Your customers are searching your website for specific information. Do you know if your website is helping is helping them find it?
 
Traditional website search is good at matching keywords, but it can struggle when someone searches for something using different words or phrases from the content on your website. For example, someone asks a detailed question, uses terminology that doesn’t appear on your website, or needs information from several different pages.
 
That’s where RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) comes in.
 
RAG-powered website search can understand the meaning behind a question, find the most relevant information across your content, and turn it into a useful, conversational answer – with links back to the original pages.
 
And there’s another big advantage: it doesn’t have to be built into your website.
 
A standalone RAG search service can continue working when your website is redesigned, migrated or moved to a different CMS. That means you can build a smarter search experience without starting from scratch every time your website changes.
 
So, what does RAG website search actually involve? And where does it make the most sense?
 
Our Senior Web Developer, Mark Hearton, has broken it down in our latest article, including the technology behind it, the benefits and the limitations to consider.

Behind every reliable website, platform or digital product is a process designed to make sure they work properly. That’s where Quality Assurance and testing come in.
 
Although they’re closely linked, QA and testing play different roles in delivering high-quality digital experiences. QA helps build quality into the development process, while testing helps identify issues and make sure the end product performs as it should.
 
Both are essential for creating digital products that are reliable and user-friendly. But how do these two processes work together throughout digital development?
 
In our latest Proctors Short, our Quality Assurance Tester, Laura McNutt, breaks down QA vs testing and explains the role each plays in the software development process.
 
At Proctors, our expertise brings together both QA and testing so we can spot issues early and deliver better digital experiences for our clients.

Your motion guidelines don’t have to be… well, motionless 😉
 
In fact, your wider brand guidelines don’t have to be static either!
 
In Part 1 of our motion guidelines series, we explored what motion guidelines are, what they include and the key principles brands should consider when developing them. You can find Part 1 on our YouTube Shorts channel.
 
Now, in Part 2, our Senior Motion Graphics Designer, Dan Simmonds, looks at how to present those guidelines in a way that brings them to life online and makes them more engaging and interactive. Rather than relying on a long, static PDF, brands can use digital tools to make their guidelines easier to explore and understand.

Since 1979, we’ve made our name by accepting marketing challenges other agencies might shy away from.
 
That means understanding the challenges and realities behind every digital project and and what it takes to make them a success. Every project comes with competing priorities. Everyone wants it faster, cheaper and better, but there are very few occasions where you can achieve all three at once.
 
In this video, our Digital Project Manager, Pip Trotter, explains why every project involves trade offs and how making the right decisions early on helps keep projects on track and focussed around what matters most to our clients.
 
It’s also a reminder of the value an experienced digital team brings. From our digital project managers and digital design specialists to developers, designers and strategists, we work together to balance our clients priorities, solve their problems and deliver digital projects that help achieve their business goals.

Your brand guidelines probably cover logos, colour palettes, typography and tone of voice. But what about motion?
 
As more brands use animation across websites, social media, digital campaigns and products, motion has become a key part of brand identity.
 
Without clear motion guidelines, animations can quickly become inconsistent, making your brand feel fragmented rather than recognisable.
 
Good motion guidelines help teams answer questions like:
 
• How should our brand move?
• Which transitions and animations should we use?
• How can we create a consistent experience across every digital touchpoint?
• Are our animations accessible and compliant with the European Accessibility Act?
 
It’s about much more than making things look polished. Consistent, purposeful motion strengthens your brand, improves the user experience and helps ensure accessibility is considered from the outset.
 
In our latest article, our Senior Motion Graphics Designer, Dan Simmonds, explores why motion guidelines are becoming an essential part of modern brand systems, what they should include and how they can help future-proof your digital brand presence.
