What Makes a Great Website?

A successful website is like a house plant: You have to feed it (fresh content), shine light on it (SEO), talk to it (blog), trim the dead parts (old keywords), and check in on it now and then (monthly analytics).

Frequently Asked Questions
Your professional-looking website is a reflection of your brand quality. Customers use it to find and read about your business when they search on Google or Bing (which is the new phone book.) You need to keep updating it with new content or Google gets bored and shows it to fewer people. Here's an even longer explanation.
At Saucer we follow the below list when building your website:
- Meet with you to discuss the plan and your expectations.
- Create a Timeline of key production dates.
- Create a Sitemap of website pages.
- Create a Mockup of the Home page and one interior page for review.
- Create a test site where we build your website before launching.
- Have meetings to discuss test site progress.
- Check the test site for cross-browser and mobile device errors.
- Finalize and launch the developed website on your hosting space or ours.
- Test the site for any errors after launch.
Simple websites can be built in under 30 days. Larger, more complicated sites can take three months or longer.
We build our websites with WordPress, the number one CMS with lots of great plugins available. Then we use an easy-to-use drag and drop editing plugin. We'll show you how!
Google search results show your website to customers in two ways:
- Paid ads. When Google puts your website on top of the first page of a Google search and charges you each time someone clicks the link to go to your website. You can also run display ads, where Google places an ad for your business on other people's websites. This is ideal for a brand new website.
- Organic results. To be on the first page of a Google search organically takes both time and fresh, keyword-rich content added regularly to your site. And other factors like social media and positive Google reviews. Ask us about SEO!
Updating your site makes Google show it to more people. But if you don't, we'll spend that time doing Search Engine Optimization, photography, etc. Whatever you need.
