			<p data-start="872" data-end="1026">In 2026, having a website is no longer enough. The real question Ghanaian businesses must ask is: <strong data-start="970" data-end="1024">does your website work perfectly on mobile phones?</strong></p>
<p data-start="1028" data-end="1369">From Accra to Kumasi, Takoradi to Tamale, customers now discover businesses through Google search, social media links, WhatsApp shares, and online ads – almost entirely on their phones. If your website loads slowly, displays poorly on small screens, or frustrates visitors with broken layouts, you are losing real customers every single day.</p>
<p data-start="1371" data-end="1428">This is where <strong data-start="1385" data-end="1410">responsive web design</strong> becomes critical.</p>
<p data-start="1430" data-end="1807">Responsive web design ensures that your website automatically adjusts to look great and function properly on all devices – smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. In this guide, JobHouse Web Services (JWS) explains why responsive web design is essential for Ghanaian businesses in 2026, how it impacts growth, and what you should do if your website is not mobile-friendly.</p>
<hr data-start="1809" data-end="1812" />
<h2 data-start="1814" data-end="1847">What Is Responsive Web Design?</h2>
<p data-start="1849" data-end="2146">Responsive web design is a modern web development approach where a website adapts to different screen sizes and devices automatically. Instead of building separate websites for mobile and desktop, a responsive website uses flexible layouts, images, and styling rules to adjust content dynamically.</p>
<p data-start="2148" data-end="2159">This means:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="2162" data-end="2211">Text remains readable on phones without zooming</li>
<li data-start="2214" data-end="2239">Buttons are easy to tap</li>
<li data-start="2242" data-end="2266">Images resize properly</li>
<li data-start="2269" data-end="2318">Navigation menus work smoothly on small screens</li>
<li data-start="2321" data-end="2362">Pages load fast even on mobile networks</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="2364" data-end="2447">In simple terms, <strong data-start="2381" data-end="2447">responsive design makes your website user-friendly everywhere.</strong></p>
<hr data-start="2449" data-end="2452" />
<h2 data-start="2454" data-end="2506">Mobile Internet Use in Ghana: The Reality in 2026</h2>
<p data-start="2508" data-end="2809">Ghana is a mobile-first country. Most internet users access the web using smartphones rather than desktop computers. Affordable smartphones, mobile data bundles, and widespread use of social platforms like Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and WhatsApp have transformed how people interact with businesses.</p>
<p data-start="2811" data-end="2837">Today, Ghanaian consumers:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="2840" data-end="2884">Search for services on Google using phones</li>
<li data-start="2887" data-end="2936">Visit business websites from social media links</li>
<li data-start="2939" data-end="2965">Apply for jobs on mobile</li>
<li data-start="2968" data-end="3008">Contact companies via WhatsApp buttons</li>
<li data-start="3011" data-end="3048">Compare services on mobile browsers</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3050" data-end="3177">If your website is not optimized for mobile devices, you are effectively turning away the majority of your potential customers.</p>
<p data-start="3179" data-end="3242"><strong data-start="3179" data-end="3240">A non-responsive website in 2026 sends the wrong message:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li data-start="3245" data-end="3275">Your business looks outdated</li>
<li data-start="3278" data-end="3313">Your brand appears unprofessional</li>
<li data-start="3316" data-end="3347">Your service feels unreliable</li>
<li data-start="3350" data-end="3372">Customers lose trust</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3374" data-end="3551">In competitive industries like web design, recruitment, real estate, e-commerce, logistics, hospitality, and professional services, this perception can cost you serious revenue.</p>
<hr data-start="3553" data-end="3556" />
<h2 data-start="3558" data-end="3599">Why Google Prefers Responsive Websites</h2>
<p data-start="3601" data-end="3766">Google now uses <strong data-start="3617" data-end="3642">mobile-first indexing</strong>, which means Google primarily evaluates the mobile version of your website when deciding how to rank you in search results.</p>
<p data-start="3768" data-end="3784">If your website:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="3787" data-end="3813">Is hard to use on mobile</li>
<li data-start="3816" data-end="3830">Loads slowly</li>
<li data-start="3833" data-end="3863">Has hidden content on mobile</li>
<li data-start="3866" data-end="3898">Breaks layout on small screens</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3900" data-end="3970">Then your rankings suffer – even if your desktop site looks beautiful.</p>
<h3 data-start="3972" data-end="4013">SEO Benefits of Responsive Web Design</h3>
<p data-start="4015" data-end="4056">A responsive website helps your business:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="4059" data-end="4097">Rank higher in Google search results</li>
<li data-start="4100" data-end="4148">Reduce bounce rate (users don’t leave quickly)</li>
<li data-start="4151" data-end="4185">Increase time spent on your site</li>
<li data-start="4188" data-end="4215">Improve page speed scores</li>
<li data-start="4218" data-end="4248">Attract more organic traffic</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="4250" data-end="4309">For Ghanaian businesses competing in local searches like:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="4312" data-end="4343">“web design company in Accra”</li>
<li data-start="4346" data-end="4377">“recruitment agency in Ghana”</li>
<li data-start="4380" data-end="4412">“property management in Ghana”</li>
<li data-start="4415" data-end="4454">“digital marketing services in Ghana”</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="4456" data-end="4501">Responsive design is now a ranking advantage.</p>
<hr data-start="4503" data-end="4506" />
<h2 data-start="4508" data-end="4563">How Responsive Design Improves Sales and Conversions</h2>
<p data-start="4565" data-end="4713">A responsive website is not just about design. It directly affects how many people contact you, request a quote, book a service, or make a purchase.</p>
<h3 data-start="4715" data-end="4761">1. Better User Experience = More Enquiries</h3>
<p data-start="4763" data-end="4788">When visitors can easily:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="4791" data-end="4811">Read your services</li>
<li data-start="4814" data-end="4839">Click your phone number</li>
<li data-start="4842" data-end="4870">Fill out your contact form</li>
<li data-start="4873" data-end="4892">Use WhatsApp chat</li>
<li data-start="4895" data-end="4916">Navigate your pages</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="4918" data-end="4959">They are more likely to become customers.</p>
<p data-start="4961" data-end="4999">A poorly optimized mobile site causes:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="5002" data-end="5015">Frustration</li>
<li data-start="5018" data-end="5029">Confusion</li>
<li data-start="5032" data-end="5050">Abandoned visits</li>
<li data-start="5053" data-end="5075">Missed opportunities</li>
</ul>
<h3 data-start="5077" data-end="5109">2. Trust and Professionalism</h3>
<p data-start="5111" data-end="5338">First impressions matter. When your website looks modern, fast, and professional on mobile, customers trust your brand more. This is especially important in Ghana where many people judge business credibility by online presence.</p>
<p data-start="5340" data-end="5374">A responsive website communicates:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="5377" data-end="5390">Seriousness</li>
<li data-start="5393" data-end="5416">Professional branding</li>
<li data-start="5419" data-end="5432">Reliability</li>
<li data-start="5435" data-end="5454">Business maturity</li>
</ul>
<h3 data-start="5456" data-end="5501">3. Faster Load Speed = Higher Conversions</h3>
<p data-start="5503" data-end="5611">Mobile users are impatient. If your website takes more than a few seconds to load, many visitors will leave.</p>
<p data-start="5613" data-end="5670">Responsive design combined with performance optimization:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="5673" data-end="5694">Improves load speed</li>
<li data-start="5697" data-end="5717">Reduces data usage</li>
<li data-start="5720" data-end="5752">Enhances customer satisfaction</li>
<li data-start="5755" data-end="5782">Increases lead generation</li>
</ul>
<hr data-start="5784" data-end="5787" />
<h2 data-start="5789" data-end="5845">Common Problems with Non-Responsive Websites in Ghana</h2>
<p data-start="5847" data-end="5913">Many older websites used by Ghanaian businesses still suffer from:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="5917" data-end="5941">Text too small to read</li>
<li data-start="5944" data-end="5966">Horizontal scrolling</li>
<li data-start="5969" data-end="5995">Broken layouts on phones</li>
<li data-start="5998" data-end="6014">Slow page load</li>
<li data-start="6017" data-end="6043">Buttons too small to tap</li>
<li data-start="6046" data-end="6069">Menus that don’t open</li>
<li data-start="6072" data-end="6103">Images overflowing the screen</li>
<li data-start="6106" data-end="6135">Forms that are hard to fill</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="6137" data-end="6166">These issues cost businesses:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="6169" data-end="6181">Lost leads</li>
<li data-start="6184" data-end="6200">Low engagement</li>
<li data-start="6203" data-end="6222">Poor SEO rankings</li>
<li data-start="6225" data-end="6252">Negative brand perception</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="6254" data-end="6364">If your website was built years ago or was not designed mobile-first, it may already be hurting your business.</p>
<hr data-start="6366" data-end="6369" />
<h2 data-start="6371" data-end="6427">Responsive Web Design vs Mobile App: Which Is Better?</h2>
<p data-start="6429" data-end="6635">Some businesses ask whether they should invest in a mobile app instead of a responsive website. While mobile apps have specific use cases, a responsive website offers broader accessibility and SEO benefits.</p>
<h3 data-start="6637" data-end="6697">Why Responsive Websites Win for Most Ghanaian Businesses</h3>
<ul>
<li data-start="6701" data-end="6746">Accessible to everyone without installation</li>
<li data-start="6749" data-end="6769">Easier to maintain</li>
<li data-start="6772" data-end="6789">More affordable</li>
<li data-start="6792" data-end="6806">SEO-friendly</li>
<li data-start="6809" data-end="6835">Works across all devices</li>
<li data-start="6838" data-end="6863">Easy to share via links</li>
<li data-start="6866" data-end="6907">Ideal for marketing and lead generation</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="6909" data-end="7004">For most businesses in Ghana, a strong responsive website is the foundation of digital success.</p>
<hr data-start="7006" data-end="7009" />

<hr data-start="8020" data-end="8023" />
<h2 data-start="8025" data-end="8073">How to Know If Your Website Is Not Responsive</h2>
<p data-start="8075" data-end="8104">Ask yourself these questions:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="8108" data-end="8148">Does my website look good on my phone?</li>
<li data-start="8151" data-end="8190">Is the text readable without zooming?</li>
<li data-start="8193" data-end="8222">Can I click buttons easily?</li>
<li data-start="8225" data-end="8256">Does the menu work on mobile?</li>
<li data-start="8259" data-end="8294">Does it load fast on mobile data?</li>
<li data-start="8297" data-end="8337">Do customers complain about usability?</li>
<li data-start="8340" data-end="8365">Is my bounce rate high?</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="8367" data-end="8452">If the answer to any of these is no, your website likely needs a responsive redesign.</p>
<hr data-start="8454" data-end="8457" />
<h2 data-start="8459" data-end="8517">The Business Cost of Ignoring Responsive Design in 2026</h2>
<p data-start="8519" data-end="8568">Failing to invest in responsive web design means:</p>
<p data-start="8572" data-end="8595">Lower Google rankings</p>
<p data-start="8598" data-end="8615">Reduced traffic</p>
<p data-start="8618" data-end="8644">Poor customer experience</p>
<p data-start="8647" data-end="8661">Missed leads</p>
<p data-start="8664" data-end="8691">Reduced brand credibility</p>
<p data-start="8694" data-end="8722">Falling behind competitors</p>
<p data-start="8724" data-end="8838">As more Ghanaian businesses upgrade their digital presence, those with outdated websites will struggle to compete.</p>
<hr data-start="8840" data-end="8843" />
<h2 data-start="8845" data-end="8900">Case Scenario: Two Ghanaian Businesses, Two Outcomes</h2>
<p data-start="8902" data-end="8952"><strong data-start="8902" data-end="8916">Business A</strong><br data-start="8916" data-end="8919" />Has a modern responsive website</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="8955" data-end="8967">Loads fast</li>
<li data-start="8970" data-end="9000">Looks professional on phones</li>
<li data-start="9003" data-end="9022">Has WhatsApp chat</li>
<li data-start="9025" data-end="9047">Ranks well on Google</li>
<li data-start="9050" data-end="9074">Gets regular enquiries</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="9076" data-end="9130"><strong data-start="9076" data-end="9090">Business B</strong><br data-start="9090" data-end="9093" />Has an outdated non-responsive site</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="9133" data-end="9161">Hard to navigate on mobile</li>
<li data-start="9164" data-end="9186">Looks unprofessional</li>
<li data-start="9189" data-end="9203">Slow loading</li>
<li data-start="9206" data-end="9227">Low Google rankings</li>
<li data-start="9230" data-end="9252">Few online enquiries</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="9254" data-end="9356">Over time, Business A dominates online visibility and sales, while Business B loses customers quietly.</p>
<hr data-start="9358" data-end="9361" />
<h2 data-start="9363" data-end="9418">How to Get Started with Responsive Web Design at JWS</h2>
<p data-start="9420" data-end="9504">If your website is outdated or not mobile-friendly, the best time to upgrade is now.</p>

<hr data-start="9825" data-end="9828" />
<h2 data-start="9830" data-end="9888">Final Thoughts: Your Website Is Your Digital Front Desk</h2>
<p data-start="9890" data-end="10067">In 2026, your website is often the first interaction customers have with your business. If that experience is poor on mobile, you lose trust before the conversation even begins.</p>
<p data-start="10069" data-end="10143">Responsive web design is no longer optional. It is a business requirement.</p>
<p data-start="10145" data-end="10174">If you want your business to:</p>
<ul>
<li data-start="10177" data-end="10200">Rank better on Google</li>
<li data-start="10203" data-end="10227">Attract more customers</li>
<li data-start="10230" data-end="10249">Look professional</li>

</ul>
<p data-start="10331" data-end="10417">Then investing in responsive web design is one of the smartest decisions you can make.</p>

<p><br><br>Are you planning to hire an SEO Agency to bring your website on the first page of google search? Before you hire an SEO Agency to do a detailed background check on the Agency to decide if they are the right choice for the crowd. Let&#8217;s look into the factors that you need to consider before you hire an agency.</p>



<p><br>Do a detailed case study</p>



<p>The first step is to research why your website is having low ranks on search results. Ask the agency to perform a full SEO audit of your website and find the reason that is not allowing your website to top the ranking charts. This gives a clear understanding of your website ranking and tracks your progress.</p>



<p>Ask For A Work Plan</p>



<p>Once the company gives you a detailed case study, ask them to come up with a work plan that includes a suitable strategy and briefs you every step needed to be taken. The work plan will help you access their calibre to bring your website up to the ranking page. They will be transparent throughout the steps they take to boost your website ranking. Make sure the company is clear with the transparency policy, because if they have taken steps hidden from you, it may affect your website.</p>



<p>Are They Following Search Engine Guidelines?</p>



<p>There are some SEO services which crater sloppy works. But Search Engine keeps on evolving and has learned to block sloppy SEO websites. So it is mandatory to follow the latest search engine guidelines for webmasters to keep your website blocked due to spamming and you end up paying penalty to the search engine which is a major loss for you.</p>



<p>Website changes</p>



<p>For an SEO strategy to work properly, the website needs to undergo a lot of changes in its design, content, navigation etc. Before you hand over your website to an SEO company make sure that they have the experts who can make the correct changes. Else it would be the biggest blunder you and suffer huge losses.<br><br>Are they capable to make on-page changes?</p>



<p>The most important factor in SEO strategy is content. Consult with the SEO about the content changes that need to be made. Ask them if they are going to use existing content or provide you with old content. If they are going to include new content, then make sure they have the resources to provide quality content.</p>



<p>Hire an agency with local SEO experience</p>



<p>Google always shows local stores and business when people search for a related keyword. So it&#8217;s important to hire an SEO agency that is well experienced with local SEO services to ensure that your website shows up in local searches when potential audience search for products and services related to your website. Building organic traffic for a website is time consuming and uncertain process. So it&#8217;s important to hire a well-experienced SEO agency like <a href="https://jobhouse.com.gh/ghana-web-design-company/">JobHouse</a> to do the work for you.</p>



<p>What is the success parameter?</p>



<p>Though your website may have a good ranking, you don&#8217;t need to get high traffic. Using google analytics help you keep track of the traffic and ranking of your website for different search engines. so use the right parameter to get a good ranking along with good traffic for your website and also get potential customers.</p>



<p>Price is a very important factor. Always remember you would never want to spend more money on SEO than your earning. So always go for multiple quotes from different SEO agencies before you choose from one</p>



<p>Make sure you have the sole ownership of the contents and links generated for your website by the SEO agency. Make sure to draft a detailed agreement that lists out all the conditions of both the parties to avoid future problems.</p>



<p>What factors do you need to consider before hiring an SEO Agency?SEO is not magic that can simply boost your ranking and traffic just with wand work. Runaway from agencies that promise No 1 ranking within a short time. SEO is a long process and it&#8217;s time-consuming. So make sure to hire a realistic and best company.</p>

<p>A closer look at the SEO trends for 2018. Even though most brands continuously work on optimising their Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), it seems as if the ever-changing requirements of SEO is always out of reach. From algorithm updates to new technologies, the moment you adhere to the current requirements it seems as though a new update is published and the requirements change. Despite these challenges, SEO is here to stay.</p>
<p>At JobHouse Web Services, we’ve seen the importance and benefits of implementing good SEO practices – time and time again. This is why we’ve compiled a blog about some of the key predicted SEO trends for 2018 so that our clients and followers can be a step ahead of their competition for the year.</p>
<p><strong>A step ahead with SEO<br />
</strong><br />
There are various industry movements that will influence SEO this year, but here are the key trends we think will have the biggest influence on your website:</p>
<p><u>Searching isn’t just text anymore</u><br />
We’ve seen that our online interactions are becoming a lot more visual. With technology giving us access to faster Internet speeds, finding, viewing and interacting with video and images are definitely growing in popularity. This is likely to lead search engines to treat videos and images with more importance when it comes to SEO.</p>
<p><strong>Related Article: <a href="https://jobhouse.com.gh/ghana-web-design-company/7-benefits-using-facebook-business-promotion/" target="_blank">7 benefits of using Facebook for business promotion</a></strong></p>
<p><strong><u>Keeping user-experience at the forefront</u></strong><br />
Today’s consumer has more expectations from companies in terms of businesses delivering an excellent online experience. It doesn’t just count for mobile applications or websites, but also for online searches.</p>
<p>Studies have shown that faster loading times can decrease your bounce rate and might even increase your conversion rates. This means that something as simple as your website loading time can cost you potential customers. From an SEO perspective, loading times and good website usability may also help to increase your website’s SEO.</p>
<p>Google’s previous algorithm updates placed a big emphasis on mobile usability for good SEO rankings. By further optimising your website for mobile and carefully considering user experience could be an effective way to increase your SEO in 2018.</p>
<p><u><strong>Revel in relevance</strong><br />
</u>When it comes to getting great SEO results, it’s crucial to show search engines that your content is relevant to the searcher. Google assesses the content by looking at the millions of pages out there and the terms used in them. Google then learns which terms are related and builds expectations for the terms that are likely to appear in a given context. This helps Google decide whether a piece of content is ‘comprehensive’.</p>
<p><u><strong>Content is still king</strong><br />
</u>While it might seem like nothing has changed regarding content, it’s still very relevant for a valid reason. Even though Google’s algorithms constantly keep changing and improving, Google still always looks at the content quality for SEO purposes.</p>
<p>In 2018, the quality demanded for content might increase even more as the algorithms are continually learning. Therefore, it’s imperative that your online content should constantly aim to offer the best about the topic at hand.</p>
<p><strong>SEO success is a click away</strong></p>
<p>Whether you are an SEO savant or a newbie to optimising your online presence, JobHouse Web Services can assist your business by taking it to the next level.</p>

<p><strong>Good SEO for a website starts with the web design company understanding your business, your industry and your customers</strong>. From there developing an effecting SEO strategy is very elementary. Many web SEO companies want you to believe it is “rocket science” to get great rankings or to get you to top of page one on the search engines. Based on your available time either you or someone you trust can begin to add consistent and quality content about your industry.</p>
<p>At this time only 65% of the US participate in social networks. Some rely on it solely as a mechanism for marketing or branding their product or service. Hurray for them!, but you can only go so far with social networking without a website. Creating your own website will allow the visitors to understand more about you. When they look at a website and read content or view products on your website they are making conscious decisions about you, your brand and your service. A good well thought website – even it is basic is one of the best investments you can make in marketing yourself. It also provides you with a platform to add SEO content and begin to appeal to the hundreds of thousands of visitors searching for your service. Keep in mind even if you are local the person searching for you may not be.</p>
<p>In closing, Add Content, Add Content, Add Content. Not only will it help you establish your branding, but when you take the time to write about an aspect of your business it can help your re-think, focus and share important information that can help your team and others.</p>

<p><strong>Impact of internet search engine positioning on Product sales</strong></p>
<p>Approximately between 70% and 90% of online consumers use search engines to locate a specific service or product. We will look at the factors influencing sales to understand that both a search engine placement campaign can increase your income.</p>
<p>There are 3 parameters that people will use to graph online sales: average sales value, change factor (CR) and the amount of website traffic:</p>
<p>Average sales value is the amount of money a client spends in a typical transaction. The area of computing and consumer electronics has higher average sales values compared to a bookstore.<br />
Website traffic is measured by the quantity of visits and web page views or impressions every visitor, typically expressed by the number of web page views per month.<br />
Transformation factor (CR) is the number of sales divided by the number of sales divided by the number of views monthly, expressed as a ratio.<br />
Keep in head that positioning yourself in the major search engines will bring about an increase in measurable traffic only if there is a market considering your products / services and if your website appears within the first ten search results.</p>
<p>However, search engine optimisation will not produce any big results if there is very little with view to your products as well as services. Position # one particular on the results web page are not very helpful if only two people a month are looking for “your keyword”.</p>
<p>To get started with, we must improve our website and content. Through a good selection of keywords, optimize our content with Onpage SEO and then OffPage SEO (linkbuilding).</p>
<p><strong>Importance of keywords in search engine rankings</strong></p>
<p>Keywords are “words or phrases” that folks use to locate information through a search engine like Google. Search motors examine the content of the page to determine when a specific page is relevant to a particular keyword. It is because of this that a good selection of keywords is root for positioning in search engines.</p>
<p>Each keyword is characterized by an offer (number of pages that results in the search engine) and demand (number of searches). The best way to improve search engine rankings is to choose keywords which may have the following bid-demand features: keywords with popular and low put money (or competition). It is more difficult to increase the positioning of a site if your keyword has a high competition.</p>
<p>A good keyword must be relevant to your line of products / services and also keep relation with your business. This way your conversions will be the best, and you should have a low rebound percentage.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>It is important to know how to interpret your website data to draw conclusions and make adjustments to improve your SEO strategy. To help you with this step, let’s review possible trends and what they really tell you about your SEO performance: Fluctuations All of your SEO metrics will fluctuate from time to time.  You will see natural fluctuations in the number of indexed pages, inbound links and positions of your keywords. It’s normal as search engines re-crawl websites, update their indexes, add and remove web pages, change their algorithms, etc. Minor fluctuations shouldn’t be grounds for concern unless a clear, negative trend prevails, and fluctuations are accompanied by drops in referral traffic to the website. Negative Trends If you notice a significant drop in traffic referrals from a certain search engine and the results are consistent over time (don’t bounce back within a month), it could mean one of the following: The search engine has updated their ranking algorithm, and the update is not in your website’s favor. This most often occurs when search engines devalue links pointing to your website. Research what SEO experts have determined about the most recent update to learn how you may have been affected by it and what action to take. Your competition may have seriously overtaken your positions. Check to see how you rank compares to them. Your website has suffered a penalty for violating the search engine’s guidelines. Check the Webmaster tools for any warnings or notices. You might have accidentally blocked access to a search engine’s crawler. See “Review Technical SEO” in the next section for more details.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is important to know how to interpret your website data to draw conclusions and make adjustments to improve your <a href="https://jobhouse.com.gh/ghana-web-design-company/#" target="_blank">SEO</a> strategy. To help you with this step, let’s review possible trends and what they really tell you about your SEO performance:</p>
<h2>Fluctuations</h2>
<p>All of your SEO metrics will fluctuate from time to time.  You will see natural fluctuations in the number of indexed pages, inbound links and positions of your keywords. It’s normal as search engines re-crawl websites, update their indexes, add and remove web pages, change their algorithms, etc. Minor fluctuations shouldn’t be grounds for concern unless a clear, negative trend prevails, and fluctuations are accompanied by drops in referral traffic to the website.</p>
<p><a href="https://jobhouse.com.gh/ghana-web-design-company/" target="_blank"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-22150 size-full" title="It's normal to see some fluctuation in your SEO metrics as search engines re-crawl websites (1)" src="http://www.intechnic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Its-normal-to-see-some-fluctuation-in-your-SEO-metrics-as-search-engines-re-crawl-websites-1.png" alt="It's normal to see some fluctuation in your SEO metrics as search engines re-crawl websites (1)" width="1024" height="512" /></a></p>
<h2>Negative Trends</h2>
<p>If you notice a significant drop in traffic referrals from a certain search engine and the results are consistent over time (don’t bounce back within a month), it could mean one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>The search engine has updated their ranking algorithm, and the update is not in your <a href="https://jobhouse.com.gh/ghana-web-design-company/" target="_blank">website’s</a> favor. This most often occurs when search engines devalue links pointing to your website. Research what SEO experts have determined about the most recent update to learn how you may have been affected by it and what action to take.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Your competition may have seriously overtaken your positions. Check to see how you rank compares to them.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Your website has suffered a penalty for violating the search engine’s guidelines. Check the Webmaster tools for any warnings or notices.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>You might have accidentally blocked access to a search engine’s crawler. See “Review Technical SEO” in the next section for more details.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://jobhouse.com.gh/ghana-web-design-company/" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-22148 size-full" title="An update in a search engine's ranking algorithm can lead to a significant drop in traffic" src="http://www.intechnic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/An-update-in-a-search-engines-ranking-algorithm-can-lead-to-a-significant-drop-in-traffic.png" alt="An update in a search engine's ranking algorithm can lead to a significant drop in traffic" width="1024" height="512" /></a></p>
<h2>Positive Trends</h2>
<p>SEO is considered successful when positive trends outweigh negative trends (in other words, when your website’s positions and SEO traffic increases over time). This process is slow. As previously covered, it is unrealistic to expect instant and great SEO results. In fact, I’ve only experienced it once when Panda penalized a large share of our competition. We gained positions literally overnight. However, this was the result of our competitor’s use of black-hat techniques and not due to our strategy.</p>
<p><a href="https://jobhouse.com.gh/ghana-web-design-company/" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-22149 size-full" title="SEO is considered successful when your website's positions and SEO traffic increases over time" src="http://www.intechnic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/SEO-is-considered-successful-when-your-websites-positions-and-SEO-traffic-increases-over-time.png" alt="SEO is considered successful when your website's positions and SEO traffic increases over time" width="1024" height="512" /></a></p>
<p>SEO is always a long-term strategy. Be patient, create quality content and apply practices described in this chapter and you will be successful.</p>

<p>However, when it comes to designing and developing a website, most of those same small business owners think they can’t have all the bells and whistles that larger businesses have. But that’s not true. Why? Meet WordPress.</p>
<p>WordPress is a free platform that powers the back end of your website. It’s commonly referred to as a “content management system” because of its ability to let you easily create and organize all of the pages and media you upload to your site.</p>
<p>Interested in learning why it’s the best option for your small business’ website? Keep reading . . .</p>
<h3>1. You’ll be able to start using your website as a blog.</h3>
<p>If you’re using a separate website to host your blog or, worse, have no blog at all (at least yet), switching your site over to WordPress will quickly solve that problem. Not only is the software incredibly easy to operate (adding new pages/posts literally takes seconds), but it’s the perfect platform for blogging about your small business.</p>
<p>Simply set up a page on your site dedicated to your blog (just call it “blog” or some catchy name that plays off your brand). Then you can start adding posts to that page. A blog is your easiest and most effective way to continuously add new content to your site and keep customers up-to-date with your business.</p>
<h3>2. WordPress constantly updates itself for safety and security.</h3>
<p>Instant updates mean you can be confident your website’s security is always up to date and aligned with the best, most current policies. While some other content management systems might require you to manually check for updates or may be slack on performing maintenance, WordPress does the work for you.</p>
<p>You can sleep soundly knowing that your site will automatically update, and knowing, too, that WordPress will keep working to better its system and make things more secure for users and visitors.</p>
<p><strong>3. WordPress is open source.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Open source&#8221; simply means that developers are able to contribute to WordPress’ software in the form of plugins, themes and updates. How does that benefit you? The system is constantly improving and getting better, and a new addition doesn’t cost you a cent. You can reap all the benefits of these improvements without paying for them.</p>
<p>Related: With Open-Source Software, You Don&#8217;t Have to Start From Scratch</p>
<h3><strong>4. WordPress is SEO friendly.</strong></h3>
<p>SEO, or search engine optimization, refers to the idea of making your website more searchable by engines like Google and Yahoo. While mastering <a href="http://indigensafrique.com/search-engine-optimization-service/">SEO</a> can take some investment of time WordPress offers ways for business owners to optimize their site in the easiest ways possible. Check out the free Yoast SEO plugin, which shows you step-by-step how your content ranks and where there’s room to improve.</p>
<h3>5. WordPress is no newbie.</h3>
<p>This CMS is swimming in familiar water. It’s been around for more than ten years so it’s safe to say it’s a sure thing. While WordPress (like any CMS) isn’t perfect, it’s pretty much problem-free. Over the years, its engineers have had time to work out those little kinks and improve, aging the system into a timeless CMS that all levels of web developers have come to love.</p>
<h3>6. Coding for WordPress is standard for any web developer.</h3>
<p>A lot of small business owners hire a web developer who then builds a complicated website that no one else can manage. That’s all well and good if you never need to change your website again &#8212; but that’s rare.</p>
<p>One of the reasons WordPress is so great is that it’s become such a popular choice any <a href="http://indigensafrique.com/web-design-company-in-ghana/">web developer</a> knows how to code for it. Whenever a problem pops up that you can’t fix, or you decide to redesign your website&#8217;s look, any developer will be able to get the job done.</p>
<h3>7. Having a WordPress website puts you in good company.</h3>
<p>Yes, WordPress is “every guy’s CMS.” That being said, its capabilities extend far beyond the basic ones; and some of the biggest companies in the world use WordPress to power their sites. How big is “big”? The<em>New York Time</em>s, <em>Mashable</em>, <em>TechCrunch</em>, and <em>Inc.</em> (to name a few).</p>
<p>WordPress is great for small businesses because it has everything you need to create a visually pleasing, fully functional, scalable website, and it also offers endless possibilities if your business or budget grows down the road.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>How To Speed Up Your WordPress Website</h2>
<p>How to speed up WordPress site surely is a hot topic these days. Fortunately, there are numerous techniques that you can employ to get the job done. So, our intent here is to list every trick we know of that can make your WordPress site a lot faster.</p>
<p><em>But first…</em></p>
<h2>Why should you speed up WordPress Website?</h2>
<p>There are many reasons that ring alarm bells, some of which might even cause major concerns for you:<span id="more-4391"></span></p>
<ol>
<li>For <a href="http://indigensafrique.com/search-engine-optimization-service/">Search Engine Optimization</a>. Search engines (like Google) rank websites with fast-loading times higher than the slow-loading ones. So, if you want to improve your position in the SERPs, improving speed should be one of your priorities.</li>
<li>Studies have shown that site-loading speed of more than 2 seconds usually results in about 47 percent of visitors bouncing off the website. So, to keep about half of your visitors interested, you should speed up your WordPress website.</li>
<li>Online buyers are the most impatient lot; they expect the page to load within a second. So, if you are running an e-commerce store on WordPress then you better get ready to make major improvements so your business can be more profitable.</li>
</ol>
<h2>How to test the loading time of your website?</h2>
<p>First things first, you need to analyze the current load time for your website. Keep in mind that this speed may differ from page to page, as it depends on various factors, namely:</p>
<ul>
<li>the size of that particular page,</li>
<li>how many requests it generates,</li>
<li>whether it is cached or not,</li>
<li>and lastly, what kind of content (static or dynamic) it hosts.</li>
</ul>
<p>The homepage of a website is usually used as a benchmark to test the load time. In order to check the speed of a website, the following three tools are used extensively across the web:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://www.webpagetest.org/">WebPageTest.org</a></li>
<li><a href="http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/">Tools.Pingdom.com</a></li>
<li><a href="https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/">PageSpeed Insights</a> (this doesn’t really report the page loading time, but does highlight the elements that you can tweak to speed up WordPress)</li>
</ol>
<p><em>Okay, it’s about time to start talking some business! Here are the 11 ways to speed up WordPress:</em></p>
<h2>1. Choose a better web hosting provider</h2>
<p>The major factor that influences the speed of a website is the hosting of your WordPress website. It might seem like a good idea to host your new website on a shared hosting provider that offers “unlimited” bandwidth, space, emails, domains and more. However, the point that we usually miss out on regarding this offer is that shared hosting environments fail to deliver good loading times on peak traffic hours, and most fail to provide 99 percent uptime in any given month.</p>
<p>Shared hosting tends to deliver a poorer performance because you are sharing the same server space with countless other websites, and there is no telling how much resources others are using. Plus, you don’t know exactly how well the servers are optimized.</p>
<p>Thankfully, the web-hosting industry has advanced with technology, and the prices of cloud hosting providers have decreased with the passage of time. In the present times, you can buy dedicated cloud servers from SiteGround, DigitalOcean, Amazon Web Services, and even Google Compute Engine at a nominal price. However, setting those servers up can be a daunting task as you are required to set servers up from scratch. There are web hosting providers like Cloudways who make the task of setting up optimized cloud servers as easy as click and launch.</p>
<h2>2. Use a lightweight WordPress theme / framework</h2>
<p>WordPress themes with a lot of dynamic elements, sliders, widgets, social icons and many more shiny elements are immensely appealing to the eye. But remember this: if they have too many elements and higher page sizes, then they will definitely cause your web server to take a thumping.</p>
<p>The best option here is to use lightweight themes, like WordPress’ default themes.The new Twenty Fifteen theme is always a good way to start off a blog. For a feature-rich website, you can also opt for a theme that uses a good framework like Bootstrap or Foundation. For instance, all themes at ThemeIsle are built on top of Bootstrap, which provides a great way to speed up WordPress.</p>
<h2>3. Reduce image sizes</h2>
<p>Images are the major contributors to size increment of a given webpage. The trick is to reduce the size of the images without compromising on the quality.</p>
<p>If you manually optimize the images using Chrome PageSpeed Insights extension or Photoshop or any other tools, the process will take a long time. Fortunately, there are plugins available for just about everything you can think of, including image optimization. The ones worth mentioning are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/">WP Smush</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/">EWWW Image Optimizer</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Using any of the above mentioned plugins on your WordPress site will drastically reduce image sizes, thus improving the speed of your website.</p>
<h2>4. Minify JS and CSS files</h2>
<p>If you run your website through Google PageSpeed Insights tool, you will probably be notified about minimizing the size of your CSS and JS files. What this means is that by reducing the number of CSS and JS calls and the size of those files, you can improve the site-loading speed.</p>
<p>Also, if you know your way around WordPress themes, you can study the guides <a href="https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/MinifyResources">provided by Google</a> and do some manual fixing. If not, then there are plugins that will help you achieve this goal; the most popular being the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/">Autoptimize</a> that can help in optimizing CSS, JS and even HTML of your WordPress website.</p>
<h2>5. Use advanced caching mechanisms with a caching plugin</h2>
<p>WordPress caching plugins (e.g. W3 Total Cache) have been there for a long time, making the complex tasks of adding caching rules to your website elements easier. Combining such plug-ins with advanced caching mechanisms like Varnish could help you better the loading-speed of your website and ultimately speed up WordPress considerably.</p>
<h2>6. Use a CDN</h2>
<p>The people who visit your website belong to various locations in the world, and needless to say, the site-loading speed will differ if the visitors are located far away from where your site is hosted. There are many CDN (Content Delivery Networks) that help in keeping the site-loading speed to a minimum for visitors from various countries. A CDN keeps a copy of your website in various datacenters located in different places. The primary function of a CDN is to serve the webpage to a visitor from the nearest possible location. Cloudflare and MaxCDN are among the most popular CDN services.</p>
<h2>7. Enable GZIP compression</h2>
<p>Compressing files on your local computer can save a lot of disk space. Similarly, for the web, we can use GZIP compression. This maneuver will dramatically reduce the bandwidth usage and the time it takes to gain access to your website. GZIP compresses various files so that whenever a visitor tries to access your website; their browser will first have to unzip the website. This process brings down the bandwidth usage to a considerable extent.</p>
<p>You can use either a plugin like the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/gzip-ninja-speed-compression/">GZip Ninja Speed Optimization</a> or add the following codes in your .htaccess file.</p>
<pre><code>AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript</code></pre>
<h2>8. Cleanup WordPress database</h2>
<p>Deleting unwanted data from your database will keep its size to a minimum and also helps in reducing the size of your backups. It is also necessary to delete spam comments, fake users, old drafts of your content and maybe even unwanted plugins as well as themes. All of this will reduce the size of your databases and web files, and thus speed up WordPress – your WordPress.</p>
<h2>9. Deactivate or uninstall plugins</h2>
<p>Keeping unwanted plugins on your WordPress websites will add a tremendous amount of junk to your web files. Moreover, it will also increase the size of your backup and put an overwhelming amount of load on your server resources while backup files are being generated. It is better to get rid of the plugins that you don’t use, and also look for alternate methods to use third-party services for automating or scheduling tasks (like sharing of your latest posts to social media).</p>
<p>IFTTT or Zapier are two web services that help in automating such tasks and reduce the burden on your website and server resources.</p>
<h2>10. Keep external scripts to a minimum</h2>
<p>The usage of external scripts on your web pages adds a big chunk of data to your total loading time. Thus, it is best to use a low number of scripts, including only the essentials such as tracking tools (like Google Analytics) or commenting systems (like Disqus).</p>
<h2>11. Disable pingbacks and trackbacks</h2>
<p>Pingbacks and trackbacks are two core WordPress components that alert you whenever your blog or page receives a link. It might sound useful, but you also have things such as Google Webmaster Tools and other services to check the links of your website.</p>
<p>Keeping pingbacks and trackbacks on can also put an undesirable amount of strain on your server resources. This is so because whenever anyone tries to link up to your site, it generates requests from WordPress back and forth. This functionality is also widely abused when targeting a website with DDoS attacks.</p>
<p>You can turn it all off in <em>WP-Admin -&gt; Settings -&gt; Discussion</em>. Just deselect “<em>Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks).</em>” This will help you speed up WordPress some more.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>The biggest advantage of lowering your website’s loading time is that it will help tremendously in improving the experience of your visitors. The case remains the same whether they are using mobile devices or PCs. Furthermore, it will also improve your rankings in the SERPs. After all, reduced bandwidth usage of your hosting and faster site-loading speed on the client side will only benefit you both in the short as well as the long run.</p>
