In today’s business environment your website is your businesses greatest asset – or at least it should be. Find out what Ben Hirons, Director of Due North, believes your website is one of the most important investments you’ll make in your business.

Step 1
Strategy & User Experience Mapping
As we develop your website strategy, we look at what your website needs to achieve for each of your target audiences, and what user journey each audience needs to follow to engage them, answer their questions and ultimately convert.
If you have an existing website, we will gather data from Google Analytics to reveal who your website visitors are, how they are interacting with your website and what they are most interested in. This helps to inform the new site map and user journey to improve usability and navigation.
We will often look at the following during this stage:
- Target audience needs – Taking into consideration their demographics and needs we design a site map that will be intuitive to how they will search for and educate themselves on your product.
- Simplifying forms – To make it easier for users to engage with you.
- Ways to contact – Providing multiple ways to connect with you (phone, email, live chat, messenger) to ensure your customers can get in touch any time of the day in the way they want most.
- Calls to action – The deliberate action you want your audience to make at the end of each page.
- Streamlining the enquiry or checkout process – We look for the drop out points in your current process and examine the cause to create a greater user experience to increase conversions.
Step 2
Website Design & Development
Our expert website developers and designers get to work, creating a website that not only looks great but performs well from a technical standpoint, so it is fast, accessible, mobile-responsive, and easy to navigate. We recommend using WordPress for all new website builds due to the flexibility and adaptability of the platform and the extensive plugins that can meet a wide variety of website needs – now and into the future.
Step 3
Website Copywriting
While your website is being developed, our highly experienced copywriter gets started on developing your key messages and writing engaging content that not only informs, but piques interest. Depending on what you need, this may include a complete content overhaul or content for key pages like your Home, About, and Services pages.
Step 4
Search Engine Optimisation
We then turn our focus to looking at how we get your site to appear higher in search results with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). With an impressive website that is written well you are well on your way, though our SEO specialists will dig deeper looking at ways to improve your website, increase your backlinks, and optimise content, to improve keyword rankings and generate more leads and revenue.
Step 5
Analytics and Optimisation
Once your website is up and running, that is when we test, measure, and optimise to ensure it continues to perform and convert. With close observation of analytics, we will recommend content changes, technical improvements, and page additions to ensure you continue to capture the attention of your audience and Google.
Step 6
Content Marketing & Ongoing Improvements
Regular content is critical for your website performance, and it is a great way to raise awareness for your brand, engage your audience, and showcase your thought leadership. Our content specialists will work alongside you to develop an editorial calendar that will ensure your website is updated regularly with relevant, informative, and engaging content.
