Perth Website Slang and Terminology Explained
Are you looking for a new Perth website designer? But have been deterred because of all the confusing language? Design Web Perth makes things simple for our customers.
We thought we’d give a quick little web design tutorial on some of the terms you will hear Perth website developers say.
Backlink: Backlinks are links from other sites back to your own. Using lots of backlinks from high-ranking sites can greatly improve your search engine results.
Bad Neighbourhood: This refers to the server where your site is hosted, if you’re hosted by someone that also hosts spam/scamming pages, you’re in a bad neighbourhood and could be penalised for this.
Below the fold: Below the fold refers to the content below the first viewable point on your webpage (users have to scroll down to see it).
Bounce rate: This is the percentage of people who leave your site, without clicking through any pages. This can indicate a lot of factors, such as your website is too hard to navigate through or simply not interesting enough to stick around.
Breadcrumb: These are the navigation elements that appear at the top of the web page, showing the pages you went through to reach your current destination. Sometimes they can look like this home>category>post.
Cache: These are files that are copied by a web browser, so that next time you visit that site, it loads faster.
Link farm: This is a technique where websites are setup specifically to direct link popularity to another website. There are penalties for doing things like this.
Clutter: This is basically a poorly designed page, with too much information on one page and no use of white space. Have a read of our article on the use and importance of simplicity in Perth website design https://www.designwebperth.com.au/what-is-2018s-biggest-website-trend/
Hero: A hero is an oversized image, this is placed above the fold and is designed to catch your attention. It will generally include a ‘call-to-action’, asking you to sign up or contact now.

How important are online reviews?

Could having no reviews be as bad as having negative reviews? Can reviews really make or break a sale? Design Web Perth   believes that referrals and reviews are crucial and something your business should be actively seeking. With 92% of people reading reviews before buying, the statistics speak for themselves. Online reviews provide social proof, brand credibility and they give you an insight into the opinions of your customers. They also assist in your visibility on search engines. This is because each review increases your authority and relevance and therefore you have a better chance of being ranked higher. Testimonials or a  portfolio  can also be useful in reassuring customers, have a look how we incorporate ‘ our work’  into our website, this gives our Perth web design customers an idea of the quality of work we produce and shows who we have worked with.
