A good website needs to be planned and designed with a purpose in mind. There are countless factors which make a successful website, like design, functionality and technology. But what is the key element and most important thing for your website?

It’s Content!

Website content very often takes a back seat to design, planning and features, but it is the backbone of your online presence.

  • Content persuades your visitors to take action

  • Content is what Google indexes so your potential clients can find you

  • Content shapes the design

  • Content increases website traffic

By content I don’t just mean the copy, it also comes in the form of photography, graphics and video.

By focusing on different types of content, you’ll be able to attract a bigger and broader audience to your website, blog, social media pages, and anything else promoting your website.
