SEO Web Design/Architecture

Web design and SEO design are different. Many offer services to create a pretty website using Flash, AJAX and a Content Management System. But most designers, and most CMS systems, make production cars. If you want to race and if you want to finish number one, then you need a race car. Race cars require blueprinted designs, handcrafted tuning, and a skilled team of engineers. Only then can they compete in a real race. A race car will almost always beat a production car and search engine placement is not much different – the best will win. The only way to win in the search engines is to design your site for the purpose of competing. A properly designed website will succeed with both your customers and the search engines.
