In this episode I am joined by Gareth Melia from Melia Marketing and Design (meliamarketing.com) a Company based in Christchurch which has a global reach in both its audience and customer base. Gareth downloaded his years of experience in the web design space direct to me during our wide-ranging conversation. Not only did I learn some new slang, “techno babble” but I also learned about the key ingredients that strong and persuasive websites need to embed. The reality is that most businesses have and need a website. A website acts like a silent digital gateway for your business whether it be selling products or services. Your website is often the first impression that most people will have of your business, and we all know that first impressions are critical in all walks of life and business. A website needs to be kept up to date and project your brand in a compelling way with appropriate calls to action. When was the last time you looked at your website? Gareth really opened my eyes on the potential returns that await those who get it done right. If your website is little old and tired or your ‘bounce rate’ is too high and engagement is flagging, then give this episode a listen!
