search engine optimizationBasic search engine optimization actually benefits the web site visitor. What makes a visitor happy is really what makes a search engine like Google happy. There are both things a visitor notices (such as good relevant content) as well as what they don't see behind-the-scenes that should be present on your web site. Creating a web site that is search engine friendly is simply an automatic part of what Noodle Design does when building your web site. If you have a web site you suspect needs to be optimized for search engines we can help with that too.

Simple Steps to Searchability

If you're looking for a web designer you'll want to make sure they're savvy to techniques that will make your site search engine friendly. Below are just handful of things a web designer should be doing, whether they claim to be a search engine optimization wizard or not.

  1. Image Alt Tags The html code for an image looks like this: ' < img src="images/pic.jpg" alt="my pic" /> '. If the 'alt="description"' is missing or is left blank (alt="") that's bad. You don't need anything fancy. A simple description of the photo will do.
  2. File Names You want your page file names to be key word rich and easily readable by search engines. A logo design page for instance could have a file name like logo-design.html.
  3. Meta Tags Look at the title bar of a browser window and see what text you find. There should be key words pertaining to your business and not simply "Untitled" or "home". Also make sure there are description meta tags and keyword meta tags.
