What every small business homepage needs
<p>I want to talk about something I get asked about more than almost anything else. And that is: why is my website not getting me any enquiries?</p><p><br></p><p>It is a fair question. You have got a website. It exists. People can find it, presumably. So why is nobody picking up the phone or filling in the contact form?</p><p><br></p><p>A lot of the time, when I actually look at the site, the answer is pretty obvious. And it usually starts on the homepage.</p><p><br></p><p>So today I want to walk through what a small business homepage actually needs to do. Not what it should look like. Not colours or fonts or any of that. What it needs to do. Because those are different things.</p><p><br></p><p>This is not a very long episode. I am going to keep it practical.</p><p><br></p><p>Hi, I’m Andrew Backhouse. My site is <a href="https://andrewbackhouse.design" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://andrewbackhouse.design</a> and in this episode of “A web designer in Harrogate did what?!”, I'm talking about the essentials every small business website needs on their homepage.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Andrew:</p><p><br></p><p>Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewadesigner/</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drewadesigner</p>

Your website is not your brochure
<p>Today we are talking about something I say to almost every client. Your website is not your brochure.</p><p><br></p><p>Hi, I’m Andrew Backhouse. My site is <a href="https://andrewbackhouse.design">https://andrewbackhouse.design</a> and in this episode of “A web designer in Harrogate did what?!”, I'm talking about why lots of small business websites work exactly like brochures - they look nice, they list the services, they have a phone number at the bottom.</p><p><br></p><p>And, then the owner wonders why nobody is getting in touch.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Andrew:</p><p><br></p><p>Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewadesigner/</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drewadesigner</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

Accessible design is for everyone
<p>Welcome to the eighth episode of "A web designer in Harrogate did what?!" Today I want to talk about something that affects every single person who uses a website, an app, or a phone. And yet, most people have never heard the term for it. It is called accessible design. And no - it is not just for disabled people</p><p>Before I go any further, I want to be clear about something, Making things accessible for disabled people is the right thing to do, full stop. But today I am focusing on something slightly different; I want to show you how design choices made for accessibility end up helping all of us every day, without us even noticing.</p><p>Hi, I’m Andrew Backhouse. My site is <a href="https://andrewbackhouse.design" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://andrewbackhouse.design</a> and in this episode of “A web designer in Harrogate did what?!”, I am exploring value based pricing; but, this approach isn't without difficulty. It takes confidence to quote a higher number and hold your ground. Some clients, especially smaller local businesses, are used to comparing hourly rates - and a fixed fee without a visible hourly breakdown can feel opaque to them.</p><p>Follow Andrew:</p><p>Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewadesigner/</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drewadesigner</p>
