Lightquick Web Design - Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either

Web Optimisation - What is it?

Browser Compatibility

We will ensure that your website is readable on all standard browser technology and any embedded functionality is supported on both MACS and PCs. The main browser Internet Explorer 7.0 has a few bugs that cause certain valid HTML code to display incorrectly. The most widely used version of firefox is missing accessibility functionality that is available on IE. Safari is solely available on Macs which brings it's own pitfalls as the MacIntosh o/s does not support the same font set available for windows. Even when using an industry standard browser like firefox on your Mac you may still see inconsistencies . You may also want your site to appear to users of PDA type devices. The end result is that if you want your browser to appear the same on all machines and all browsers then a lot of testing and re-jigging is required. You need not worry about this as LightQuick will do all this testing this for you. We cannot underestimate how important this fact is. If the majority of your customers have older PCs then they may have older versions of the IE browse. If the site does not display well in IE6 then potentially all of your customers will be driven away if your site does not perform well on older technology. 

Google Adwords

It is not generally understood how important a Google Adwords campaign is in attracting visitors to your site. It is the single most crucial advertising and marketing step your company will make. The fact that 75% of your clientele will reach you via the google search engine is ample evidence that your marketing needs to be heavily focussed upon optimising your place in the google rankings.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a great way of tracking the visitor to your web site.

Google Analytics has been designed to help you learn all about where your visitors come from, how they interact with your website and what they do and don't like.

Google Analytics is an essential tool to all advertisers, publishers and website owners.

Google Analytics Dashboard puts all the information you need in one central location.

If you are serious about your internet site promotion you need Google Analytics.

Lightquick will install Google Analytics on your website as part of our Google Adwords service. 

Google Base or Froogle

Google's Froogle is now known as Google Base. It is a comparison shopping search engine which allows buyers to compare prices for various products all in one place. By focussing entirely on product search, Froogle applies the power of Google's search technology to a very specific task: locating stores that sell the item you want to find and pointing you directly to the place where you can make a purchase.

Lightquick will configure Google Base using your shop's product database as part of our Google optimisation service.
