Portside has repositioned us as the go-to authority on dentures in Newport and beyond, with a website tailored specifically for our senior patients. It breaks away from the usual clinic stereotypes and stands out in the best possible way.”

“Portside. and Mark more specifically, has played a pivotal role in keeping Lotus Weight Loss running smoothly and growing strongly. He’s managed two mission-critical hosting moves with little disruption, implemented secure email systems, and provided round-the-clock infrastructure support during peak surges — often working late into the night to ensure everything was operational by the next day.

On top of this, he implemented a CDN, strengthened patient account and site security, and kept the website afloat through periods that enabled Lotus to process over £400,000 in revenue.”

Frequently asked questions

Whilst we are based in Newport, South Wales, Portside has clients all over the UK, with many going back as long as 10 years. It’s important to recognise that when choosing a web design or internet marketing company, whilst it’s ideal to be able to meet up locally, it shouldn’t be the deciding factor. Requirements are varied and in our experience it can be advantageous to meet face to face.

That said, much of the digital marketing services we provide can be delivered remotely. What we would say is that if you have a complex requirement such as a new website we would recommend you sit down for a meeting at our Newport office to discuss things in detail.

There are a great many web design companies out there that will complete your website and let you go on your merry way. That’s not the approach we take. When we design a website for you we also discuss your business objectives, what you goals are for the next 12 months and how we might assist in helping you reach those goals.

For your website we can provide super-fast hosting, SEO consultation and on-going website management should you require it. Our agency will consult with you regarding your digital marketing aims and provide advice and roadmaps should you wish. For the most part we are small business web design experts. The South Wales websites we create generate leads for local and small businesses long after we’ve delivered the requirement.

Portside offers a range of free SEO tools to help enhance your Google positions. Use our free keyword position checker to see where your website ranks in Google UK for any search term. Enter your keyword and domain to view your current position, the specific page Google is choosing to rank, and whether results change on mobile vs desktop. You can also test different locations or postcodes for a more realistic picture of local visibility.

Portside are a results driven SEO company in Newport. Once you’re onboard we’ll conduct a complete SEO audit and discuss your goals for the coming year. Everything we do is driven by data, analysis and competitive research. We have had great success with both national SEO and local SEO campaigns.

What’s more, we’ll also provide you with regular reports to keep you up in the loop about how things are progressing. We understand that taking a clear and transparent approach to SEO is empowering to our clients. Many of our clients have fallen foul of badly implemented SEO. So much so that we really do believe that the best approach is through reporting and proper education.

Our Newport SEO services extend far beyond just the local area. Given the nature of digital marketing, much of what we do can be successfully provided remotely. As a result we also provide SEO across South Wales. into multiple locations such as Caerphilly, Swansea, Bridgend, Cwmbran, Monmouth and Abergavenny.

If the project outcomes don’t match your expectations, we take it very seriously. Portside aim to please, and have been known to completely scrap a project and start again fresh if a client is just not feeling the vibe. Our structured feedback process ensures your input is integrated at every stage, thereby mitigating any risk of misalignment. However, if issues arise, we’re committed to resolving them promptly and effectively.

We can work seamlessly with any existing collateral created by your previous digital marketing agency. Where possible, Portside will maintain brand consistency and maximise the value of your current assets. If needed we’ll audit your marketing materials and on-going campaigns to better understand what’s working and where there’s room for improvement.

Whether it’s updating visuals, refining messaging or integrating new elements, we work closely with you to ensure the final result perfectly reflects your brand.

Our Newport SEO service is an on-going process. Even world class SEO cannot guarantee your website will always rank at the top. Search engine rankings are influenced by a plethora of factors such as algorithm changes and market competition. While expert SEO can significantly improve your rankings, those positions can never be guaranteed as permanent.

In order to keep you at the top you’ll need an ongoing SEO strategy with regular content updates, backlinks and technical SEO. Other factors such as relevance, authority and user experience can all contribute to your rankings fluctuating. SEO should be always viewed as an ongoing process rather than a one-and-done service.

We certainly can. Portside has delivered lead generating websites for a number of local businesses in Newport. Recent examples include The Denture Clinic Newport which was  part of a full re-brand, Newport City Martial Arts who have been our client for over a decade, and Newport Truck Park a prominent provider of HGV parking facilities.

What’s more, we’ve delivered e-commerce web design for companies such as Leisurequip, 2020 Rising and others. Recently we provided web design, MHRA compliant copywriting, SEO and hosting infrastructure support for Lotus Weight Loss Cardiff that helped them secure over £1 million in sales in a single month.
