Search Engine Friendly Web Design
If you want your website to function well for search, it is vital to make sure that your web designer is familiar with how search engines work and what he is required to do in order to achieve top rankings for you.
A businesss website should act as another member of its sales team, bringing in leads to your business to then be converted into sales. The job of a website is to appear in the path of traffic that are looking for the services your company provides and to then convert that traffic into a sale, an enquiry or at least a sign up to the newsletter.
List building is an important sales aspect, but the main purpose of your site is to sell your companys product or service. The primary call to action on your site is to do exactly that, sell what you sell. However if the lead decides not to buy what you want to sell them, you should then ask them to sign up to your newsletter.
Basic web design is very important for your site to rank well. There are plenty of good looking, all-singing all-dancing websites that have just been coded as one piece of flash and are unreadable to search engines. Search engines depend on many on-page factors to know what to rank a site for. If you want your site to rank for Light Bulbs but your site doesnt have the words on it anywhere, then how will a search engine know what to rank you for.
There are over 100 on page factors that affect how a page will rank. Each one of them will reinforce to the search engine how focused your page is on a particular theme or subject. If your page is constructed badly then you will limit how many of these factors can be edited to suit your purposes. Site builders such as Joomla have several limiting factors that make them particularly difficult to optimize for a large volume of keywords.
If you really want your site to climb to the top of the search engine rankings, then before you pay someone thousands of pounds to make your site for you, you should conduct some research of your own into SEO and ensure that your web designer will make your site search engine friendly, rather than spending all that money to realise that your site cannot be read by search engines.
Many web designers are unaware of the requirements needed for effective SEO and so are still delivering websites to their clients that are not good enough for the modern Ecommerce environment.
