SEO Basics for SailorsPart 1

If you are just about to set sail on the SEO high seas and have littleidea of how to navigate your new vessel, then the followingpointers from the SEO LEEDS team at Deepblue-digital mightprove useful for beginners of SEO navigation.

These are real beginner SEO points that you can either attemptyourself or use to query your website designers or new SEOshipmates with.

So lets take a look around your new craft.

Part 1 THE WEB DESIGNForget about SEO forget about setting sail. Before all that, you have to get thedesign and build of your website shipshape and Bristol fashion. Do not attemptto set sale on the SEO ocean until you have your ship looking and workingcorrectly. The first time you allow visitors on board and they see barnacles ondeck, locked cabins and no content in the galley they are going to smell a fishand you will never see them again. You do not have to spend thousands on arefit. It has to look the part, look professional and do its job. You may have heardabout WEB 2.0, you may have heard about Bounce Rate you may have heard aboutUser Interaction if not ask your web designer. Look at what other people are doingin the same industry. Look at entirely different industries and show your webdesigner what design you like, get him started in the right direction or he will end upcharting his own course and costing you money.

A professional web designer with years of experience and a good few previous webdesigns to show you, should steer you in the right direction and make sure yourvessel floats. Ask your friends and family if they would not mind taking a tour of thenew site, pick up any pointers or comments from them and make sure the designerunderstands and is happy to implement them. A good web designer shouldattempt to understand your industry and try not to force a speedboat on youwhen in fact you require a transport ship or a cruise liner. More next time!

Production Room was established around two years ago. Deepblue wereapproached to design and host an e-commerce website along with thebranding and printed marketing material. In a very short space of time thewebsite had come into its own and sales were averaging £10,000 perweek, on top of sales from their extensive retail showroom. Of course thiswas not entirely down to the work you can see, but more the extensivebackground work carried out by Deepblue. You’ll have no doubt readabout SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) here in this newsletter, along with‘keyword targetting’ and ‘pay per click’. In addition Deepblue applied acontent management system to enable more efficient stock control and adatabase catchment and generation system.

Over a period of time the website had almost outgrown itself with variousadditions and more product. Deepblue worked closely with theProduction Room team and redesigned the website (featured above) toencompass and incorporate all the latest innovations in websitetechnology. In addition a more pleasurable shopping and viewingexperience to it’s many existing, and of course, new customers wasparamount. The revamped website has been extremely well received andthe Deepblue team wish Production Room continued growth and success.

A successful siterelaunch... It’sbeen music toour ears too!...
