Website Design & Integrated SEO

website design services with integrated SEO

Having worked with web designers in the past, it quickly became obvious that they have no idea about how to be search engine sensitive when designing a website or website layout. Many of them do things that really hurt a website's chances to rank well in the Big 3 search engines including Google, MSN and Yahoo. They may use bad SEO layouts, too much code, the wrong type of code, or don't place the content in the right place, etc. The list can go on and on. We collaborate with you to create something that is both completely functional and extremely artistic all at once. Every website developed by 1st Search is created to be beautiful and search engine friendly from the very beginning. We can then build upon this properly established foundation in the future to create an even bigger impact.

Obviously it makes perfect sense to have Search Engine Optimization experts design or redesign your website from the ground up for a great look and layout that will also get you the rankings you are looking for in the major search engines. That's where we come in. We'll handle all of your Graphic Design needs for your site, and we specialize in XHTML and CSS compliant server side scripted websites, which is the cutting edge of internet technology. We can design fluid width sites that will adapt to any browser, resolution and screen size (widescreen, regular, etc.) This site is a perfect example of that. It is a fluid width adaptation of a template by David Carter of the UK.

We design your site from the ground up to be search engine friendly so you don't have to worry about major upgrades and costly website redesigns down the road. Obviously we can't guarantee that browsers and search engines will never change how code needs to be written. The pending switch from HTML to XHTML even now necessitates a change, but we know what the engines like and have continued to favor over the years. Certain things don't change, so major revisions aren't usually necessary if it's done right to start with.

We even do the intricate stuff like server side coding with languages like PHP if your site needs to be dynamically updated or structured. We set up your internal links and redirects properly in Apache so your pagerank is not lost or split between canonical url's. We can even program to have automatic code placed on your website or blog on a daily basis if you like. There are many advantages to this with SEO. Namely backlinks and fresh content which search engines love. It can all be as simple or as vast as you need it to be. Call us and let us know what your SEO and website design needs are.
