Better Load times = higher conversions
In today's highly competitive online landscape, every advantage counts if you want to stand out and surpass your competitors. While most businesses rely on page builders that often result in slow load times, you can set yourself apart with a custom-coded website that loads almost instantly. This distinction is crucial because research shows that if a website takes more than 3 seconds to load, up to 50% of visitors may leave before they even see your content. People simply don’t have the patience to wait. With our custom-built websites, speed is never an issue—our sites load so quickly that visitors have no chance to leave out of frustration, keeping them engaged and dramatically increasing your ability to capture leads compared to your old, slower site. Fast load times mean more visitors, higher retention, and ultimately better business performance.
Better Ads Performance
Faster websites lead to better Ad performances. Conversions on faster sites tend to be improved but on top of this google prefers websites that load fast meaning you could actually have a lower cost per click rate on your ads, saving you hundreds or more per month.
Custom Coded Websites Are More Secure
Site builders such as wordpress have lots of vulnerabilities and points of entry into the site that can be compromised. If you aren't constantly updating your plugins and WordPress version then you are increasing the chances of getting hacked every day you don't. Hackers target WordPress more than any other platform because they are easier to get into (especially if you aren't doing your updates!).
When using a site made of custom code, there are no databses or server side requests being made that hackers can intercept and hijack to insert their own code to redirect a site to a spam site. It's just static HTML and CSS files. There's nothing TO hack. We can leave our sites alone for 10 years and nothing will happen to them. They are as secure as you can get. A website with no backend offers significant security benefits due to its simplicity. With no backend, there's no login system or sensitive data to be hacked, making it a less attractive target for cybercriminals. This simplicity reduces the risk of exploitation through software vulnerabilities, providing a safer and more secure web presence.
Improve your search ranking
Faster load times can boost your Google ranking in several ways. One direct impact is simply by being quicker. When two sites are similar in content and domain authority, Google has made it clear that the one with superior Page Speed and Core Web Vitals will rank higher. Another benefit is more indirect. A faster site attracts more visitors because they’re not deterred by slow loading times. As traffic increases, so does your potential ranking. By optimising for Core Web Vitals, we create a smoother user experience, leading to longer session durations and higher engagement. More traffic, longer visits, and better click-through rates signal to Google that your site delivers valuable, relevant content, improving your ranking as a trusted source of information.
Boost Your Google Business Profile
A quicker-loading website can significantly enhance your Google Business Profile, increasing your chances of appearing in Maps searches. When combined with numerous 5-star reviews, high-quality images, and a fully optimised profile, you'll notice a rise in leads from your business listing. The more visibility we create for your profile, the more traffic it drives to your website, which in turn provides more opportunities to convert visitors into leads. A well-maintained profile with fast load times positions your business more prominently, helping you attract and engage more potential customers.
