Why Your Business Needs a Website: Beyond the Obvious
Having a website is more than just keeping up with the times. It’s about creating a unique digital identity that reflects your business’s personality and culture. At Black and White Boy, we believe in diving deep to uncover what makes your company special.
Your Website: The Hub of Your Online Presence
Since 1998, we’ve witnessed the evolution of web design. One constant remains: savvy marketers use their website as the central point for all online activities. Why? Unlike social media platforms, it’s the only online space you fully control, where you own and retain all collected data.
Reframing Your Web Design Project
Identify Clear Objectives
To create a truly effective website, you need to:
- Think deeply about your business’s unique qualities
- Set clear, achievable objectives
- Consider how to embody your business digitally
Focus on Your Customer
Remember, your website should primarily serve your customers, not just showcase your business. Consider:
- Recent customer questions
- Common customer problems
- Your unique solutions
- Your USP (Unique Selling Proposition)

Defining Your Ideal Customer
Avoid the “everyone is our customer” trap. Targeting everyone effectively means targeting no one. Instead:
- Create a customer persona
- Tailor your message to this ideal customer
- Focus on demographics: income, gender, age, personality
This approach allows you to:
- Concentrate your marketing efforts
- Resonate with your most profitable audience
- Differentiate yourself from competitors
Mobile-First Design: A Necessity, Not an Option
The Shift to Mobile
Most search queries now happen on mobile devices. Google prioritises mobile-responsive sites in search results, furthermore, it only indexes mobile versions of your website. So if you’re site doesn’t give the best experience for mobile devices your audience uses, then that could be a bottleneck to getting enquiries or sales online.
Key Mobile Design Considerations
- Responsive design that adapts to all screen sizes
- Legible text on small screens
- Clickable phone numbers and email addresses
- Optimised video and rich media for mobile viewing
Beyond Design: The Importance of SEO
Having a beautifully designed website isn’t enough. To succeed online, you need:
- Solid website architecture
- SEO best practices implemented from the start
- Ongoing optimization and digital marketing efforts
At Black and White Boy, we build websites with both design and SEO in mind, ensuring:
- Easy crawling and indexing by search engines
- Strong foundations for future marketing campaigns
- Maximum benefits right from launch
By focusing on these key areas, you’ll create a website that looks great, performs well in search rankings, and truly serves your business goals.
