Common SEO Web Design Mistakes

Having a business website is like an office online. It needs to offer users the same quality service they would have received offline. There are a few web design mistakes that can prevent your website from performing at its best. Below are a few SEO web design mistakes that should be avoided.

Flash Intro

Many websites still have these flash intros which have no useful purpose. Though some search engines can now index flash content; flash intros do not usually have a lot of text in them.

Most people will not watch a flash intro; they will just search for the skip button. If they are unable to skip, they'll just click the back button and you can say goodbye to a customer.

Pictures

There are still many websites who will use text images rather than text. Know that there are no search engines yet who can read the content of images. It is only going to be a waste of your time to add text images to your website. Do not deprive your content of their full potential; use text only. Images are good to add life to a web page but should not be used to replace plain text. Add descriptive alt tags to images can help search engines to know their content and can get them listed in image search.

Animations

This includes all types of animations that can be added to a web page; spinning text, glitter graphics, background music, glowing text among others. All are so fancy, used to attract the attention of a user. These work on some type of websites but are usually pointless and make a website look unprofessional. That being said; everything that can take attention away from your main content should be avoided.
