimisation is where your web developer will start earning his money, not only has the format and readability of your website need to be clear to search engines but also the content and keywords your company are going to to target, this should be done at the analysis stage.
Original content on websites is important for search engine optimisation and knowing where content comes from is also important, to optimise every area of your website this need content that the search engines can read, this is why flash websites have a significant disadvantage.

Many people confuse website Optimisation with Search engine optimisation - its true both rely on each other and the two work hand in hand but the results for SEO are vastly improved when your website has been optimised properly.
Much of website optimisation also consisting with thinking outside the box and understanding the website owners business or service or more importantly the customers, this again takes research so if developers offer price incentive website it’s sure to say this stage of development that will be neglected.
This article about website optimisation is a prime example, It has use within the website to show you the potential customer that we know what we are talking about and that this article has been written from scratch bringing new content for potential customers using search engines to find us, the process dependent of the speed you work does take time as every word has to be thought about to obtain keyword density, which is also helpful towards the final goal of high search engine positions. An article about a word or search term can be quite difficult especially when also making it interesting for the reader at the same time. Your web designer has to be aware of spamming and not getting the balance wrong and getting the listing (page) wrong as this results in the page never being listed.
There are other elements of website Optimisation which also have to be done such as ‘alt’ tags, page titles, meta descriptions and meta keywords these have to be done correctly along with the link structure within the site has to be right to ensure indexing of pages from search engines. So there’s plenty to think about when developing a website.
If a website is built correctly it will be one that has received the attention to detail that will bring that original reason for building it - and that is - Potential customers.
