    The time it takes for your website to appear on page 1 of Google depends on a number of factors. It depends on the search phrases people are using to find your website and the number of other websites that are also available for those search phrases.

  • What happens if I want to add some features to the website while you’re building it?

    We love to be flexible and it’s more common than you think to change your mind or want new or different features as we’re underway. Planning is the biggest part of our process, so we’ll iron out any new and additional features before we start design & development. This will ensure everything we need on the new site will be planned for before the site is built and new features or content is accommodated perfectly.

  • I have a website and I need to transfer it to another host. What does that mean?

    When you transfer a website to a new host, you are essentially moving all of the files and data associated with your site from one server to another. In most cases, this is done in order to change hosts or to consolidate multiple sites onto a single server. In order to transfer your site, you will need to export the data from your current host and then import it into your new host. The exact steps involved will vary depending on your host and the type of data involved, so it’s always best to consult with your new host beforehand. Once the transfer is complete, your site should be up and running on its new home with no down time.

  • What is the process of designing a website?

    Designing a website can be a daunting task, but with a little planning and some basic knowledge, it can be surprisingly easy. The first step is to determine the purpose of the website. Is it going to be an online store, a blog, or simply a way to showcase your work? Once you know what you want to achieve, you can start planning the layout and structure of the site. This includes deciding on the navigation, choosing which content to include, and creating any necessary graphics or videos. Once you have the site planned out, you can start building it using HTML, CSS, and other web programming languages. Finally, don’t forget to test the site thoroughly before launch to ensure that everything is working as it should. With a little effort, you can create a professional-looking website that will achieve your goals.

  • Will my site be accessible for those with visual or hearing disabilities?

  • Is there a danger of my website becoming hacked?

    Any website that is connected to the internet is vulnerable to hacking. While there are many steps that website owners can take to reduce the risk of being hacked, it is important to understand that there is no guarantee that a website will not be hacked. Hackers are constantly finding new ways to gain access to websites, and even the most secure websites can be vulnerable if the right security measures are not in place. As a result, it is important to be aware of the risks associated with having a website and take steps to protect your website from being hacked.

  • What are the best pages to add to a website?

    When it comes to website design, there are a few key pages that should always be included. The first is a Homepage, which should give visitors an overview of what the site is about. It should also include a Call to Action, such as “Click Here to learn more.” The second important page is a Contact page, which should provide a way for visitors to get in touch with the site owner. This can be done via email, phone, or social media. Finally, every website should have an About page, which tells visitors who you are and what you do. Including these three essential pages will help to ensure that your website is user-friendly and informative.

  • What is SEO, and why is it important?

    SEO is short for “search engine optimization.” It is the process of increasing the visibility of a website or web page in search engine results pages (SERPs). The higher a website or web page ranks in the SERPs, the more likely it is to be clicked on by users. SEO is important because it can help to improve website traffic and ROI. Additionally, SEO can help to build brand awareness and credibility, and it can also lead to increased sales and revenue. There are many factors that contribute to a successful SEO strategy, including keyword research, link building, content marketing, and social media engagement. A well-executed SEO plan can help any business to achieve its online marketing goals.

  • My site is loading slow; how can my web developer fix it?

    If your site is loading slowly, there are a few potential causes that your web developer can investigate. One possibility is that your server is not configured correctly and is not able to handle the traffic you are receiving. Another possibility is that you have too many large files on your site, such as images or videos, which are taking too long to load. Or, it could be that your database is not optimised and is taking too long to retrieve information. In any case, there are a number of potential solutions that your web developer can implement to speed up your site. For example, they can enable caching so that static files are loaded more quickly, or they can minify your code to reduce the amount of time it takes for browsers to process it. By working with your web developer, you can ensure that your site loads quickly and efficiently.

  • I don’t have time to write blog posts or articles. How do I keep my site up to date?

    Maintaining a website can be a lot of work, especially if you don’t have a lot of time to spare. One of the most time-consuming tasks is creating new content, such as blog posts or articles. If you’re struggling to keep your site up to date, there are a few things you can do to make the process easier. First, try to batch your content creation. Dedicate a few hours each week to writing new posts, and you’ll quickly build up a stockpile of content. Second, make use of guest writers and guest posts. Reach out to other writers in your field and see if they’re interested in contributing an article to your site. Finally, don’t be afraid to re-use and repurpose old content. If you have an older article that’s still relevant, consider updating it with new information or turning it into a new format, such as a video or podcast. By following these tips, you can keep your website fresh and up-to-date without spending all of your free time writing new content.

  • What social media should I have linked to my website?

    When it comes to social media, there are a lot of options out there. However, not all of them are equally well suited for use in conjunction with a website. For example, Facebook and Twitter are both popular social media platforms that can be easily linked to a website. However, Facebook is better suited for sharing photos and short updates, while Twitter is better for sharing links and articles. As such, it really depends on the content of your website as to which social media platform is the best fit. If you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to consult with a professional web designer or developer who can help you make the best decision for your specific website.

  • How can I add reviews to my site?

    Adding reviews to your website can be a great way to boost customer confidence and show that you’re an expert in your field. Reviews can also help to improve your search engine ranking and give potential customers an overview of your products or services. To add reviews to your site, you’ll first need to set up a system for collecting customer feedback. You can use an online form, a survey, or even a simple ratings system. Once you have a way to collect customer feedback, you can start publishing reviews on your site. Be sure to showcase positive reviews prominently, and consider using testimonials or customer quotes on your homepage or product pages. With a few simple steps, you can add reviews to your site and start enjoying the benefits of increased traffic and higher conversion rates.
