Back in July last year I spoke with Tess Coughlan-Allen about planning the content for your website,

along with tips for getting started and a helpful tool to map out your content.

I firmly believe that websites should be built around the content first and is actually a key part of the design process.

If you are starting a new web project or revising your current site you’ll find real value in this conversation.

Does your business need a website any more? Can’t we just publish our details on Facebook and even use it to sell products directly?

With so much communication already happening on social platforms it makes sense to move over your brand presence as well. Or does it?

Here’s an extract from a conversation with Ben Wheeler in which we discuss the role of websites in marketing and ask in are they diminishing in favour of social business pages.

Continuing on our theme of SEO I thought this interview with Duane Forrester (recorded back in early 2019) would be helpful to show how structured data and schema is a key trust signal for search engines.

We discuss why we should be using structured data on our website, how this impacts conventional SEO and why it matters for voice and augmented reality.
