The Team

Daniel Cordwell – MD

Having a degree in Graphic Design and over ten years experience in Marketing, I created Visions Design in 2010. Having a creative background but obsessed with anything digital. My philosophy is quite simple.

“Do something you Love, Work Hard and Love your Family”.

My greatest achievement to date has been the ownership of a £1 million marketing budget for a national client resulting in a hugely successful campaign.

As the MD and Founder of Visions Design,
I will head the project and remain a key point of contact throughout.

I will work with your internal teams and branding agency to develop the strategy, align our goals and ultimately ensure we deliver an outstanding project that raises your profile.

Site Structure & UX

High organic search engine rankings are often the result of logical, well-structured site architecture.

Organising your sites content into the most logical structure possible will drive a positive experience.

Usability

Logical information architecture that is user friendly. This will enhance user experience and increase conversions.

Rankings

An intelligent structure will pass link equity to the most important pages on your site and therefore assist rankings.

Conversions

A well-thought out structure should walk
the user through the conversion process, from information pages through to purchase. Throughout the design and build of your site we keep in mind how both users and search engines interact with your site.

For users, it’s about getting the most relevant content in front of them, in as few clicks
as possible. The same approach can also benefit search engines; by flattening your site architecture you can make gains in indexation (more pages in a search engines index) that can lead to more organic traffic.

What Does Poor Site Architecture Look Like?

To navigate to the bottom layer, search engines and users are expected to venture down a six-click path. This depth is not ideal. Search engines will expect pages this deep to be unimportant and will therefore be less visible in search results, even for “long-tail” keywords. Users on the other hand will likely drop out before they make it to the bottom.

Creating a Flatter Site Architecture

Pages buried very deeply in the architecture will not receive enough link equity (both internally and externally) to be visibly in search engine rankings. By “flattening” the site architecture, you can promote content up the architecture and therefore improve its rank. As illustrated in the above diagram, a “flatter” site architecture. This greatly reduces the number of clicks to the very deepest level and improves the indexation of the site.
