This is definitely an informative article. This should make a lot of people realize that a website doesn’t only need to look good; they need to be appealing to search engines as well.
It can be hard to do it especially if the web designer doesn’t know the importance of optimizing a website using SEO techniques that won’t, at the same time, make it look like the site is designed specifically for search engines. They still need to be catered to the target audience first.

an informative article…. many web site designers don’t design their sites for the search engines. This is a huge mistake because they miss out on attracting lots of free traffic. Your beautifully designed web site may have cost you thousands of dollars but it still needs to attract visitors to be profitable.

It’s a fine balance of having a high conversion rate and having your website rank well in the search engines. seo services and seo web design need to be done hand in hand, the site needs to be spiderable by the search engines, yet easy to use by the customer, this takes experience and skill to manage both correctly, my advice is first check out the sites ranking well and see if they are user friendly, then emulate the best.

SEO is definitely a friendly web site design for web designers and developers. But it is not only search engines that will help us to achieve highest ranking,nor the process that comes after the design. Rather, it should be a persistent consideration all throughout the creation process.

A happy medium needs to be reached between optimizing a website for it's target audience and make it search engine friendly. If your site doesn't show up in the search engine results, new visitors from your target audience are not going to find you.

Having a SEO friendly design is the #1 step a web designer should take when building your business a site. This article is good because it talks to business owners who can use this information to decide what web designer to go with. The problem is that most fancy web designers use a lot of Flas and oftentimes do not know anything about SEO. When I first got into the website design business, I got into it because of the fancy things that Flash was able to do. Then I learned that Flash sites have very little to no chance of coming up on the first page of Google. Of course, so long as you use HTML on most of your page, a little Flash is okay. Also, while images don’t say anything to search engines, there’s the “ALT” and “TITLE” tags that describe each image and Google pays attention to these tags.

Very nice article about SEO design. You hit on a major one with crawlability. Many people seem to think that they can ignore good SEO based design & layout; and then make up for it by using a site map. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Sitemaps are great for getting the deeper part of a site crawled, but nothing beats good design and crawlability on the home page. I have a client who insists on using javascript based menus on his site. No matter how many times, I’ve suggested it, he refuses to switch to a text based menu. He claims that the sitemap makes up for the inability of bots to crawl javascript. I politely disagree and his lack of keyword rankings seem to back my disagreement. Oh well, he’s the client and it’s his site.

Agree the images, flash and scripting add to a site when used in moderation.

If the important information is contained within these elements, then the visitors who cannot read them (no flash, images turned off, scripting turned off, those who use technology assistance, some mobile phones, to name a few), including the search engines, don’t benefit from the eye candy.

Flash/images/JS are all part of selling/entertaining the people once they get to your site. No problem using all 3 as long as they don’t get in the way of the web crawlers!
