Search engines

All our websites are optimised to ensure the best possible search engine performance. When constructing your site there are numerous ways we can help maximise the initial search engine ranking:

• By ensuring there is keyword-friendly content on all pages
• By using properly structured hierarchical page headings (H1, H2, H3 etc)
• By using real text (not graphics) for all navigation elements
• By ensuring that HMTL titles that appear at the top of your browser feature your main keywords
• By including META description tags and ALT tags wherever possible
• By including appropriate keywords in the site's page URLs and hyperlinks
• By avoiding any use of gateway or 'blank' redirect pages

Other factors affecting page rank

It's worth noting that some factors that determine page ranking cannot be directly affected through the design alone. Some of these are listed below:

• The length of time your domain name has been listed
• How many external sites link back to your site
• The number of other sites that are competing for popularity on your particular keywords
• The quality of your competitors sites
