The Engage Blog is Launched!
No commentsWe think it’s really important that you blog on your website, and we’d be fools not to practice what we preach. Do you want to know why blogging is so important for a small business website? Well, that’s exactly the reason why we’re going to write these articles.
Well, we’re finally ready to launch the Engage Blog. This has been planned for about 8 months now and we’re quite excited to finally have the opportunity to pass on valuable news, tips, and tricks regarding websites for small businesses.
Web development is such a huge topic and, as we mention in our website, the task can often seem quite overwhelming, but the truth is, it’s not. It just needs to be explained in a way that regular business people can understand. Here are the various aspects we’ll be discussing in the blog:
Web Industry News
To really keep up with how fast this market is moving, you’d have to subscribe to 25 different RSS feeds (don’t worry if you don’t know what those are just yet… we’ll get to that another time) and then read about 50 daily articles on the subject. Let’s get serious though, that’s not something you want to do. That’s why we’re going to use this blog to just pass on the best of the best. You can trust that we’ll tell you all that you need to know.
Website Tools & Tips
This one might not make much sense. Why would we give you tips about the work that we’re supposed to do for you? Well the truth is that we want you to know the possibilities of what your site can do so that you ask us to create them for you! We want your site to work to its fullest potential and enable the best user experience possible, and to do that we have to constantly be looking for different ways to improve it.
Search Engine Optimization
Finally, and this is a big one, we’re going to constantly be feeding you with different techniques to get your site as high as possible on Google’s search rankings. Now, much like the last topic, this is something that’s takes place on our end, but it’s also something you, as a website owner, can have a direct effect on as well. The quality of the content in your site and how often you update it are two of the biggest factors in getting a great search engine ranking.
How we’re going to do it…
For one last point, we should mention that for the sake of simplicity we will be breaking down these areas in two ways. One method is posting topics as weekly segments. For example, perhaps every Monday we will post a tip about making your site search engine optimized. And the second method will be posting topics in the form a series. For example, we will soon be starting a 5 part series of the 5 main programming languages used in web development and what each of them are used for.
Thanks for stopping by the blog and we hope you come check it out again. We’ve got so much to talk about.
