SEO-Focused Development
Nice design is great. Being found is better. We build every site in Essex with search in mind from day one: clean markup, quick loads, zero fluff.
What we bake in:
- Lean, structured HTML that Google can crawl
- Copy shaped around real search intent in Essex (Chelmsford, Colchester, Brentwood)
- Optimised assets: compressed images, tidy CSS/JS
- On-page essentials done right: titles, meta, headers, internal links, schema when it helps
