Web Design 101

Getting it right from the start

As we move into an age were we find just about everything on the web using Search Engines such as Google, it makes sense that good website design not only focus on aesthetics but on all aspects of good search engine optimization. Good web design begins with a sound plan on how the site will be indexed by popular search engines. Afterall, a great website needs to be seen to be effective.

Finding the right balance between good website design and SEO can be tricky and largely depends on the type of website you are building. Database driven sites are particularly difficult because many of the internal pages may not be linked using standard HTML linking methods. In other words they are linked dynamically when the page is viewed. This can present problems for indexing robots that want to crawl through the pages in your site. Again, good web design will insure that all pages are accessible using standard HTML linking methods.

When in doubt about your web design, just view your site using Lynx to see what it will look like to a search engine crawler in plain text. If you can't read the text clearly or there are problems connecting all pages to the home page - rethink your web design.
