Best Web Design Dublin – Why its Digital Sales and What to avoid…

Best Web Design in Dublin – We often receive inbound leads from companies who have engaged with a so-called web design company in Dublin and throughout Ireland, spent a minimal investment in financial terms, built an average looking website.  But still months later no leads, no traffic, a waste of investment…..surprise surprise??

It’s quite simple, if it’s too good to be true then start asking questions.  Ask the Irish Government who went with the cheapest bidder to build the Children’s Hospital in Dublin and see what a mess they are in now….

It’s perfectly fine going cheap if you just want a website to have a presence online, but if you want leads generation and sales, go cheap at your peril.

Best Web Design Dublin – What to look out for?

At Digital Sales our web developers work with our clients to bring their ideas and dreams to life. Where basic templates don’t work that’s where we come in. Our developers create wireframe websites and customize them to our client leads, CTA, drop-down menus, interactive chatbots etc. can all be developed to client’s specifications. Basic templates such as the ones showing can be boring, bug heavy and not optimized for SEO.

Template Website Designs….The big tell tail sign is looking at the website design company’s own website.  Is it well designed?  Is it creative?  Or does it look like a standard template website design?  Here are a few web design Dublin websites, spot how basic they are and how they look just like each other!!

Do they use person based stock images?

These can be useful in the initial stages of setting up a website, but you want to advertise your brand, product and services as much as possible throughout your website. We can help you with this when you discuss your ideas with our team. Branded imagery is a great way to highlight your businesses professionalism and stake within your industry.

Using person based stock images are a no no and user don’t respond well to them.

Do they still have a Google Plus link on their site?

Having dead links of any kind including Google + is a bad sign to search engines. Our team ensure your links are working and directed to the right web pages. Should your website go through an update we will be sure to check that this remains the same. Broken links are bad for SEO and don’t look great when they lead to dead ends for your customers and website users.

Have they got a Google Plus link on their site?  Google Plus has been closed down for a few years now!!  And Broken Links are VERY bad for SEO Performance.  Here are a few examples:

Mobile Numbers versus Landline Numbers…

This may seem rather basic, but do they have a landline number, a Dublin number for example?  A Dublin office address?  Or do they have mobile number on their site, this would symbolise a small web design team, a team that may not have the resources and time to create best web designs in Dublin.
