The benefits of outsourcing your digital presence

Fay Roe

You can't do everything!

In today's digital world a website is essential for business success. A website is not only a source of information to tell people about the products or services that you provide, but it is also a valuable tool to increase your earnings and boost revenue by attracting more customers.

 

To get these benefits, however, you need to have a sleek, user-friendly website that has quality, engaging and informative content that gives real value to the reader and it needs to be supported by the latest technology.

 

It sounds simple enough, right?

 

There is a wealth of information online that can guide you through the design process and help you understand what is SEO and how it works, but if you don’t possess all of the skills that are needed you risk damaging your digital presence and limiting the success of your online marketing.

 

You need to be honest about your skillset and capabilities!

 

Besides receiving a great web design, there are other advantages of outsourcing your web development: 

Saves your business money

Hiring a web design company is economical. If you plan to design your own website you need to factor in the labour costs for the time it will take you to hone your skills, test the website, edit code and more. Outsourcing web design allows you to work within a controlled budget. There are no hidden extra costs and you will not have your resources (time and energy, not just financial) tested.

Saves your time

Creating an effective website is labour intensive. Any issues that arise can seriously drain you of your precious time; time that could otherwise be spent on other revenue inflating activities. When you run your own business there are never enough hours in the day as it is, so why further burden your schedule?

 

Outsourcing also allows you to set a deadline that fits in with your business goals and objectives. This means that when you say you are going to relaunch your website, it happens. There is no more procrastination or delays due to other unexpected business commitments or obligations that invariably crop up. 

Gives you access to the latest technologies and innovations

Search engines are renowned for updating the algorithms that they use for ranking websites, and as you would expect the SEO best practices adjust in response. A web design and SEO agency keep up to speed with the innovations and will ensure that your website remains highly effective in the digital landscape. 

Quality is guaranteed

Collaborating with a web design and SEO agency means that you are working with professionals who have a deep understanding about how to make your digital marketing a success. This means that your website is technically optimised to boost visibility and business success, and your content is optimised to appeal to your target audience.

Looks don’t matter, right? Don’t judge a book by its cover, there’s more than meets the eye, beauty is in the eye of the beholder – there are many commonly used phrases that bestow the virtue of looking beyond the aesthetics. And in many other scenarios we agree, but when it comes to a business website design, none of the above apply. Is it shallow? Possibly. Does it negatively impact your business? Hugely. The world is image and technology obsessed, so how your website looks and functions is a big deal. A dated, clunky, or poorly designed website runs the risk of presenting your business as outdated and behind the times, at worse untrustworthy. If your competitors have sleek, modern, and user-friendly websites while yours feels stuck in the early 2000s, who do you think your audience will choose? The hidden costs of an outdated website An outdated website isn’t just a cosmetic issue. If you are missing the mark on the aesthetics, there are likely functional issues too. This negatively impacts your business in ways you may not even realise. Here’s what a poorly designed website tells your customers: You’re not keeping up with industry trends . If your website looks like it hasn’t been touched in years, visitors may assume your business isn’t evolving either or likely to offer the most up-to-date products or services. You don’t prioritise user experience . A slow, difficult-to-navigate website frustrates users and compels them to click away – life is too short to wait! You lack credibility . A poorly maintained website makes your business appear unreliable, reducing trust in your products or services.  You’re missing out on sales . A confusing, slow, or non-mobile-friendly site prevents potential customers from taking action, leading to lost revenue and reputation. Signs and symptoms you need a new website design If you have a website, especially if you designed it yourself, you may be blind to areas where it can be improved – the attachment to an underperforming DIY website design is both relatable (we’ve all done it) and damaging to your business. However diverse website designs are, they share common signs and symptoms when overdue a website upgrade:
