If you need a website for your business, your charity, your club or your hobby, then you want a website that will be easily found by people who will be interested in what you have to offer, easy for people to navigate and easy for you to maintain. There are any number of “do it yourself” web building solutions out there, but in the end if you want your site to be professional you need to find a truly professional business to design your website.

At eBusiness UK we’ve been specialising in Website Design here in Blackburn for more than two decades, and we have some great hints and tips to help you make sure that your website is the best that it can be. These are our top tips for finding the best Website Design Company in Lancashire – or wherever you happen to be:

1: Look for a company that is focussed on results

You want your website to look great and be impressive. Of course you do – it is after all the way you present your business, charity or club to the world. But an impressive website is nothing more than many lines of useless code if it fails to achieve what you want it to achieve. This of course means that you need to have a very clear idea about what you want your site to actually deliver. Are you looking for sales? Donations? Interaction? Give the matter some serious thought.

Whatever it is that you want from your website, be sure that your website design company understands what your aims are, and make sure that they deliver. We have been concentrating on Website design here in Blackburn for a long time and are absolutely committed to being completely transparent about how people experience your website. Our experience also means that we might be able to suggest additional functionality for your site that you will find incredibly useful but that you had not even realised was possible.

2: Make sure they will build a site that works on all devices

Many of us make the mistake of thinking that people will find our websites using a traditional desktop or laptop computer – and many people will. But many more will be using other devices such as smartphones or tablets to do their searching, and these devices often display web pages in different aspect ratios and orientations – if your site is being viewed through a smartphone is the viewer holding their device in portrait or landscape orientation? You have no way of knowing, so you need to employ a business that can design a website that will adjust automatically. This adaptive capability will make a huge difference to the user’s experience. If your website is not optimised for all types of devices you stand a great chance of alienating a whole section of potential customers.

3: Make sure it is easy to manage and update your Website’s Content

You might well be employing a business to design your website, but it is still your website. You need to be sure that you can directly control what is shown in your online offering. For many people the site that represents you online is everything you are – you need to be sure that you are completely in control. If your business is not in control of the design of your website you are putting yourself at a disadvantage. Let the professionals take the strain, to be sure – but you need to be confident that you are able to make any change you want.

Here at eBusiness UK we take great pride in providing our customers with a user friendly “Content Management System” or “CMS”. These systems make it easy for you to update your website’s design and content without the need for any technical knowledge on your part. This saves your business both time and money while giving you the freedom to experiment with your messaging.

Our aim as a business that designs websites is to ensure that your site is always optimised for search engine results and maximises site traffic. We offer full support so that you never have to worry about such “back office” considerations. But we also build websites that are easy for you to adjust both text and image content easily so that your site always accurately represents you.

4: Concentrate on results!

Our web design team based in Blackburn, Lancashire is 100% focused on delivering results. If you are taking your business online you need to be completely sure that your website is easy to find using search engines, accurately reflects your brand and makes it easy for your customers to interact with you. You should have confidence that your website is doing its job and bringing people to your business, charity or organisation, who otherwise would never have found you. Here at eBusiness UK we offer fully transparent analytics to show how your website is performing – you should expect any business designing websites to do the same.

5: Ensure that you can monetise your site!

A website can be a powerful tool to bring new customers to your business, new service users and volunteers to your charity, and new eyes to your organisation. But it can – and should – also be a tool to open a stream of revenue. Whatever it is you have to sell – goods, services or promotional merchandise, with a solid e-commerce platform underlying your website you can make trading online easy and profitable!

Here in Blackburn our Website Design Team has extensive experience as a Magento E-Commerce Agency. Magento is a powerful and flexible platform that offers opportunities to customers that are limited only by your imagination. We have the experience to help you create a completely bespoke online presence with all the features you and your site users need.

So when you are looking for a business to design your website make sure they are an agency with experience in Magento for e-Commerce.

6: Choose Carefully!

There are many businesses who design websites. All of them will produce something that will look decent on your screen. But ask yourself whether they are offering real opportunities to grow your organisation online, and whether they have the expertise to give you the results that you deserve.

Will the business you choose to design your website provide full and easy to understand analytics tailored to the key performance indicators that are important to you? Our website design team in Blackburn will. Will the business you choose to design your website also be an agency with skills in the Magento e-Commerce platform? Our website design team in Blackburn certainly is. Will the business you choose to design your website deliver a product that you can easily access and update yourself when you need to? Our web design team in Blackburn will – and will also be available to take care of any aspect of your website that you need them to.
