Hello and welcome to the online presence of me; Nick Hurst. This site is just here to give you a way of contacting me and to explain a little about myself. I'm a web designer or perhaps more correctly a digitial marketer. I create websites that are not only meant to look fantastic but more importantly be search engine friendly. After all, who cares how good your site looks if no one can find it...? Over the years I have worked on many different web sites from large e-commerce stores down to small static sites. Please feel free to contact me for more information or a quote.
Well that's covered my professional side. I'm also currently learning photography which you can check out on my photography blog.
Web Design and Online Advertising
Hello, my name is Nick Hurst. Im a web designer. I create websites that are not only meant to look fantastic but most importantly be search engine friendly.... After all, who cares how good your site looks if no one can find it...?
Over the years I have worked on many different web sites from large e-commernce stores down to small static sites.
I also have an up to date knowledge of search engine optimisation and pay-per-click advertising.
Feel free to contact me regarding any potential project or if you just need some advice, i'll get back to you as soon as possible
I have written on my home page a very true statement "who cares how good your site looks if no one can find it?", however why not have the best of both worlds with a site that is not only correctly optimised for search but is good looking as well? I can offer up great designs whilst ensuring your site is optimized for search engines at the same time.
I have years of website design experience under my belt and am happy to undertake any project from a one page website to a full on shopping site. I also specialise in completely customised WordPress templates for you bloggers. Want to view some of my designs?
Pay Per Click (PPC) is possible the most important marketing tool on the web. It allows anyone to have instant online recognition and will drive traffic straight to your site from tailored adverts. These ads will only appear for specific keywords (or search terms) which are set in your account. If you want more information on PPC check out this Youtube video from the guys at Google which explains PPC further how search works.
In regards to pay-per-click advertising I have over 5 years experience managing paid search accounts running on Google, MSN & Yahoo. I've worked on many different accounts from tiny budgets of £30 per month up to accounts which spend tens of thousands a month. Feel free to contact me above to find out more.
Website Optimisation
What is Search Engine Optimisation? In a nutshell Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a technical process of adapting your website to make it easier to found by search engines. It's about setting the site up correctly so you can be found on popular search engines such as Google and Bing for the terms you want to be found for.
Why should I optimise my site? This is the question I most get asked. And the answer is if your site isn’t correctly optimised you will be missing out on valuable traffic from search engines and loosing out on new customers / traffic. A point also worth considering – if you're not number 1 someone else is.
