In Episode 3 of M&G Agency Life: Let’s Talk Tech, Aimee and Pete turn their attention to one of the most important (and most misunderstood) parts of any digital strategy - your website.

They’re joined by M&G’s Web Lead Kirsty and Developer Steven to discuss why websites still matter, what a good website actually looks like, and why ongoing maintenance is just as important as the initial build. The team also tackle the common misconception that social media has replaced the need for a website, and they explain why that simply isn’t the case.

From user experience and performance to structure and longevity, this episode breaks down what businesses should be thinking about when it comes to their website.

Expect solid website advice, practical insight… and a gentle reminder that most developers are only one conversation away from quoting Lord of the Rings.

Aimee and Pete are back with a brand new series of M&G Agency Life, called Let’s Talk Tech . They’re kicking things off with a question everyone’s heard of, but not everyone really understands… What the F&*k is SEO?

Joined by M&G’s Digital Strategist Alex, the team break down what SEO actually is, why it’s good and why you need it, without the jargon, buzzwords or tech waffle. They cover what SEO means in practice, how it fits into a wider digital strategy, and what businesses should realistically expect from it.

Expect clear explanations, practical insight and real-world context… and, as always, a slightly ridiculous ending to round things off.

Tech explained. Confusion removed. SEO finally makes sense.
