πŸ“ˆ Publishing more content is not always the best SEO move.

A good SEO content strategy helps you decide what your website actually needs, including which existing pages deserve improvement and where genuinely new content makes sense.

My latest article covers:
🎯 Start with business goals and your audience
πŸ”Ž Review existing content before creating something new
🧠 Match search intent to the right pages
πŸ“Š Use keyword and performance data to guide decisions
πŸ”„ Decide whether to refresh, merge, create or monitor
πŸ”— Build stronger topic clusters and internal links
πŸ“… Turn the strategy into a manageable content plan
πŸ“ˆ Measure performance and use the data to decide what comes next
I also use Vamos as a real example of how I review existing content before choosing new blog topics.

πŸ“Έ We’ve written a new guest post for our friends at Photography by Nate Cleary , looking at how architectural photography can be planned specifically around website projects.

Great architectural photography does not automatically mean the images will work well on a website. The photography brief also needs to consider responsive layouts, project pages, image crops and the story each photograph must support.

πŸ–₯️ Map photographs to the website layouts before the shoot
πŸ“± Plan different crops for desktop and mobile screens
πŸ—οΈ Combine wide views with material and design details
πŸͺŸ Brief interior photography around light, staging and access
πŸ“ Agree image formats, usage rights and delivery requirements
βœ‚οΈ Leave enough space for headings and responsive crops

Planning the photography and website together creates a more flexible image library and reduces problems later in the project.

πŸ“ What should you include in a website brief before hiring a designer?

My latest article explains what information helps a web designer understand your business, define the project properly and give you a more useful proposal.

🏒 Explain what your business does
🎯 Define your website goals
🧭 Outline the pages you think you need
βš™οΈ Describe the functionality required
✍️ Clarify who is providing the content
🎨 Share your branding and design preferences
πŸ” Include SEO requirements
πŸ’· Be realistic about budget and timescale
πŸ“‹ Know what you do not need to specify

I also use Compton Pool as a real example of how business requirements can shape the structure, content, SEO and finished website.

πŸ–₯️ What actually happens between deciding you need a new website and launching it?

πŸ–ΌοΈ Reduce page weight

πŸ”Œ Simplify plugins and tools

🧱 Improve existing templates

⚑ Review hosting and caching

πŸ—οΈ Know when a rebuild is justified

πŸ›οΈ A product page needs to do more than show an image and a price.

✍️ Use original product descriptions
πŸ–ΌοΈ Optimise images and alt text
πŸ“¦ Show accurate stock and variations
⭐ Include reviews and trust information
πŸ”— Connect products with categories and related content

I also cover structured data, delivery details and what to do with out-of-stock or discontinued products.

πŸ›’ Which eCommerce platform is best for SEO?

WooCommerce, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and BigCommerce can all support search visibility, but they provide different levels of control.

In my latest article, I compare each platform across four practical areas:
βœ… Product management
βœ… Site speed
βœ… Content control
βœ… Technical flexibility

WooCommerce is the strongest overall option for SEO control, particularly for businesses that want flexible content, carefully structured categories and greater technical freedom.
However, Shopify or another hosted platform may be a better fit when simple day-to-day management matters more than deeper control.

The right decision depends on your catalogue, available support and long-term plans.

πŸ’» How much does website hosting cost for a small business?

The answer depends on what is included. Cheap shared hosting might only cover the basics, while managed WordPress hosting or hosting with support can include backups, security, updates and help when something goes wrong.

In my latest blog, I break down what small businesses are really paying for and why hosting prices vary so much.

Key sections covered:
πŸ’· UK website hosting price ranges
🧩 What you are really paying for
πŸ”’ Security, SSL and backups
⚑ WordPress hosting and performance
πŸ› οΈ Hosting, maintenance and support
πŸ“ A real anonymised Bristol client example

Before you hit publish, it is worth checking the details that can affect enquiries, SEO and user trust πŸš€

My latest blog covers a practical checklist for website launch, including forms, mobile display, redirects, analytics, cookies, speed, security and post-launch monitoring.

A smooth launch is not just about the design looking finished. It is about making sure the site works properly for real users from day one.
