Making a website design that is SEO friendly is not very difficult but it should be done methodically. Like any other structure, your search engine optimization campaign must be based on a solid foundation to get good results. The following elements are very important for effective and efficient SEO-based website design.

Avoid Flash
It is a bad idea to use Flash in website design that requires SEO. Search engine spiders do not index flash files. This means that all your content will be ignored due to flash components as they are not compatible with Search Engine’s technology. If you still use Flash to build a website, don’t forget to include an alternative textual description for your files.

Using Frames
A website that uses frames will make it hard for search engine spiders to crawl through its content. It is advised to not to use frames in websites for which SEO has to be done.

Keyword Research
It is imperative to optimize your website design for the right keywords. This enables the target audience to find you in search engines. For researching keywords, you must use reliable tools that are available online.

Title and Meta tags
As one of the most crucial places for SEO, the Title Tags and Meta Tags ( Keyword and Description) should include researched keywords. This tag comprises of the text that is seen by users in search engine results pages. Keep it short and use the researched keywords near the beginning of the tag.

URL
The URL of your website and link pages ( link names) can also include the keywords for effective SEO.

CSS Navigation
By using a CSS (cascading style sheet) navigational menu, you make your website text ready for crawling and indexing by search engine spiders. Even better, you can include a CSS drop down navigational menu to get greater SEO benefits in terms of fewer clicks for webpage access and instant sitemaps.

Keyword Density
Keyword density in content and tags is one of the important part of SEO. However, you must ensure that the keyword density is right. Don’t stuff too many keywords during web page optimization. On an average, the keyword density should not exceed 3-7% in body text.

Anchor Text
Your hyperlinks consist of certain words that can include researched keywords for creating a SEO friendly website design. This will make it easier for visitors and search engine crawlers to know about your web page content.

Heading Tags
You must not ignore the use of keywords in heading tags of your web pages. This assists in better rankings on search engines.

Images
It is best to keep text out of images and use 'Alt' tags, including keywords, for images.

With advancements in web technologies and the introduction of newer concept of Web 3.0, changes in traditional website design is fast catching up. We have seen there was a major move in the way websites changed from simple left/right link bar to full page element display layout when Web 2.0 concept captured the world wide web. Based in Central Texas we have seen the design trend changing again, with businesses preferring bolder websites.

What design concepts are in now days?

• Bigger fonts for headings
• Usage of badges and banners
• Large Input fields
• Tag clouds
• Rounded corners
• Displaying steps of a process as bold icons.
• Vibrant colors like orange, green, blue etc.

We have also seen display of various elements of the website together, all on the very first home page. Besides attractive designs with images and flash, text areas are also being used extensively (unlike in web 2.0) to make the site even more friendly for Search Engines.

While web page design, involves arrangement of various elements with color variations, logo design is purely concept based creation targeting the business elements of an organization. While designing a logo, a careful understanding of the business concept and promoter’s mind set is required. Design jobs like Flyer and Brochure creation are also concept based creations and needs to be attractive and should convey the message effectively. For businesses who are spending on paid advertisements, visitor landing page ( page on which a user lands on your website after clicking on an advertizement) is the most important one. It needs to be designed by keeping the psychic of users in mind and should be designed under guidance of an internet marketing specialist. Besides attractive layout, correct message has to be conveyed to the users to make sure they buy the product and services being offered by the website.

While the choice for a design and concept is purely an individual selection and can vary from individual to individual. This calls in need for an expert design team to create and display various choices for the end client.
