Web Design and Marketing in the Heart of Yorkshire

The University of Leeds is one of the most reputable universities in the UK and is home to over 30,000 students. With many of these students studying information technology and design courses,  It's no wonder that Leeds has become a hotbed for design and technology, not only in West Yorkshire, but throughout the UK.

Twenty years ago nobody could have envisaged how the internet would be so prominent in our lives and even five years ago we had no idea how quickly the concept of social networking would take off. Today it's common place for companies to not only have a presence on the internet in the form of a website, but to make themselves known in the social circles of online networking too.

The speed at which web designers and developers have to keep up with seemingly daily changes in online trends is mind boggling, but in order to stay ahead of the game, Leeds web design companies have fared impeccably well in spite of numerous golden eggs turning out to be red herrings.

Does anybody remember the concept of MySpace Marketing? I thought not. With the popularity of MySpace Music, businesses decided to get in on the act to promote products and services on the popular networking website, but nothing came of it. One could be forgiven for scoffing at the newer concept of Facebook Marketing, but unlike MySpace Marketing, Facebook Marketing leeds to a much more professional form of promoting your business within these new social circles.

Many companies offering web design in Leeds have the creative skills and know how to build the ideal website, but unless the initial web design leeds to a more holistic marketing approach, taking advantage of new trends such as Facebook Marketing leeds to higher returns and more potential sales.

It is with this in mind that some Leeds web design companies are keeping themselves ahead of the game by drawing from their experiences at the university of Leeds. Web design is more than simply creating a website which is pleasing to the eye and easy to use, as this needs to be tied in with a pro-active marketing strategy which encompasses everything the internet has to offer, including social networking. When done properly, a good web design leeds to increased traffic, increased sales and increased profits.

It is for this and many other reasons that companies from all over the UK and Europe are seeking out Leeds web design companies to give them a cocktail of exceptional web design and innovative marketing strategies.
