What's in the Websites and Conversion category?
This category covers web design, landing pages, ecommerce and WordPress maintenance. Each article walks through one real decision, such as which fields belong on a quote form or how a product page should be laid out, for a business in Greater Montreal.
Who are these articles for?
They're written for local business owners who manage or oversee their own website and want to understand what actually affects the calls and quote requests it brings in, without needing to learn web development jargon along the way.
Do these articles replace a website design project with an agency?
No. They explain the principles behind a site that converts, but a design or redesign project needs a diagnosis specific to your business, your customers and your call goals. Our Website Design page describes what that work includes step by step.
What's the difference between a landing page and a full website?
A landing page targets one offer and one action, such as a free quote request, with no menu or exit links to distract the visitor. A full website presents your whole range of services, pages and navigation. The blog explains when to use each one.
