Website design and SEO are intrinsically linked
As SEO specialists we want to help our clients to understand that SEO plays an important part in the web design and development process.
Website design and organic search performance are intrinsically linked and this can become problematic for companies with isolated teams, where design and marketing don’t work closely together, or in cases where marketing is only brought onto a project after a site has already been launched. Sites designed without SEO in mind can cause ranking issues down the line.
At our web agency, we design and develop websites that are built with SEO best practices in mind to create a website that is search engine friendly – SEO Friendly Website.
Search Engine Optimization falls into two main categories:
- On-page SEO –web architecture, semantics, content and the way the site is coded.
- Off-page SEO (also called “off-site SEO”) – refers to actions taken outside of your own website to impact your rankings within search engine results pages (SERPs).
It is important to start working on On-page SEO during the website design process.
There are many different technical aspects of a webpage that can be optimized with on-page SEO, and they include:
- Title tags
- Headings
- URL structure
- Alt text for images
- Site speed
- Internal links
- Meta descriptions
- Responsiveness
Important SEO aspects to consider during the website design process
1. Keywords research and planning
Keyword research impacts every other SEO task that you perform, including finding content topics, on-page SEO and promotion. Keywords are one of the main elements of SEO.
The content on your web pages is vital for SEO success. During the process of building your site, strategic and meaningful placement of keywords will help you get a better ranking for your web pages in search results.
This is why developing a list of keywords is one of the first and most important steps in any search engine optimization initiative.
