FAQ on Web Design and Development

When you search using a keyword or keyword phrase there are two basic types of search results. The paid placements or ads appear at the top and bottom of the search engine results. Below the top page ads are the organic search results. Paid placements are also called PPCs (Pay per Clicks).

Two thirds of users click on the organic search results because they are usually more relevant to what they are searching for. This is why optimized organic websites attract higher quality traffic with higher sales conversion rates. You can buy positioning with PPCs, but organic search results are based on skill. SEO techniques help the search engines understand more about your company, products and services. Refer here for more information on organic and paid traffic.

Properly optimized websites attract more organic traffic. Organic traffic has higher traffic to sales conversion rates than paid traffic. Optimized design and navigation also increases traffic to sales conversion rates. More traffic and higher sales conversions mean more money.

Optimized websites pre-sell potential customers on your products and services. A proper pre-sell eliminates questions, doubts and potential sales objections, lowering the barriers to sale. In turn, the sales cycle is shortened, as many questions and concerns have already been answered by the website.

The answer is probably yes. Just the fact you are looking at web design and development is a good indicator you already know the answer. What are your competitors doing on the web? The days of print advertising are in steady decline and in most cases the Internet is where the sales are. Many people search and short list products and services before they leave their house to shop. One of these short listed companies will get the sale. If you don't have a presence on the web potential customers don't know you exist or where to find you.

Organic search engine friendly websites are a long term strategy. There are many factors that influence the time it takes for a website to gain traction in the organic search engine results. As a general rule it takes an average of three to six months after a website is launched to gain organic positioning. However, we have customers who have seen a dramatic increase in organic traffic in as little as two weeks.

If you already have an existing website and are replacing it with a new website, another group of factors come into play. As a rule, when a new organic website replaces an old existing site it will gain traction far quicker than a brand new website with a brand new domain.
