Why You Still Need a Professional Web Design & SEO Agency
These days when we have website builders as great as WordPress, and when Google offers all the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) tools you need for free, why would people want a professional web design & SEO agency? On a similar note, if car repair tools exist, who needs a mechanic? If paint brushes exist, who needs an artist to paint your portrait? Yes, there are some excellent tools out there for website design and search engine optimization but using them correctly takes a lot of work. It takes a lot of learning, a lot of effort, and a lot of mistakes. If you are looking to get the job done without the painful growing pains, then you should hire an agency to help you.
Tailoring Your Website is a Tough Job
The great thing about WordPress and similar platforms is that you can use a template that suits your need, and then pick between a series of plugins to help you achieve whatever you want to achieve.
Sadly, if you want a complex or sophisticated website, it means layering a plugin on top of a plugin until your website takes a very long time to load. Or, the worst-case scenario is that your website is full of bugs because your many plugins conflict.
Added to this, there are many times when you want to do something and you cannot find reliable plugins to do the job. Or, when you have all your plugins and you know what you want, but the combined cost of all the plugins and their subscriptions means your website starts out very expensive and unprofitable.
Working on Your SEO is Non-Stop
The sad part about modern SEO is that it takes constant effort. There is simply so much material being produced that you are going to have a very hard time keeping up. Without the help of a dedicated team, your content and your search engine standing will be lost. It is not that you are doing anything wrong, it is just that your many competitors are going to keep pushing ahead of you. That is why you need a team working almost nonstop to ensure your online ranking doesn’t sink.
People can do this on their own, they can do their own SEO every day, but it is so time-consuming that it is ultimately not worth it. Also, where you may keep your website’s popularity ticking over on the search engines for a little while, you are always going to fall behind the companies that are using SEO companies unless you are using an SEO company yourself.
Find a Good SEO Agency
Finding a good and professional web design & SEO agency is not easy, but there are a few things to consider. Firstly, don’t worry about positive reviews because they can be faked. Secondly, if the company has been in business for years and still has the same name, then it is probably good because the poor quality companies tend to fall the fastest and end up changing their name. Thirdly, use a company that actually explains what it will do and why, rather than making vague promises. The team at Website Depot Inc is long-established and is very transparent as to what they will do, how they will do it, and how it will benefit your website, your company, or your brand.
