Web Design for SEO with a Content Management System

March 15th, 2010

At Montpellier Interactive, we do Web Design.

Not the most dazzling statement ever. However our website designs are more effective than most. Why?

Our websites are SEO friendly. This means that we design websites from the ground-up that are based around the search engines, as well as using a design that converts visitors into sales prospects. In addition to this, we design websites which use our CMS platorm – this gives you the ability to edit the content yourself, add new pages and pictures, embed video clips, use flash, in fact if you want your website to do virtually anything, we can make it happen, because aside from being Web Designers and SEO experts, we also speciliaise in creating bespoke websites that communicate with databases, shopping carts, property portals such as Globrix, and a whole lot more.

Creative Web Design

Our sister company specialises in Creative Web Designs, and works with a number of businesses in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and across the UK, even overseas. They produce a Flat web design that we skin over the CMS framework. Once we have agreed a design flat, this is translated into what is called a Dynamic Web Page. The reason it is called Dynamic is that once it’s on the CMS, it will change dynamically when the CMS is updated. For example, when you add a new page and write some copy in the CMS, the home page of the site will update that second and a new page will be visible in the site navigation – when clicked, the new page and copy will be displayed.

SEO Friendly Web Design

When we make a website we make it easy to navigate with strong calls-to-action where they need to be. However we also make it easy to navigate for a search engine. By showing search engines exaclty what your business does, and correctly designing the site using SEO best practice, we make the website a powerful marketing tool, rather than a static brochure that nobody can find unless they already know your website’s address. It’s a bit like moving a shop from the back of beyond to the high street – you’ll see a huge increase in targetted traffic to the site.

Web Design to convert traffic

It’s all very well having the world and his wife visit your website, but if they can’t find what they are looking for within a couple of seconds, it’s all too easy to click their “Back” button and click on the next website in the search results. We design sites that funnel traffic towards your goals, wether that is completing a contact form, signing-up for a newsletter, or making a purchase. Our web designs are arranged to capture incoming traffic, reassure visitors that they are in the right place and clearly signpost them to your end-goal.

CMS Web Design

Our Content management System gives you full control over your website’s page design and content. You can add a new page with a single click. You can upload images and insert them into your pages, and eaily lay-out your words, pictures, slide shows and videos, then preview your changes before they take effect on your live website.  A content management also allows you to stay on top of price changes, update recent news,  promote new products and services, and change your websites’s graphics depending on which page the visitor is on – in fact you can do just about anything you like, without paying a web designer to do it for you.

Bespoke web design

We also design websites that need to be a bit special. Wether it’s an online shop, a custom webiste application for your property database, a sign-up form that adds new entries to your email marketing database, a login area for downloads, an ebay style swapping site, interactive games, flash animations – your imagination is the only thing that limits what we can create for you!
