Your Website Development Experts For Basingstoke

For expert website development in Basingstoke, you can trust Test Valley Digital. Our custom-coded websites are built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, allowing us to have complete control over every aspect of your site. By writing every line of code in-house, we ensure your website achieves 90+ scores on Google Pagespeed Insights, delivering exceptional performance and reliability.

Google Pagespeed Insights measures how well a website is developed, highlighting critical areas like load speed, accessibility, best practices, and search engine readability. For service-based businesses in Basingstoke, achieving high scores is essential for ranking on search engines and providing customers with a seamless and professional user experience. To get your website right, it’s crucial to consider:

Technologies - What tools and techniques are being used to develop your website? Are raw code, a CMS, or frameworks involved? Each choice impacts your website’s performance, flexibility, and scalability. Avoid systems that lock you into a one-size-fits-all solution.

Scripts and Plugins - How many additional scripts and plugins will your website rely on? These can slow your website down, reducing load speeds and potentially leading to fewer leads and conversions.

Security - Is your website built with data security in mind? Our static websites eliminate backend vulnerabilities, ensuring no customer data is stored on the website itself, keeping it secure from hackers.

Scalability - Does your developer have the flexibility to grow your website with your business? Whether it’s adding pages, integrating new features, or customising designs, a future-proof website should evolve as your business grows.

With Test Valley Digital, you’re not just getting a website, you’re investing in a high-performing, secure, and scalable solution tailored to your Basingstoke business. Don’t settle for shortcuts when it comes to website development. Choose a partner who understands your needs and delivers results.

SEO strategists in Basingstoke

Contrary to popular belief, SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) isn’t something you simply “turn on.” SEO is a strategic process, and we specialise in bringing it to small service-based businesses in Basingstoke. For local businesses, SEO comprises four key areas: On-Page SEO, Technical SEO, Off-Page SEO, and Local SEO. To rank higher on Google, it’s essential to excel in all four.

How to Optimise Your Website with a Winning SEO Strategy

On-Page SEO - Start by identifying the keywords your customers are searching for, such as “Basingstoke electrician” if you’re an electrician in the area. Then, craft compelling website copy that incorporates these keywords naturally and frequently.

Technical SEO - Speed is everything. Google prioritises websites that load within 2-3 seconds. By using custom-code, we build fast, mobile-friendly, secure websites that not only satisfy Google’s standards but also deliver an excellent experience for your visitors.

Off-Page SEO - Build trust with Google by earning backlinks. Backlinking involves getting your website featured on reputable sources like news articles, blogs, forums, and directories. The more quality backlinks your website earns, the higher it will rank in search engine results.

Local SEO - Visibility in your local community is crucial for businesses in Basingstoke. A well-optimised Google Business Profile, localised SEO pages (like this one), and a presence on Google Maps can drive more local customers to your website.

At Test Valley Digital, we’re here to help your Basingstoke business thrive with a comprehensive SEO strategy that covers all the bases, ensuring your website stands out and reaches the right audience.
