1. Website Strategy and Planning
Every successful website starts with a clear strategy. Without a roadmap, it’s easy to lose focus on what really matters: your business goals.
Service Details:
- Audience Research & Competitor Analysis: We perform in-depth research on your target market, user personas, and competitors. This enables us to identify opportunities to differentiate your website and fine-tune your value propositions.
- Site Architecture Design: We design scalable website architecture that aligns with your business growth. Whether you’re launching a new product, entering new markets, or scaling up, your website needs to support those changes without losing performance.
- Conversion Funnel Strategy: We map out your visitor’s journey on your site, from first impression to conversion. Each stage of the funnel is carefully optimised to guide users seamlessly to action, whether that’s signing up for a newsletter, requesting a demo, or completing a purchase.
2. Technical SEO
Without the right technical foundation, even the best content won’t rank. Our technical SEO services ensure that your website is fully optimised for search engines and users alike.
Service Details:
- Site Structure & Architecture: We structure your website to be crawlable and indexable by search engines, ensuring that every page is accessible and optimised for ranking.
- Core Web Vitals Optimization: We focus on the three key metrics that impact user experience—LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), FID (First Input Delay), and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift). Our goal is to make your website load faster and feel more responsive, which in turn improves rankings and user engagement.
- Mobile-first Indexing: As Google prioritises mobile-first indexing, we ensure your site is mobile optimised, passing Google’s mobile usability tests with ease.
- On-Page SEO: We optimise your website’s content, including meta descriptions, title tags, header tags, and internal linking for better search engine visibility.
Site Speed & Performance Optimisation: Website speed is critical. We analyse and implement changes that make your site faster, including image compression, code minification, and server optimisations.
3. UX/UI Consulting
Creating an intuitive user experience (UX) is essential to keeping visitors on your site and encouraging them to act. Our UX/UI consulting ensures that your website is not only user-friendly but also conversion-focused.
Service Details:
- User Flow Mapping: We map out the ideal user journey from landing page to conversion, identifying key touchpoints where users may drop off. We optimise these touchpoints to ensure that the experience is frictionless.
- Wireframes & Prototypes: We design wireframes and prototypes to visually communicate the site structure and layout before development begins, ensuring alignment with your vision.
- UI Design & Visual Hierarchy: We design with visual hierarchy in mind, making it clear where users should focus their attention and which actions they should take.
- Accessibility Testing: Ensuring your website meets accessibility standards (WCAG 2.0) is key for inclusivity. We ensure your site is usable for everyone, including users with disabilities.
- A/B Testing & User Testing: We run A/B tests on various elements like CTA buttons, landing pages, and checkout processes to see which versions perform best.
4. Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO)
A beautiful website is useless if it doesn’t lead to results. We help businesses improve their conversion rates, ensuring that more visitors take action on your site.
Service Details:
- Funnel Analysis & Optimisation: We assess how users move through your website’s conversion funnel. Whether it’s lead generation, newsletter sign-ups, or e-commerce purchases, we look for ways to remove friction points that slow down the process.
- CTA Optimisation: We strategically place call-to-action (CTA) buttons and optimise them for maximum impact, whether it’s through A/B testing, colour contrast, or positioning.
- Checkout Process Optimisation: For e-commerce websites, we simplify the checkout process, reduce cart abandonment, and add additional features like guest checkout and multiple payment options.
- Form Optimisation: We optimise contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, and other forms to ensure they’re user-friendly and reduce abandonment rates.
5. E-commerce Website Optimisation
E-commerce sites require continuous improvement to stay competitive. Our e-commerce consulting service focuses on optimising sales processes, increasing average order values, and improving customer retention.
Service Details:
- Product Page Optimisation: We ensure your product pages are conversion-optimised, with high-quality images, detailed descriptions, and trust signals like customer reviews, ratings, and secure checkout badges.
- Shopping Cart Optimisation: We simplify your shopping cart design, providing options like coupon codes, upsell opportunities, and guest checkout to make the purchase process smoother.
- Mobile Optimisation: We make sure your e-commerce site performs flawlessly across all devices, especially mobile, since over 50% of e-commerce traffic comes from mobile users.
- Integrated Payments & Shipping Solutions: We ensure your payment systems are secure, reliable, and convenient for customers, and integrate shipping solutions that work seamlessly within your CRM.
6. Platform Consultation & Integration
Choosing the right platform is key to supporting your business’s growth. Whether you’re looking to use WordPress, Shopify, Magento, or a custom-built solution, we’ll help you select the best platform for your needs.
Service Details:
- Platform Assessment & Recommendation: We assess your business’s needs, objectives, and long-term goals to recommend the best platform (e.g., Shopify for e-commerce or WordPress for content-heavy sites).
- CRM & Marketing Integration: We integrate platforms like HubSpot, Salesforce, and Mailchimp to ensure your website works smoothly with your existing marketing and customer relationship management tools.
- Payment Gateway Integration: We help integrate secure and convenient payment gateways, such as Stripe, PayPal, or Klarna, to facilitate transactions on your website.
