WEB DESIGN SHEFFIELD

Web designer in Sheffield focusing on digital branding and helping businesses improve their online presence through visible search rankings.

WEBSITE DESIGN (SHEFFIELD)

WHAT MAKES MY WEBSITES DIFFERENT:
98% of this website’s visits come from Google searches. My business has existed purely from this cost-free form of marketing since 2014. Because I’ve fully optimised my website, I don’t need to pay for any advertising, offline or online.

It’s a misconception that a newly built website will suddenly be exposed to the world. The harsh reality is that a new website won’t have many visits (if any at all) for the first several months unless it has been specifically optimised or targets achievable and popular search terms.

Websites that rank well are designed and built this way from the beginning. All aspects of design have a part to play in optimising a site to perform in search rankings.

WHAT I OFFER:
Although I focus on the impact of web design on search ranking position, I also work with companies that don’t solely rely on search traffic for business. Website and brand design can be critical to the way a modern business presents itself. The impact of digital design can strongly influence the sense of professionalism and quality of service offered. A good brand and web designer can transform a business.

A strong brand and attractive website are the starting points but the layout and structure of a site is equally important. I start at the beginning and analyse the most effective way for visitors to land on your website. I will then map out user journeys to plan the most appropriate way for them to navigate your site and present key information in the most impactful way.

RELIABILITY:
I set up Fly Digital after having spent most of my career working for two large Sheffield design agencies. I pride myself in offering the same level of service and reliability but I can afford to be more competitive with my quotes. Being dependable and reliable is key to my business and the clients I’m able to work with. The sites I design are built to the same high standards using the latest technologies and coding languages.

I work closely with a team of full-time independent specialists, most are based in Sheffield, covering all aspects of website development and hosting. Because of this breadth of knowledge, I can offer a reliable level of service that competes with larger design agencies.

OPTIMISATION (SEO)

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the focus of all my web projects. Most of my clients rely on organic rankings (the position their site reaches in a list of results from a search engine such as Google) for business success. This cost-free form of advertising should be at the forefront of all design and development decisions made throughout the process for long-term business success. There are of course other ways of promoting your website but I believe a strong search engine result strategy should form the foundation to any modern online business.

QUESTIONS

Some common questions I get asked.

Why do I need a website for my business?

A website acts as your business card, your sales team and your shop window. Websites are often the only method of generating income for a business and they can be used to communicate your brand’s story and the ethos behind your company. With the right help, a website can transform your business.

Will a website bring in new business?

Unfortunately, simply building and launching a new website won’t instantly expose your business to the world. A website needs SEO input, otherwise it will be almost invisible during its first few months online. In today’s competitive market you’ll require some expert knowledge to increase your visibility.

Is there any guarantee my search results will improve?

My initial SEO advice is provided as a consultation service. Anyone who blindly promises to get you to the ‘top of Google’ doesn’t understand how SEO works. It’s all about doing more and better than your competition. I won’t make promises until I’ve done the research and worked out what needs to be done. I will then present this information to you along with how much traffic I think it will drive to your website and I’ll help convert this to potential business growth or revenue.

How much does a website cost?

Simple websites start from £2000 but exceptions can be made depending on your specific requirements.

Websites can be built cheaply. Why do these sites cost more?

Getting the look and feel of your website right shouldn’t be a quick process. It takes time to convey your story and present your brand in a meaningful way.

Also, search engines know the difference between a bloated template site and something that’s built specifically for its purpose. The quality of the build and the time it takes to load will have a direct impact on your ranking position and your visibility online.

Do you offer PPC and social media advertising?

I do, but I always recommend my clients  focus on organic search rankings before expoloring other avenues. Search engines provide us with free advertising. I advise maximising your SEO before any other form of paid advertising. Although it can take some work to position well, that visibility will remain relatively consistent.

Can I make changes to the sites myself?

Yes. One of the main reasons I use WordPress as a content editor is due to how easy it is to edit. You’ll have full control of editing content across the whole site.

I’ve never edited a website before will it be too technical for me?

More sites are built on WordPress than any other. This is largely down to how easy the sites is to manage. However when I hand the site over to you, I offer full one-to-one tuition and ongoing support is available for as long as you need it.

Will I be tied to Fly Digital in any way after the project?

You will own every aspect of the design and development of your site. You will also have full control to move it should you ever need to.
