For people looking to get a website designed for their business, here are some simple tips that will help in getting a search engine friendly website –
Good keyword research, to get an idea about the words that people search the most on the internet, is going to be the initial step
Emphasise on creating better meta tags, having different titles and descriptions
Limiting keyword repetition in the meta tags can work wonders
Try to minimize the use of spread sheets, containing cells & tables, to enhance the website design
Once the website is complete and indexing has been done, pages that did not get higher rankings, you must get them re-designed or improved to get better results
Keeping an eye on the website traffic and search engine rankings even after the website has been completed, is a must
Most important of all, try to keep it as simple as possible
What most designers do is overdo things with the graphics images and programs, which can prove to be disastrous for the website and its search engine ratings
