Yes, Search Engine Optimisation is the process and we believe that most of you, who own a website, know this. But, what you don’t know is you don’t need to invest in the SEO activities in many cases and still your site can stay in rank. How? Simply, by creating an SEO friendly web design. How’s that possible? Here’s the answer.

SEO Friendly URL

Yes, first thing first. URL is the beginning point through which Google and obviously the visitors as well find you out. If it contains non-human terms like special characters and numbers and so on, you neither you nor Google would like it. So, make it easily readable and memorable and better if you can make it keyword centric. At Xentric Technologies we always follow this while developing creative web design.

For example, www.example.com/website.html is more acceptable than www.example.com/14?=pq66757646. Isn’t it?

Google Friendly Images

Yes, it’s possible. No, don’t be scared. We just want to say to keep the size of the images as low as possible. We know it’s a bit unfortunate news for the designers as they want to make their images as glossier and crispier as possible. But, it increases the page loading time and Google doesn’t like it and the visitors as well. You can notice that Pinterest profiles load very fast even though it is packed up with innumerable pictures, just because it compresses the images.

At the same time, you must know that search engines don’t concentrate on the text only; it also reads the images. How? It follows the Alt Text (alternative text) of the images. So, make sure, you are using proper and understandable image name for all the images used in your website.

No Spamming

Often web design companies offer the content of the website for free or at a very low cost. But, as they don’t focus on the SEO matter, either they don’t use any keyword or end up spamming with too many much keyword density. So, it’s better to provide your text yourself with proven keyword density.

Include Sitemap

No, I’m not saying about the HTML sitemap that several web design company provide for the visitors. We don’t think that has much value. But, I’m saying about XML site map. Simply it introduces the search engines with all the pages and links of your website. If you are developing a dynamic website using WordPress or any other PHP frameworks, you will find several popular plugins to add the XML sitemap with ease.

Socialize Your Site

Attract Huge Genuine Traffic through Social Media because it has vast role in SEO and every SEO professional know it very well. So, don’t wait for the SEO experts and ask your web design company to add attractive and easily discoverable links of different social media buttons. Of course, those should be properly linked with the respective sites.

H1 and H2 Tag

H1 and H2 (and so on) are used to define headings of a text content in a creative web design. These should be used properly. It’s better if you can combine most efficient and important keywords in the H1 and then H2 tags.

We don’t say that it will bring you to the first page of the SERP. But, it’ll definitely improve your rank and you’ll just have to perform some of the off-page SEO activities to place your website on the first page.
