With the ever advancing Internet, CSS has become a key part of modern day web design. CSS design improves a websites accessibility, SEO potential and manageability.
Before the arrival of CSS website were built and designed in tables – this is now old practice and many website owners don’t know this, but we feel they should be made aware of this fact because it could be harming their site in terms of SEO, accessibility and the user experience. If the user has a bad experience on your site (i.e. slow loading pages) they are unlikely to purchase from you, so an old designed website could be affecting your sales.
If you want to know more about the benefits of CSS web design read – Benefits of CSS/HTML design – tips to improve SEO, accessibility and manageability.
With the imminent launch of Google Me, a new social network from the search engine giant. The social network fight has never been greater, is Google Me really going to be able to take on social networking king Facebook?
The first major object in Google Me’ way is the fact that do people even need a new social network?, everyone seems pretty happy with Facebook, Twitter and crew at the moment. Even with Facebooks recent privacy issues and the Twitter hacking episode.
Since it first began in Zuckerberg’s university digs, Facebook has gone from strength to strength increasing users on a daily based, this year passing the 500 million active users mark. An amazing achievement for something that started so small.
Earlier this year Google confirmed rampant rumours that they were indeed going to have their own social networking feature, apply named Google Me.
Social search has enabled search engines, Google included to get a better idea of what the user wants, what they look at, etc. The Facebook “like” function has helped massively here. We are now starting to see social search elements being included in search engine algorthytms, in turn meaning the user gets a better experience, which at the end of the day is what Google is all about.
Google moving into the social networking market could be seen as a good move for the user, after all Google is all about the user. Who knows us users may get a better experience from Google Me than we do currently from Facebook, but really are we open to even changing networks to get that better experience?
So Google Me is coming whether we like it or not, whether we’ll use it or not. Can it succeed where MySpace failed? Time will tell if it can take on the social networking giant. Let us know your views; will you be tempted to change social networking sites? Or are you Facebook forever?

Angel SEO is happy to announce the launch of Clawson Lodge (www.clawson-lodge.co.uk).
Also a massive thanks has to go to graphic design Nottingham specialists Fifteen Design for their great design work on this project. If you would like to speak with the SEO Nottingham experts at Angel SEO, please visit www.angelseo.co.uk.
Angel SEO recently worked along side a leading design company to produce a bespoke SEO friendly website for Your IT Department, a local company based in Nottingham.
During this project we built a bespoke website that has been designed to be search engine friendly from day one. The website is expected to increase in website traffic over time due to its design, navigation, structure, AI and internal linking structure.
Their new website replaces a website that didn’t represent the company in a good light. Their previous site didn’t match the companies brand or services. Their new site is totally the opposite the company brand shines throughout the site, with pages highlighting services and their focus. The site has also been designed to appeal to search engines and be easy for users to navigate around.
Your IT’s bespoke website and blog were developed and launched by Angel SEO in just one week.
Go check out Your IT’s new site, www.your-itdepartment.co.uk.
Is your website loading to slow, losing visitors before your site has even finished loading, read this post to see how you can change that.
When Google’s latest search engine template launched (caffeine) it soon become very clear that page load times where going to be used as part of how it ranks websites. Google as always thinking about the users experience and wanting to deliver excellent quality content, easy navigation, images that reflect content and now, page load time. Industry experts have expected something of this kind after Matt Cutts (Senior engineer at Google) explained that “fast load times may have a positive effect on rankings” at a recent seminar in the states.
Some reasons why your web pages are loading slowly:

There is an interesting buzz around the SEO world at the moment regarding the Wordpress v HTML/CSS websites – which is better for SEO?
Dave Cain, MD of Angel SEO recently conducted a study into Wordpress v HTML/CSS websites. Read Dave’s findings here.
Using Wordpress and its templates format is no doubt the easier and cheaper option for building a your own website. You only have small step up costs, buying a domain name and hosting etc. Whereas a bespoke website, totally custom built for your business is more costly, but as Angel SEO’s research shows in the long term it is more time effective and SEO friendly. As Angel SEO’s research shows bespoke websites built using HTML/CSS remain in search engine rankings like Google, where as Wordpress maintained sites start dropping after just a few days. This is because Google treats them like a blog, and therefore expects them to be updated on a regular, if not daily basis.
SEO Expert Rand Fishkin supports Angel SEO’s finding by stating that unless you “strip it down and rebuild it from the ground up, do lots of great design things”. Therefore creating a bespoke site, hosted on its own domain, with no links back to Wordpress they aren’t successful in the long term. Again, fighting the corner for bespoke built websites that are lovingly crafted and created to be search engine friendly.
The message to all businesses and organisations that want to be successful online and rank on the first page of Google, is to get a bespoke SEO friendly HTML/CSS website built for your business.

Ravenshead Law approached Angel SEO for some professional advice about their existing website. The client was unsatisfied with their current website design & performance. We were only too happy to offer our expert opinion, and were quick to respond to completely overhaul the design and structure.
We worked closely with the client to identify key goals and objectives that were critical to business and user success criteria. We began by creating a neutral, yet professional look and feel that communicated a message of trust and warmth to the target audience.
We then proceeded to create SEO friendly pages and an information flow that appealed to the user. We wanted to inform the user as much as possible but were also keen to present a choice for the amount of information available. With this in mind we designed the ‘services’ section architecture to display a short summary of each service on offer. The user can choose to click through to more information about each service. SEO played a major role here – as we know from our SEO experience that Google and search engines love well written individual targeted pages.
The client was really pleased with the new website and is happy the site is designed around SEO, user and business goals. We are now embarking on a small SEO campaign to target many different terms relating to “Solicitors Nottingham“.

We recently delivered a great website for PosiSure. The client first approached Angel SEO to help improve their existing web presence. The existing PosiSure website failed to attract users and traffic and we were sure this was due to the site not conveying the right message of quality and professionalism.
Our mission was to completely re-design the entire website, including online brand & identity, look, feel and site architecture.
After working closely with PosiSure, we successfully captured the perfect identity to increase online brand awareness and loyalty. The new design is sleek, contemporary and appeals to the target market. All pages are SEO friendly and have been developed as an ideal building block to start a successful SEO campaign.
At Angel SEO we always strive to improve the user experience and SEO of a website as they often bring inherent benefits to the success of a website.
Needless to say the client was impressed with the final product and the turn around from concept to delivery.

Dave Cain (Angel SEO) gets the chance to grill Rand Fishkin (SEOmoz) about SEO including some fun SEO questions at the end.
A recent report by Hallam Consulting in Nottingham has revealed that a staggering 86% of small and medium businesses in Nottingham cannot be found easily in the search engines. The report, compiled by Hallam’s Director Susan Hallam, assigned a a ‘findability score’ to each website. The majority of businesses scored 70% or less. Of the top ten businesses, only three achieved a score of 90% or higher.
These results could indicate that companies in Nottingham are still not fully appreciating the value of search engine optimisation (SEO), or harnessing its potential. The other possibility is that they (or companies they have hired) are engaged in SEO activities, but these are proving ineffective.
It is evident from searching in Google that many Nottingham businesses rely on pay per click advertising. This refers to the ads that appear at the top of Google under ‘sponsored links’. Pay per click can bring good short term results but works out costly in the long run because your results are tied to (and limited by) your budget. Achieving good rankings organically (i.e. in the regular listings) is a better long term strategy because the cost of the search engine optimisation work is regular and fixed but the results are unlimited. A further limitation on pay per click is that only 10% of people trust and use those links – 90% click on organic results, and 99% of those users only select a result from page one.
