How to prepare your website for Black Friday traffic

by Owen Gough • November 13, 2025 • 0 Comments

By Owen Gough on Small Business UK – Advice and Ideas for UK Small Businesses and SMEs

A website will typically crash when it is overloaded and cannot respond quickly enough. It could also mean that your customers can’t buy what they’re looking for on Black Friday.

It’s vital to make a positive first impression and you can do that by making your website faster and making sure your site is optimised for smartphones.

Test your website before Black Friday to check its performance by using Pingdom and Google PageSpeed Insights.

Be sure to track website performance over your Black Friday to make improvements in the short and long-term.

Black Friday falls on November 28 this year. Consumer spending has been slow in 2025, with spenders holding out for the late-November Budget announcement. Figures show that they’re waiting for Black Friday discounts and, according to Statista, revenue is estimated to be over £100 billion for 2025.

A well planned and executed Black Friday campaign can have many benefits for your business. As well as driving more sales via a range of discounts and deals, it also provides opportunities to extend your audience base and re-engage lapsed customers too.

How to create a great business website and ensure it’s found

by Nick Ismail • May 25, 2021 • 0 Comments

Originally written by Nick Ismail on Small Business
Creating a great business website that is easily found by potential customers can often be a daunting task. But, it is necessary, in order to build trust, engage customers, demonstrate your service or highlight your product, and sell your good.
Taking lessons from Louis Brightman’s GoDaddy website masterclass, Small Business outlines how to create a great business website and ensure that it’s found.
1. Choosing the right website for your business
There are many types of business; some will just require business cards and others will need a full e-commerce function.
But, regardless of what type of website you need, the same building blocks are needed to build a website:
1. The domain name — this is similar to the number of your house.
2. Hosting — a website is built with pictures and text, and the hosting is bricks and mortar and electricity of your house — it keeps the website live.
3. Content — what type of website does your business need and what type of content is housed on your website? Whether it’s a brochure type, hospitality sector, small scale e-c0mmerce or large scale e-commerce website, any can be hosted on GoDaddy.
Questions to ask yourself and considerations:

Originally written by Anna Jordan on Small Business
Some entrepreneurs feel excited about launching their business website while others dread it.
This guide answers the top questions you may be asking when it comes to building a website for your business and some things that you might not have even considered yet.
1. Do I need to hire a website designer, or can I use a website building package?
There is value in hiring a skilled designer as they can save you a lot of time – vital when you’re busy running a business and are keen to launch your website.
Be aware that building your site can be broken down into two parts: designing and developing. Graphic designers create images for websites, ads, icons, logos and prints. Some only create graphics but others can design websites too.
Make sure you check this when you contact them.
With the all-rounders, try and get a sense of where their weaknesses are and whether that clashes with something important on your site.
Next, you’ll need a developer to make the website function by coding the designs.
Whoever you’re hiring for your design and development needs, it helps to know exactly what you want from your website before you choose anyone. It’ll
