SEO
Time Studios has helped me time and time again with my website. Always prepared to listen, understand and offer a practical solution. Plus, they realise when a customer truly needs urgent help and they are always there to support. Their team are knowledgeable, and have taught me a huge amount about what a great website looks like. I’ll always be indebted to them for their help. For example, in the early days they took my website that was loading in +20 seconds and got it to under 3 seconds – no mean feat, and they achieved it.

Given the success of the initial optimisation, Making Business Matter decided to take our advice and rebuild their website with a performance and SEO focus. Key actions included:
- Clean Code: Ensured clean, efficient coding practices to enhance performance.
