Fast Start Website Tips – Optimisation Is Key

Whats the single most important aspect of web design, aesthetics or SEO? This is a question that will raise a lively debate but the answer you give will be heavily weighed by the job you do.

A graphics design specialist will suggest in a high percentage of cases that the web site design is by far and away most important of course. And let’s face it without that visually attractive to the eye design a possible client will leave your site within a matter of seconds or so they have you think. But then that raises the big question of how did they get there in the first place?

The basic web design criteria or curve goes along the lines of initial design is presented ..website design looks great and is given the go ahead. We need some content ok, Take the text from our existing old site…..website goes live and time passes but no traffic!

And then more time until eventually perhaps months and sometimes years later the situation is either so critical or the company are having to invest in adwords that finally a search engine optimisation company gets called in (or somebody gets intrigued by one of those SEO e-mails that seem to hound webmasters these days), and before you know it you are having to spend more than should be necessary on search engine promotion to try and get noticed by the search engines.

Is this the fast road to success? The thousands of website owners that have been through this exact cycle will certainly argue that it most definitely is not as this put up and hope web development criteria delays any websites success by far too long, and even more frightening  results in lost profit, lost time and lost potential customers.

I don’t think that any web expert would argue against the fact that the search engines don’t rank on the visual aspect of web design but with scant regard to optimisation so often this first opportunity to make an impact when the web site first gets indexed is totally lost, if all the search engines find is a appalingly optimised site with minimal regard paid to any SEO requirements or keyword capture.

With only a little extra investment spent on pre development SEO (which should at the very least include keyword research and SEO copywriting) gives an worthy return on investment as invariably initial indexing is bound to achieve a far better search engine position from the outset and occassionaly in not too competitive niches a page one result straight away.
