Effective online marketing requires both.
Every business wants a website that gets attention and converts online traffic to potential customers. Professional web design and SEO work hand in hand to make that happen.
A bold, beautiful, well messaged website only gets you part of the way.
Likewise, a well planned and thoroughly optimized website won’t have the attraction power of a website created by design professionals.
To be successful, you need both.
Web design and SEO are separate specialities. Each requires specific knowledge and expertise. Ideally, your online marketing team has divisions with those specialties that work together so your website truly supports your business.
Website design
An effectively designed website communicates your brand messaging to the world, tells the story of your company, describes your services and products and can even sell directly online. There are specific design techniques that guide the user through your website and prompt action, up to and including the sale.
SEO
Search engine optimization (SEO) involves technical analysis of your website and its content with an eye toward what your site should contain in order to rank in all-important search results. There are many steps involved in this process, and a qualified team should handle it for you.
Better together
Here are the top reasons your business will benefit from a strategic partnership between web design and SEO professionals.
-
- Your SEO will work best if your web designer understands what’s required by the search engines and knows how to create effective pages and navigation that make it easy for both your site visitors AND the search engines.
-
- Great website design engages your visitors and makes your call to action (what you want your site visitor to DO) clear. Professional SEO should guide the creation of content while your designer decides how that content will be presented on the website for best results.
-
- Working with an established team that offers both types of expertise benefits your bottom line because this established relationship means increased cost-efficiency and better results than hiring separate design and SEO teams that have never worked together.
