Welcome to the official Angel SEO blog brought to you by SEO Nottingham

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:

• You are using a slow host server – upgrade or move host servers.
• You are using slow redirects – try and avoid this.
• You have large images on your site – consider changing image sizes and/or image.
• Your pages are excessively long – try to avoid this where ever possible.
• You have an unnecessary amount of cookies

For more reasons why your page could be loading slowly, read Angel SEO’s article – How can I improve my site’s speed for Google.

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.
