There is supposedly a direct correlation between the number of key phrases a company ranks well for in search and the number of leads generated from that site.

So, while the sun is shining and it is tempting to sit back and chill out, could a little bit of well spent time really increase the numbers of conversions through your site by September?

 

Ok, so I have “picked” a little bit on the “dinosaur developers” who just developed the web site that the client has asked for. However, we have all done this and quietly bit or teeth whilst thinking this is all wrong – but the customer knows best, right?

Gut feeling vs. hard facts

Written by Dorte Knights-Branch

Anyone involved with web sites, be it the developer, the designer, the business owner or any other staff will have heard no end of “well, I think green is better for the links than red”, “I think dropdown boxes are better than tick boxes”, “I don’t think anyone will watch the video” …

These can be very frustrating meetings that often lead to no improvement to a web site what so ever.
