WE WON! 🏆

JDR Group has officially been named Web Design Business of the Year at the 2026.

And this one means a lot.

We put a huge amount into the websites we create, making sure they don't just look great, but are strategically planned to attract the right visitors, generate leads and help our clients grow.

It takes expertise from right across JDR to make that happen, so we're incredibly proud to see that work recognised.

A huge thank you to everyone who voted for us, to our clients who trust us with their businesses and, of course, to the JDR team.

Web Design Business of the Year. We'll take that. 🏆

Supporting the next generation of Derby businesses. 🙌

Yesterday, JDR's Kerry Baker and David Roberts joined Business and Butties at the University of Derby to offer marketing advice to entrepreneurs developing their business ideas.

It's a great initiative and one we're proud to support, giving local start-ups access to people from across Derby's business community who can share their experience and help them move their ideas forward.

We're looking forward to seeing where these businesses go!

If AI mentions your business but nobody clicks through to your website, is your marketing still working?

For years, measuring digital marketing has been heavily focused on clicks and website traffic, but AI search is making that much harder to rely on.

Someone could ask ChatGPT to recommend a supplier, see your business mentioned and never visit your website. They might remember your name, look you up on LinkedIn or come back and search for you directly weeks later when they're ready to buy.

The challenge is connecting that journey back to the original AI search.

It’s why website traffic can’t be looked at in isolation anymore. We need to consider things like branded searches, direct traffic, AI visibility and, ultimately, the quality of the enquiries coming through.

Clicks still matter, but we need to look at the bigger picture when judging whether our marketing is working.

Are you starting to see this change in your own website data?

Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento. How do you actually decide which is right for your business?

There’s no shortage of opinions online about which ecommerce platform is ‘best’, but the answer really depends on your business, what you need your website to do and where you want to take it next.

In our upcoming webinar, we’re putting Shopify under the spotlight and comparing it with WooCommerce, Magento and other ecommerce platforms.

We’ll look at the pros and cons, why businesses are choosing to move to Shopify and the things worth considering before you decide whether to follow them.

If you’re planning a new ecommerce website or wondering whether you’ve outgrown your current platform, this webinar will help you understand your options.

What should you write about if your customers are asking questions that barely appear in keyword research tools?

This is something we were discussing with a client recently. They work in a very specialist industry and wanted to create content around issues such as high scrap rates, rework and concessions.

These topics might not show huge search volumes in traditional keyword research, but that doesn't mean potential customers aren't looking for answers.

The way people search is changing. Instead of typing a couple of keywords into Google, they can now ask ChatGPT much more specific questions like, “Why are our manufacturing scrap rates so high?” or “How can we reduce rework?”

This is why keyword research shouldn't be the only thing shaping your content strategy.

Listen to the questions your sales team gets asked, the problems customers bring to you and the conversations your team is having every day. They can uncover some of your best content opportunities, particularly in specialist industries.

Sometimes the best topic isn't the one with the biggest search volume. It's the one your ideal customer really wants an answer to.

Is your ecommerce website holding your business back?

If managing your online store is taking more time than it should, making simple changes has become complicated or your current platform just isn’t keeping up with where the business is heading, it could be time to look at your options.

Shopify is one of those options, but is it actually the right one for your business?

That’s what we’ll be looking at in our upcoming webinar. We’ll talk through why more businesses are moving to Shopify, where it can make a difference and what you need to think about before making the switch.

If you’re questioning whether your current ecommerce platform is still right for your business, join us.

"Is SEO dead?" It's a fair question and one we are often asked!

With ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Gemini changing the way people search, it's easy to assume traditional SEO no longer matters.

The reality is quite the opposite.

SEO is still the foundation of being found online.

You still need:
✔ A technically healthy website
✔ Useful, well-structured content
✔ Internal linking
✔ Authority
✔ A great user experience

What's changed is what happens before someone visits your website.

Instead of searching Google and clicking ten websites, buyers are increasingly asking

AI to compare suppliers, answer questions and build a shortlist first, that's why businesses now need to think beyond rankings.

It's no longer just about appearing in search results.

It's about becoming part of the answer.

SEO hasn't disappeared, the buying journey has simply evolved.

What changes have you noticed in the way your customers research suppliers?
