Web design consultancy

Already have a website? Does it look out of date? Not sure why it is not performing?

There are many reasons why your website is not meeting your performance objectives. Chances are that your website is uses out of date standards or design techniques. This has an impact on a site's performance in search engines, with accessibility technologies and appear dated to visitors. This is often compounded when a site isn't regularly updated with new content.

The internet is intended to provide current information and to change with advances in standards and technology. If your site has not been updated or is no longer standards compliant, it will underperform.

How can Redcentaur help spring clean your website?

Often, a few simple changes to a website can dramatically change its fortunes. These changes are not usually complicated and rarely require the site to be completely rebuilt. Redcentaur will review your site on several levels.

  • We will look at the visual identity of your site and review it against your objectives. This will show you where and why your site is underperforming against your own expectations.
  • We will delve into the code and identify where your site is outdated and fails to meet current standards. Think of this as completing a building survey on a house you are thinking of buying: we'll assess your site against current standards and identify where there are real performance issues. This is done using a pragmatic approach: we do not identify an issue where non-compliance does not really affect your site's performance.
  • We will also assess your site against current accessibility standards to ensure that it performs at its best for the majority of people who visit it. All websites have a legal responsibility to be accessible to visitors with disabilities and by following some basic guidelines, your site can be improved for all visitors.
  • Finally, your site is assessed for its search engine compatibility. We will provide you with a few tips and ideas to improve its search engine rankings. This performance often drives visitors to your site and is an important factor to try to get right.
  • Once this assessment is completed, we will send you a report detailing our view of your website and identifying key areas that can be improved.

Such consultations are completed on an hourly rate. Most of these are completed fairly quickly and can provide you with a report for around £260.
