Form Meets Function
Redesigning a website is no small undertaking. Your website is your storefront to the world, and choosing the right web designer is essential. Designs cost thousands of dollars, and can take months to complete. At the end of it all, you want as many people as possible to see your masterpiece.
But, what good is a beautiful website if no one can find it? If your potential customers don't know your brand name, they need to be able to find you in search engines. If you spend thousands of dollars on a site that is not designed with search engines in mind, you will have wasted precious time and money.

Search Engine Friendly Web Design
The search engines WANT to find your content. They try hard to give searchers the best results for their queries. However, there are a lot of web design and coding issues that can potentially get in the way of the search engines as they try index and rank your site.
Many web design agencies don't know about these potential pitfalls and may design a website that looks great but is virtually invisible to the Google or Yahoo or Bing. A good, well designed, search engine friendly site has several requirements among which are:
- Hand coded, standards compliant HTML and CSS
- Site architecture that follows aearch engine best practices and promotes site crawling
- Search engine friendly canonical URLs which include keywords
- Keyword optimized title and meta information
- Keyword optimized content which caters to users while retaining a good keyword ratio
- Appropriate use of Javascript and Flash which will not impede Search Engine crawling
By choosing web designers who are well-versed in SEO, you can ensure that your website is built on a solid foundation of optimization and usability practices which will encourage the search engines to spider your site, index your content, and rank it highly.
