I hear these types of remarks all too often:
“I had a great website designed for the business but nobody goes and uses it and I don’t think it’s bought any real benefits to the business and it cost loads of money it all the web designer's fault.”
Comments like these are enough to break a Web designer’s heart. Ah, the waste of it all!
The sad truth is that the problem these website owners are facing is simple and all-too-prevalent - a lack of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). It’s something professional Web Designers build into a site, and it’s becoming a big part of what differentiates the very professional designer from the hobby designer. It’s really one of the chief reasons to hire us to build and design a website.
Other factors influence SEO, and I’ll talk about them another time. But here’s what’s on my mind today: clean, professional code. Code that's beautiful, code that sings. Code that is poetry hidden behind the scenes.
In brief: The structure of your website’s code is a big part of getting your site to rank well in the big three: Google, Yahoo, MSN.
So, should you hire a professional to build your site? Short answer: yes.
