How to Have Solid SEO and Great Web Design

Underneath all the flash and glitter has to be accessible HTML, which means that it is easily read and accessible to both search engine spiders and screen readers. Let’s face it, websites can be very artistic and flashy (no pun intended) and may make people gasp with delight when they render on the screen. This doesn’t mean, however, that they are being read and ranked by the major search engines the way their owners would like or expect.

The more accessible the pages are, the easier it will be for search engines to read and rank your pages. But this is just the start for Asheville web design and if they don’t understand this basic rule for optimum page rank then you might as well not have a website at all.

If you can’t secure your keyword phrase as a URL, the next best step is to make sure that it is in the title tag of your site. It is of the utmost importance that this phrase gets into the search engines and it’s even better if it appears as the link in the search engine as well. Another simple but very effective step for web design Asheville NC is to use the keyword phrase in the headline tags of your pages. Because search engines recognize headlines as more important than the surrounding text, they assign greater value to keywords found there.

Another mistake that is made by both the owners of the websites and the designers is that the URL is bought and paid first. Then they realize that securing a domain name that is also your keyword phrase should be of the highest priority when considering how people will find you when they enter their search terms in one of the major search engines.

Another step that should be taken before the design is to determine from where you can get other reputable sites that will agree to link to your site. Inbound links indicate that your site is valuable and relevant to your particular topic or market. This will increase your “reputation” with the search engines as well. And your reputation after all the other initial planning and insertion of keyword phrases and title tags, etc. is what you want to build and maintain for the duration of your site’s or business’ life.

Keep the phrase “content is king” in your head every time you plan a new page or new content – make it relevant as it expands on the original theme. Make sure your content is relevant and follows the theme of your keywords- and don’t forget, that every page that follows this same theme also lends more credibility. Of course there are many more steps, code changes, submissions, and constant review of your site’s content, back linking, and other tricks of the trade that shouldn’t be left to your web designer or you for that matter because the major search engines are always modifying and adding ranking criteria to the ever more competitive world of search engine optimization.
