Website design / UX
Your website is the most important brand awareness tool you have. Visitors use your website as a way to gauge your brand and to meet your brand - and they’ll be quick to leave if it doesn’t match their expectations. At Nimbler Digital, we understand this and we create industry-leading, bespoke websites that make your brand the best "first meeting" ever.
Our websites are about more than just a sleek design. They are created on the back of a careful planning process that takes into consideration your audience, their needs and SEO-friendly systems that bring more traffic to your site. We develop sites that underpin the entire value-proposition of your brand. From being found, to generating genuine sales leads.
Nimbler runs extensive user experience (UX) and marketing purpose workshops at the start of each project to make sure your design is ready for action.

Customer-centric websites
Customers have an amazing array of research tools at their disposal via the internet. Your website may be the centre of your universe but it won't necessarily be only thing they view when making purchase decisions.
Every business is different and each business should have a unique website strategy. Every strategy however should have the customer and their "customer journey" at its core. Some websites are information centres, designed to be found and be of assistance as customers search for solutions, others are two-touch e-commerce tools with speed and ease as the most important tool with which you "meet the customer's need". And others again will be trusted sources of news and value adding information.
All websites though, make an impression on users and this must be congruous with client reviews, social media discussion and even email communications from your business.
Today's lead generation and sales methodologies are tied into many business's website and their online marketing. The old version of a sales funnel - attracting visitors and leading them to a final transaction is only half the job today. With the internet giving customers ample opportunity to rate you, review you and relate their experiences, word-of-mouth has never been more important.
Adding immediate value to your visitors, contacts, leads AND customers when they visit is not even optional any more. Making all these people the focus of your website is imperative for growth you can measure.

Google ranking / SEO
Search engines rule the internet. Having effective search ranking on Google and other search engines through search engine optimization (SEO) is essential to get your site found and to build traffic.
More than 20% of people click on the first result in Google, which is almost twice as many as the second spot gets. Source
Google's algorithms are constantly changing and there are more than 200 factors that determine how results are ranked.
to increase your search engine rankings it is critical to get the website structure and then content and content systems correct. Targeting keywords (both long-tail and short-tail) is important when you’re writing your web copy however there is more to SEO success than just keywords. Relevance, mobile friendliness, user experience all play significant roles in an effective SEO strategy and this starts at website design and conception.
Nimbler Digital has a strong record in generating continual growth for our clients through growing website traffic and conversion. Modern search engine optimisation practices are a key part of this record.

Content strategy
Having a well-designed website means nothing if you don’t have strong content to keep people on your site. And maintain strong engagement with visitors once they arrive.
An old saying in digital marketing is that ‘content is king’, and that remains true today. Whether it’s regular blog posts, company videos or useful infographics, providing content that helps your customers is a win-win strategy.
Generally, people don’t stay on a website because it looks nice, they stay on a site because it has information related to them that they find useful. Add well thought-out UX that helps the user’s journey through your site and you’re on to a winner.
A good content strategy will maximize your site’s effectiveness at engagement and conversion of visitors to leads and customers. Using a range of techniques including Inboud Marketing, video marketing, gamification and more, Nimbler Digital develops custom strategies that make growing traffic, customers and turnover a measurable, adjustable tools for each client.

CMS
There are many Content Management Systems (CMSs) that help you create and maintain your website, some offer more functionality than others. A few of our preferred ones are SilverStripe, HubSpot and Magento.
When deciding what CMS to use, you must first scope carefully your needs, both present and future, to make ensure your choice is the right one. Do you need an online shop? Are you running a content or Inbound strategy? Will you need Pages to host live streaming? There are many reasons why the most ubiquitous CMS is not necessarily the right fit for your organisation.
Starting with the right CMS can make the difference between an ordinary site and a great one – or even one that doesn’t work at all. Choosing the wrong platform may damage your business or force you back into the process again, a lot earlier than you should be. A web development company that asks about your marketing, your audience and your business systems is just the start.
Nimbler Digital takes time to develop a professional scope that takes into account all of this and more. For more information about how we scope and plan for the correct CMS for your business, contact us with your questions.

Magento
Magento is an open source ecommerce technology platform that gives online merchants a flexible shopping cart system, as well as control over the look, content and functionality of their online shop. It offers powerful marketing, search engine optimization, and inventory management tools. Magento is one of the most effective ecommerce platforms available today, with editions ranging from community to large-scale enterprise based systems.
Nimbler Digital uses the Magento product for some of our ecommerce clients. Magento's ability to scale allows shops with only a few products to easily expand to thousands of products and complex custom behaviour. It offers a variety of plug-ins and themes which allows our clients to quickly and cost effectively enhance their customers experience.
Once up and running, Magento is designed to be operated by someone who isn't a developer and this is another reason we recommend it.
Integration
In the modern era your data is more than likely stored in several locations, not just your website. The purpose of most integrations is to bring information from an external source into your website and/or sending information from your website to an external source. This can be achieved by using web services and APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to facilitate communication between the two or more sources.
The goal of any integration is to allow your data to be used in systems that it was not collected from. By allowing your data to flow between your systems it will increase your website’s functionally by saving you time manually syncing data as the integration will do things automatically for you.
Nimbler has experience in integrating the following APIs into websites as well as many more: Google Analytics, Google Maps, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, Campaign Monitor, Micropower, Attaché, Salesforce, Pronto and HubSpot.
Social media
Social media is a great way to engage with people and a must-have digital strategy . Social media lets you connect with current and potential customers, share content to a wider audience and advertise to people who may not know about you yet.
Depending on your business, you may find greater success on just one or two platforms. Some of the most popular sites at the moment include Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Most social media sites allow integration of some sort. You can often display content from those accounts on your own website or you may be able to push blog posts directly to social media.
You can also include tracking codes (such as Facebook Pixel) that help you identify people who are interested in your company, so that you can better target your advertising.
Campaign Monitor
Campaign Monitor is an online email marketing application that enables organisations big and small to create, send, manage and track branded emails to growing lists of engaged customers and prospects.
It’s a simple simple and elegant email marketing software used by some of the biggest clients in the world. Companies such as BuzzFeed, Coca-Cola, Disney, and Rip Curl use Campaign Monitor to run email marketing campaigns that deliver results for their business.
Its most attractive feature is a very user friendly WYSIWYG editor allowing clients to custom design their emails to maximise engagement.
