One page websites; Perfect for small businesses

One page websites are becoming more popular as more companies are creating their own websites. It is uncommon these days for a business not to have a website, as most marketing is now web-based.

Creating a one-page website is perfect for small businesses, such as hair salons, coffee shops and small boutiques. As you scroll down the main page, the viewer can see all the information they need. Saying that there are still menu buttons, but instead of taking you to a new page, it scrolls down to the relevant section.

A large-scale website can be difficult to manage and is somewhat unnecessary for smaller businesses, pages can appear empty, sometimes making the business add irrelevant content to fill out space. With a one-page design, you can keep content direct and relevant and add eye-catching visuals to accompany any written text. So, if you are considering creating a new website for your small business, you may want to consider the benefits of a one-page design.

If you’ve been reading about all things SEO recently then you probably know Google is set to release a separate mobile index.

 

This may eventually become their primary index. Some say that the desktop index will continue to be maintained separately, but will not be as up to date as the mobile index and will not receive as much of a focus.Obviously this hasn’t been confirmed but it’s certainly plausible considering Google’s position over the last few years. So for everyday businesses what does this mean?

 

Well it means if you only have a desktop website, one that not optimised for mobile devices, you could see your rankings diminish. Google wants people to have a good user experience when they search on mobiles, so this change shows that Google no longer wants to upset users by giving them unfriendly desktop websites in rankings. If you already have a mobile friendly website, then you could find yourself gaining higher positions in Google from mobile searches, but of course just having a mobile site isn’t going to get you to the top of the rankings straight away. You will also need to populate your site with fresh, engaging content. To rank well in Google you have to take the time to understand what they want in a website and for years they’ve made it perfectly clear that you need to have a website that is interesting, easy to navigate and packed with valuable and relevant information. If you create a mobile site and start focusing more on your visitors and their needs, you’ll definitely make improvements.

 

So don’t fear the change accept it and embrace it. If you do this you’ll be one step close to having a brilliant website that Google, and the people searching Google love!

Don’t rely on direct traffic forever

As a web marketing consualtant, I often hear from small business owners that they don’t need SEO because their direct traffic is through the roof. My response is simply “it won’t stay like that for long”. You have to do a serious amount of advertising online and offline to continuously increase direct visits to your website and whilst that’s possible you should never forget organic visits. The great thing about organic traffic from Google, Yahoo and Bing is when you start to rank you’re getting tons of visitors for free. You’ll obviosuly have to pay your SEO agency a fee but you’ll be getting a much better return on investment for you businesses. If your organic traffic is on the way down and direct is on the way up it’s probably best you focus some attention on SEO because if you had the best of both worlds your business will be flying!
