I thought it odd that my Denver BBB rep was trying to sell me services from who I later found out was the Booyah Agency.

This year, I didn’t get the pitch so I’m wondering if the BBB is still offering SEO services? Ideas, thoughts anyone?

This article will provide you as a small business owner with basic insight on determining if you should consider a SEO Consultant or a Denver SEO Services provider.

First, if you’re considering on hiring a SEO Consultant so you can perform SEO services on your own or have a member of your team you should first ask yourself this.

  • Does the person/s who will be doing my in-house SEO have a in-depth working technical understanding with web development languages? (HTML, CSS, PHP, LINUX, MYSQL etc…)
  • Does the person/s who will be performing my in-house SEO have enough time to dedicate to unique content creation and social media? (Blogging, Articles, Social Media)

SEO when not performed by someone who does it daily is a very time consuming task and in some cases requires even more in-depth technical understanding of web development technologies. If your business has a full-time web developer and someone who can be dedicated to a near full-time position that requires a lot of content creation (content is King) among other things then you might be in a good place to consider hiring a Denver SEO Consultant.

If not there are still affordable Denver SEO providers out there who can provide the expertise and knowledge to get your business to the next level!

First here are some random facts about SEO…

  • Letting your “SEO” provider throw a link back to their website to theirs doesn’t actually help you – nope, in reality it hurts your website and steels Googel Authority to boost your “SEO Providers,” rankings – Gross.
  • SEO is NOT SECRET and there isn’t really some secret society of secrecy a SEO must agree to before jumping into the SEO game. If your SEO claims they cannot tell you what they are doing because its a trade-secret or fail to provide you with any other type of in-depth report (not just Analytics or a Ranking Report) then they are probably up to no good.
  • Links + Links + Links = Better Rankings. Blogs, Articles, Social Media and other types of online media that links back to your website is all good. The more links you get and the higher quality of links you get will get you better rankings.

SEO Companies have a lot of different tactics. Some make up fake profiles on spammy forums, others take an article and spin it 100 different ways then submit the same article to 100 different websites (content farms), others build links manually & through partnerships an others buy links. There are countless ways to get links and drive up your rankings which is why you need to ask your SEO provider for a link report. Most SEOs do things the easy and reckless way and you should know what they are up to!

If that’s the case, I bet you will agree that it’s quite effortless to get hung up on the title of the job you happen to be seeking out. Let us take for instance, most of the time web design companies just like website designer Louisville, get requests from people who wished to become “web designers” or “web developers”.

The tricky part is that they may already be established to acquire a job in the industry of website design, yet for the reason that wouldn’t consider anything which doesn’t have the title “Web Designer”, they cannot or may find it difficult to get a job.

Seeing that there are a lot of jobs found in the web industry, a person simply would need to figure out how to look for them.

Here are several tricks to finding a great web jobs. The initial thing that you will need to examine is the job titles. Certainly, in the event that the word “web” is in the title then chances are it’s a web design or web development type job. But, you must know that there are other titles that might be web related and don’t sound like that. Listed here are the following examples:

• Graphic designer

• Layout artist

• Writer or copywriter

• Editor or copy editor

• Producer

• Information architect

• Program or product manager

• Digital developer

So that you can obtain a web design job, you must first of all take a look at the job title. When you find it has a “web” in the title in that case carry on. Nevertheless, if you discover it does not sound like anything of the previously mentioned job titles then continue also. And then, consider looking in the description of the job utilizing the word “Web” or “HTML” or another web technology you are knowledgeable about. In the event that it says that the job is to become a copy editor for an online presence in that case there’s a pretty good possibility that you will be doing work in the web industry.

Both Joomla and WordPress are established web design applications used by millions of websites across the world. Web Design Companies and web designers have in general supported various open source software for developing websites. Joomla and WordPress are two of the most popular ones and have established communities on the internet. There are hundreds of quality forums and blogs dedicated specifically towards the use of Joomla and WordPress for designing websites. Other web design and content management systems including Drupal and Typo3 have also proved popular and effective. However WordPress and Joomla seem to have an edge over the others in terms of global popularity and use.

Many web design agencies and design professionals are proficient with Joomla and WordPress and are able to customise the software to meet the specific needs of a business. Both these platforms offer the flexibility to extend the core features to meet individual requirements. This article offers an insight into which software is more suitable for developing your website.

WordPress versus Joomla

Usability

WordPress probably scores higher in terms of usability, both from an end user as well as developer’s point of view. Due to its simplicity WordPress is easy to learn and get acclimatised to. However this is also due to the fact that Joomla offers many more features than WordPress and offers more advanced functionality. The new version of Joomla, the 1.5x version has made significant improvements in usability.

SEOMOZ.org, a leading web design and technical blog recently published an article where the author stated that “if you are willing to trade some extra learning time for a more advanced site, go with Joomla.”

Versatility

WordPress is better described as a blog software whereas Joomla is an advanced content management system. WordPress is excellent for publishing content. Joomla on the other hand offers many powerful features. There are Joomla components that target almost every industry and market.

If you have limited time to set up a website or if your requirements are simple then WordPress is probably the better choice. However if you would like to develop or design an advanced website with powerful features then Joomla is more suitable.

Search Engine Optimisation

WordPress is known for its search engine optimisation advantages. By default WordPress is search engine friendly and webpages tend to rank high on Google. On the Joomla needs some customisation in order to target the full benefits from search engines. With the right customisation however, Joomla websites are equally capable of ranking high on search engines like Google. Any expert Joomla developer will design a website to be SEO friendly.

A Joomla websites can be customised a accordingly to overcome any SEO shortcomings.

Scalability

Joomla is easily scalable. Joomla can be used to design small websites as well for developing complex functionality on websites. WordPress is great out of the box and will work excellent if the only purpose of the website was to publish informational content. WordPress is great out of the box but limited somewhat for developing complicated web applications.

Joomla can be scaled as required. Almost any custom feature or application can be developed in Joomla. Joomla has been designed for extending and modifying to meet specific needs. WordPress is fairly limited. There are add-on features available for WordPress as well in the form of WordPress plug-ins but they do not compare to the advanced features that can be developed as add on Joomla modules or components.

Integration

Joomla has clear advantages with regards to extending and integrating the website with other third party applications of software. Joomla has a well formed and powerful API that developers can use to extend the software or integrate with other systems as required. Joomla websites can be easily integrated with other sources or websites.

Development of bespoke features

Joomla is the clear winner here. Customised development can be done in WordPress as well as Joomla. However Joomla’s development framework is more suitable for developing bespoke features for the website. There are many powerful add-on components that can be easily installed on a Joomla website.

Web designers and developers are able to develop additional customised features with ease using Joomla’s powerful development API. WordPress can also be easily extended however development API is not as powerful as Joomla’s.

Administration Features

WordPress has an easy to use, light weight administration panel. It is excellent if the main purpose of the website is solely to publish information. The administration panel is limited to updating or adding new content or media. Joomla has a powerful administration panel that offers a range of features such as e-commerce (Shopping cart), order management, enquiry management, User management, document management, multi-lingual content, etc. Joomla offers endless possibilities are and the administration panel is fully customisable for specific requirements.
