A Free Content Management System When You Buy A Website Design!

Based in Scotland, Hobo is, first and foremost, a seo company, but we make websites. In fact, we’ve built websites for corporates, colleges, universities and charities - and a lot of small businesses. To be successful in Google, you need a website you can update easily, because Google loves fresh content. Understanding this, every site we design needs to be easy to edit.

That’s why, when you hire us to create your next website design, every one of our websites come with a free content management system (a CMS) installed. Yes, that’s right - you do not need to ‘buy it’. (more…)

I decided to write this post because it is clear some clients, no matter how clear you aim to be, think that buying a website from Hobo, because we are a search engine optimization company, means a lifetime supply of free traffic from Google. That’s not how it works. Especially for a small business website design package that costs hundreds of pounds.

For small businesses, we provide a search engine friendly website design and development service, ranging from hundreds of pounds to a couple of thousand pounds. When we launch this site we ensure Google, Yahoo and MSN find the site and index it accordingly. We ensure this site is promoted to all the search engines before project end. (more…)
