Best Web Design

Bath’s best web design…?

Is Digerati Studio the best web design company in Bath? Who knows? But this page will hopefully demonstrate an interesting concept with search engines. And the best web site design company needs to also know about how to get those great designs noticed.

The thing is that search engines are not people like you and me, although let’s be honest I wish I knew as much as Google! So a search engine cannot tell whether a design is good or not, and there are a lot of objective and subjective elements that dictate what makes the best web design in Bath, Bristol, the UK or even the world.

What actually happens is that search engines read the content (text) of the page to see what it is talking about - in this case: the debate about the best web design. They also like big titles like this one:

Best Web Design in Bath and Bristol

The Internet is a constantly changing place with more and more ecommerce websites, online shops, company websites showing off what they can do and all of these require great web design (the best is often more elusive). How many times have you searched for ‘best website designs’ or ‘best web design’ or even ‘best web design company’? I know we have typed it in a fair few times. It always seems to show up bizarre web sites where the design is not always the world’s best. But again, the search engine cannot distinguish whether web page design is the best or if it doesn’t quite meet the mark.

I have rattled on enough about this. Let’s wait and see if my little experiment works, and I’ll post an update on it in due course.

Thanks for listening!

  1. I would agree that Digerati Studio is the best web design company in Bath, but Digerati Studio pay my wage, so I would say that!

  2. Who knows? I know. There are definitely better web design companies in Bath. Like Kerve, or Complete Control. Even if nobody reads your blog except people that work for you, it’s definitely not a good idea to ask questions like, hey guys, isn’t the company I run the best?

    Sorry.

  3. Thanks for the comment Mister Pink!

    The point of the post was not to say “isn’t the company I run the best?”. It was merely making a point that when you search for something online you often use words like, ‘best’ or ‘top’ when in reality they don’t necessarily help. Rarely is there a source of unbiased opinion on what defines ‘the best’.

    Thanks again for the post and sorry if it offended you at all.

    For the record I know one of the guys at Complete Control and I like them too!
