We were already qualified, but this makes it official!

The old adage of ‘location, location, location’ can quite easily apply to the web. Sure you might have the best looking website design, the most user friendly interface and the most logical ecommerce platform, but if the only person noticing that is you it’s all been a bit of a waste of time. You need to drive people to your web site and the way to do that is through Google.

Our web designs look pretty, they also work well, but just as importantly they are built with SEO in mind.

The power of CSS lies in the hands of skilled designers and web developers, CSS design is extremely important and has numerous benefits. If that statement baffles you then listen up and I will explain as simply and quickly as I can what I am talking about.

To build a website that will truly work for the client you need to make sure that the site is designed inline with the brief and that it’s coded using strict CSS (Cascading Stylesheets). XHTML and CSS have many benefits, with clean code, faster browser loads and the first step to achieving proper search engine optimisation (SEO).

With the combined skill of each member of our web design team we achieve excellent results for our clients and beautiful websites at the same time. Have a look at some of our work which has received recognition from CSS Mania.

One of the single most important elements that can make or break a web site has to be its visibility on Google. That coveted 1st page that everyone is striving for is no easy feat to achieve but we think we are pretty good at it, so much so we are about to put it to the test

Back in January we set ourselves a target, to get on the first page of Google.co.uk for the search term ‘Web design London’. It’s just about one of the toughest phrases we could find with 11,500,000 other competing pages to beat.

The rules were simple. Within four months (10th April 2008) www.netdreams.co.uk had to be listed on the first page of Google.co.uk for the search term ‘web design london’.

The results are in…

Google.co.uk – page 1, position 5
Google.com page 1, position 5
Yahoo.co.uk page 1, position 1
MSN.co.uk page 1, position 1
MSN.com page 1, position 1

Traffic to our site and enquires have shot through the roof. If you are serious about SEO and have the resources come and have a chat.

UPDATE: We are now Google Qualified for AdWords.
