Looking for a Business Website?

Are you thinking about a website for your business? EasierThan Website Design provide reasonably priced web development services with the emphasis on functionality and end results.

From Introductory Websites and Photo Gallery Websites which allow you to showcase your work, through to On-line Shopping Websites (also known as eCommerce Sites) and Content Management System Websites which feature a user friendly back-end admin area, we can help to make the internet work for you.

All of our Website Design solutions include Domain Name Registration, website hosting and Email Addresses as standard, which are charged on an annual basis.

And unlike some web developers, we provide a complete service, both developing your website and then promoting it. After all, unless anyone knows it is there, you're unlikely to get any new customers from it.

Our Search Engine Optimisation services will help to ensure it gets found on Google and other search engines for relevant phrases and keywords.

Plus, we'll also give you advice on other ways to promote your website on-line including Yell.com and Social Media Websites such as Facebook and Twitter.

So, thinking about a website for your business? Why not give EasierThan a call...

Fresh Website Design for EasierThan Site

Whilst working hard on your client's websites, it is perhaps too easy to forget your own and leave it to stagnate, omitting to update content as you tackle new and bigger projects.

So, with a little free time, we set to work creating a fresh new Website Design for the EasierThan Website Design main site, which will also be replicated on holding sites whilst they are under development or their domain name is up for sale.

The new site is also set to benefit from some extra efforts at Search Engine Optimisation in order to push it up in Google and other search engines.

And to help potential customers in their decision making, we've added lots of screenshots of our previous works, along with significant extra text describing the various types of website available and why you might want each of them.

We've remained true to form though in not making it too technical. After all, the reason for asking us to develop a website for you is that you don't want to have to learn how to do it yourself.

Right, I guess we'd better to get back to working on some customers' websites now!

Searching For Driveways

As any business that has had a website for any length of time will know, there is one thing above all else that is most important when it comes to Website Design.

It isn't what the website looks like, nor how fast it loads, how often it is updated or even how many visitors it receives. It is whether or not they get any enquiries from it.

True, all of the above may affect that outcome to some degree, but the one thing that will guarantee a website doesn't produce customers is if they don't know it is there in the first place.

If your website doesn't appear in the first two pages of Google results for relevant search terms, then unless you're doing a lot of self promoting by other methods, the chances of getting any new customers from it are zero.

The act of ensuring such all important search engine rankings is known as Search Engine Optimisation, the cost of which depends on the products or services a business is offering and the level of competition in their target area for those products and services. For example, a hotel in Blackpool will require much more effort than a farrier in Lancaster.

As part of the Web Development process, EasierThan Website Design will work hard with your available budget to ensure the best search results, giving you an honest evaluation of what is possible and what isn't.

For an example of our work, take a look at one of our recent customers, Northern Cobblestone of Poulton-le-Fylde, who offer pattern imprinted concrete driveways, patios, paths, steps and more throughout Blackpool, Preston, Lancaster and the wider Lancashire and North West area.

Thanks to a successful campaign, they're now receiving calls from all over Lancashire. A search for the terms 'Driveways Blackpool', 'Stamped Concrete Driveways Preston' or 'Pattern Imprinted Concrete Driveways Lancaster' or any combination of the three all now feature their website in the first or second page results.

So, if you have a website that isn't getting you the results you'd hoped for, get in touch via our main website and give us a try.

New Year's Resolutions

Another year for EasierThan Website Design and things are looking good. Business is picking up nicely and we've got work on the books for the foreseeable future *.

So, with 2011 behind us, a few resolution's for the new year::

• Revamp the EasierThan Website Design website. Its starting to look a bit worn now and could definitely be presented with a clearer layout for the customer (and Google!).
• Start work on promoting the BaddersWeb badminton website template software for take-up in the 2012/2013 season.
• Implement brief exercise breaks during the day to allow for stretching and other physical exertion. No, not that!
• Banish dreadful (yet distracting) daytime television from the office. Background music or radio only for 2012.

Happy New Year!!

* Note, if you're reading this and you want a website, more is always welcome!

Possibly the best ISP in the United Kingdom?

Okay, before we go any further, we ought to state that the contents of this blog are the opinions of EasierThan Website Design and are based on our own experiences.

Readers are advised therefore to refer to our Disclaimer for a full clarification of our position.

The Best?

As web developers with over 15 years experience of working with different ISPs, we've experienced everything from an acceptable level of service to over 20 emails required to resolve a single issue.

For the first time ever though we have encountered an ISP that we would actually be happy to recommend to a friend. Our current ISP, PipeTen, provide the fastest, friendliest and clearest level of support that we have ever encountered.

And for a website design business, support is the most important factor to consider.

Support?

Some are cheaper than others, but these days ISPs are all fairly standard in the services they provide and the level of uptime they offer. The real test comes when you want to do something a little bit more unusual than a straight HTML website or something goes wrong at their end.

We eluded to it above, but one of our previous ISPs (who shall remain nameless, except to say that they are a leading UK hosting supplier currently advertising on TV) regularly required in excess of 10 emails to resolve even the simplest of problems.

Their record was the unresolved issue that caused us to ditch them, which required over 20 emails from ourselves and went on for more than three weeks!

In contrast, from our experience, support calls with PipeTen are typically resolved satisfactorily in 1-2 emails and under 30 minutes.

Credit Where Due

We all know how easy it is to complain when we get bad service and how rare it is that we reward good service. We'd love to give you a list of the lemons we've dealt with over time, but as this is an official site, we're not sure it is the right place.

Instead, we'll say many thanks to Jamie, Gavin, Carl, Matthew, Grenville and the rest of the PipeTen team. Keep up the good work guys!
