The whole point of having a website is to inform site users about your product, brand or service while leading them down the sales funnel in the process. However, far too many companies fall into the trap of launching their website and subsequently ignoring it, failing to engage with site users, letting its content become stagnant and in some cases, harm their brand image. In its current guise, does your website generating sales and enquiries? If the answer is ‘No’ or, ‘I’m not sure’ then it’s time to take a look at redesigning your online presence. 2Cubed specialise in producing fully bespoke Web Designs for clients based in Dublin and beyond. Experts in WordPress & Magento Development, we take our clients ideas for their brands and make them an online reality.

Is your website mobile optimised?

Websites that have not been designed to effectively display on mobile devices should be consigned to the annals of history. Mobile traffic has seen double digit growth since 2009, rising to just over 50% in 2017 and any company that fails to adjust their online approach to accommodate this growth in traffic runs the risk of alienating more than half of their target market and being left in their competitors wake in the process.

Have You Switched From HTTP to HTTPS?

Https isn’t just for online shops anymore. This is due to the fact that Google have recently strengthened their stance on the importance of site security with the presence of HTTPS singling out a sites security level to Google’s ranking algorithm. Sites that fail to change over from http to https are being hit with reductions in their Google Search Result Page ranking as can be seen in the fact that more than 75% of results on page one of Google Search Results consist of HTTPS sites.

Is Your User Experience Up To Scratch?

User Experience, or UX is the invogue buzzword in contemporary web design. In the past few years we have become more and more accustomed to making use of the internet on a daily basis. As such, our expectations of functionality and user experience have increased and sites that don’t meet our expectations won’t be long seeing their traffic numbers fall. Does your current site take an eternity to fully load? Is a long winded sales journey causing you to hemorrhage potential customers? Are site users engaging with your content? Sites that experience a high level of engagement while providing a high standard of user experience (UX) will be similarly rewarded with an improvement in their SERP positioning. First and foremost, visitors must be able to find their desired product and complete a purchase in as few clicks as possible. Simplifying the customer journey will help reduce your bounce rate and help push site users down the sales funnel. Engaging, informative and targeted content helps minimise site bounce rate, gives your brand a sense of industry authority in the eyes of site users and is another of those all important signals of competency that Google’s Search Algorithm likes to reward.
