Process – Website Design / Website Update
One of the questions that we are asked all the time is what process do we use to create or update websites. We have had a process page up on our site for a while but never put anything in there. So here is the process we use to for all of our Website Design.
Scope – Website Design
At this stage we will sit down with you and find out more about
- Who your target market is for your website
- What do you want to achieve out of your website design
We will then create a mockup based on our discussion and existing websites if you have one.
Implement – Website Design
This is the process of going live. We ideally want to get you live as soon as we can. So we go through the following process
- Create a prototype of the mockup
- Fill in the content
- Implement SEO Components based on SEO analysis
- Test Website
- Go Live
Improve – Website Design
The last stage is looking at how successful the website design is for you and then making changes based on that
- We view visitor behavior
- We review content and see what is being consumed
- We improve the website based on the findings
Everything is great about analytics but over time analytics loses its value because of these two problems
- It is hard to access
- You do not know what actions to take based on the reports
Making Analytics easy to access
We’ll look at how we can solve the first issue on this post, being hard to access.
Google Analytics has a great way of setting up alerts and scheduling of sending reports that makes it easy for you to access data. The problem with things being sent to you is that you are not motivated to view them. For me, my analytics reports land on my inbox once every 2 weeks and I barely look at them. What I really do to view what my visitors are doing is use custom applications that read analytics data and I can access information that is important for me through these. Here are a bunch of applications on iphone and Adobe Air that you can use to keep track of your analytics.
For this post we’ll mainly focus on free applications:
Google Analytics – Adobe Air applications
Polaris for Google Analytics
Polaris is a cross-platform desktop widget for Google Analytics. With 8 standard reports it’s the easiest way keep your data always instantly available. The rich interface and swift navigation make it a pleasure to use.

TrakkBoard Adobe Air Application for Google Analytics
Trakkboard allows you to compare and view reports on single or multiple Google Analytics accounts form one dashboard. You do not need to log into Google Analytics and can create multiple dashboards for the data you are comparing.

Piwik – Adobe Air applications

For every order on your online ecommerce store/shopping cart, you should be tracking
On an Individual Basis
– what keyword and search engine got you the sale
– how many products did the customer look at before deciding to purchase with you
– What other products did the customer look at when purchasing that particular product
– was it a new or a repeat customer
– what affiliate website or geographical location did the customer come from
– What additional pages do they go to before making a purchase (terms and condition, support, postage etc)
– what items did they search for on the site
On a group level
– what is your most successful landing page (entry page)
– what page do you have the most exits from
– What is your overall average time on site for product pages
– What is your overall average time on site for category pages
What do you do with this data
– For keywords generating higher sales, run a SEM campaign with those keywords
– Invest in marketing in geographical locations and affiliates which are giving you sales
– If the customer looks at a higher number of products before purchase, put similar products on the product page as recommendations
– Try and convert more new visitors into customers by having information such as postage, product material, terms within easy reach.
– Fill up your inventory with products corresponding to search queries that resulted in no results
– Remove distractions once they click on checkout and make it an easy process. Only put information such as support/terms and make it so that you wont have to click or go away from the page
