If you are visiting for the first time you may notice that things are a little bit bare at the moment. I am currently working on uploading some of our previous work and writing my first few posts that will look at important aspects of design.
Website With A Blog….Or?
I have been trying to work out whether WebPros is a business website with a blog or a blog that also provides a service. I have come to the conclusion that it is both and different people will use it in different ways. While some people may visit specifically because they are looking for design work, others will just come to read our blog posts and learn more about website design and to get inspired.
Why A Blog?
Simple CMS
I decided to run WebPros on the Wordpress blogging platform because I wanted a content management system that I was familiar with and that was extremely easy to use. A lot of people miss out because they think of Wordpress as only a blogging platform, when it can easily be used as a content management system for any style of website.
Fresh Content
Blogs keep people coming back with their frequently updated content. This is one of my favourite benefits about blogs, you build up a reader base, which means you don’t have to go searching for all your visitors - they come each time you make a new post.
Fresh content is great for search engines and visitors alike. The more your page is updated, the more frequent the search engines will visit your website and no one likes to visit a website that always stays the same.
Blogging Makes Things More Personal
In my opinion, especially on a business website, blogging allows you to add a more personal touch to your website. It allows you to meet and get to know your visitors and let’s them know that you are a real person.
Helps Get More Clients
When people are looking for a designer, the truth is that they usually use someone they know or are recommended by someone else. My goal with adding a blog to this website, is that my visitors will turn into subscribers and get to know us and our work so that when it comes time for them to need some design work done - they will come to us.
Subscribe For ‘Blog Only’ Design Specials
Everybody loves to get things cheaper and sometimes I get a bit of extra spare time. So I have decided to add the two together and randomly offer ‘blog only’ special discounts on my design service from time to time. You will need to make sure that you are subscribed so that you are the first to get back to me if you want to take advantage of these offers.
And believe me when I say, “There will be heavy discounts!” So make sure you subscribe now, and dont miss out on these fantastic offers.
So Stay Tuned…
That is everything for now. In am still unpacking a lot of stuff, so make sure you come back and check us out when everything is finished! And if you ever need any design work or advice, feel free to hit us up through the contact page!
