Ok, unlike most of the Ibiza-related search phrases, up until now we have never targeted the phrase Web Design Ibiza, primarily because we don’t do web design as such, and so thought we’d just leave that chart to those that do.
However, during the course of our work we obviously come across many different web designers and “web design companies” of one flavour or another, some that we cannot recommend highly enough, and, well… …the others.
We wrote about some experiences (ours and clients) with one such company, back in January, here SEO & Web Designers - compare and contrast ..For the purposes of this post we will label this collection our “LemonIbiza” group of companies.
So after another incredibly unprofessional display this week from a long established Spanish company based in Ibiza, we feel compelled to warn the public or anyone with an interest or currently in the market for a new website in Ibiza of the unbelievably bad behaviour of some of these companies.
This particular company actually just pulled the plug on a working business website this week leaving 404 error messages over an initially minor dispute. Unbelievable.
Anyway, from an SEO Point of view, we would now say we well placed to comment reasonably objectively on various aspects of the Island’s web designers, and of their relative and likely behaviours, both with regards to your site’s potential structural SEO “Friendliness” and as in how easily you may (or may not) find trying to have more work done on the site after the fact, by them or by someone else, if your web designer turns out to be SEO Clueless instead of SEO Friendly..
SEO is of course critical during the web design stage of a website and your business success with the site will depend on this.
We are able to advise you on how your chosen Ibiza web designer stacks up, both with the optimization of their own sites and of their client sites, and the liklihood of them successfully delivering you something that works in the search engines.
Plus, we have seen more than enough of these few to know exactly how they will be acting towards you once they’ve already had your money, few months or a year down the line, with LemonIbiza once paid, you are just a nuisance.
There are of course several very good web designers in Ibiza, but there are several companies and/or individuals that you should avoid at all costs.
Obviously we cannot publish names here but we would invite anyone thinking about having a new website built in Ibiza, by either English-speaking or Spanish speaking companies or individuals, please do fire us a quick email to check that you aren’t just signing up with one of these, as you will definitely end up sorry if you do.
We also would like to reiterate that we have no interest in getting your (web design) business in Ibiza, only in ensuring that you get a good web designer, who will do you right, and that in the event of us ever being retained for seo services on the site, that it’s not one of these “organisations” to whom we refer.
As well as the bad few we also have a list of excellent Ibiza web designers we know personally, or just know of, we compete with their client sites daily etc, who will be pleased to help you, rather than just help themselves to your money and not come up with the goods in the long term.
The LemonIbiza companies will attempt to dazzle you with techno-speak and a website with all the latest gimmicks, all singing, all dancing nonsense for thousands of Euros when often a free CMS based system would do a much better job for maybe a couple of hundred Euros.
They will offer you SEO services when they have not the first clue about SEO, and some don’t even have their own websites, pretending that they are “too busy to make their own” for several years…
We are happy to advise you on the suitability and likely business effectiveness / cost / value relationship of any website solution you’ve been offered or quoted for and of it’s potential SEO effectiveness in the long term.
This is a free service offered to businesses or individuals actively in the market for a new website, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us by phone or email to take advantage of this, we promise you’ll wish you had in a few months should you end up signing with one of organisations mentioned above.
