One of the most important parts of your business is the internet marketing that you do and this marketing needs to be done by a professional. By hiring professionals to provide SEO friendly website design , tips‏ you will be able to avoid common mistakes. The following are a few of the most common mistakes made by a small business owner in regards to their internet marketing.

Post once and forget it

Among the biggest mistakes that is made by a small business owner in regards to their internet marketing is their lack of motivation to post regularly on social media. The last thing that a small business owner wants to do is to post one time on social media and then forget about it. This will do them no good and will show the public that you are not interested in going that extra mile in order to keep them informed.

Lack of Informative Content

Another common mistake that is made by a small business owner is a lack of relevant and quality content on their website. You want to make sure that you are providing your customers with informative content that is relative to the industry that you are in. You want to show them that you are both educated and knowledgeable in your industry because this will only help to reinforce your brand. The more you can teach your audience, the better off you will be in the long run when it comes to keeping them interested.

No Keywords Used

Yet another mistake that is commonly made by a small business owner is a lack of keywords in their content. The only way that the major search engines will be able to find you is by looking for keyword rich content. By not putting relevant keywords in the content that you have, you will be missing the boat when it comes to getting the attention that you want from the search engines. This will lead to a decline in the traffic that you have to your website.

Web Design has changed dramatically since I began designing websites professionally in 2000. Back then I primarily coded every page manually in html and didn’t have to worry if it could be viewed correctly on mobile devices.

Nowadays, I design most of my websites using a content management system (CMS) like WordPress which utilizes responsive design (adjusts to any screen size)and can be easily updated from a backend administration panel.

  • Do you want to build an online community similar to Facebook except on your own domain?

StudioPress Theme of the Month

No longer are people just accessing websites from desktop computers. With the explosion of smartphones and tablets people are now surfing the web from a multitude of different devices. They want to have access to information from anywhere at anytime. This means website owners must create a mobile version of their current desktop website if they wish to appeal to a wide audience. If not they’re missing out on sales and or subscribers.

What is Responsive Web design?

Often referred to as RWD, it’s where your website layout adapts to the viewing environment whether it is a desktop computer, tablet or mobile phone. For example the Boston Globe is a good example of a responsive website that can be displayed on multiple devices.

Here is an overview of Google’s recommendations

1. Google recommends webmasters follow the industry best practice of using responsive Web design, namely serving the same HTML for all devices and using only CSS media queries to decide the rendering on each device.

2. If responsive design is not the best option to serve your users, Google supports serving your content using different HTML. The different HTML can be on the same URL (a setup called dynamic serving) or on different URLs, and Googlebot can handle both setups appropriately if you follow our setup recommendations.
