Web Design Mistakes that Can Effect your SEO

[digitalone]

When it comes to creating a website, one of the first questions you should ask yourself is, “Should I focus on a fantastic design and user experience or on search engine optimization?” Most web designers intentionally ignore SEO. But the point is that there is no need to cut down all the design features for the sake of optimization. The bridge between Design and SEO has a common trap that we need to avoid: SEO-friendly sites that are going through a big redesign requires careful monitoring, as the impending design can hurt the site’s SEO.

Here are some of the most common mistakes web designers make:

1. Splash Pages
2. Too Much Flash
3. Frames
4. Images Instead of Important Elements
5. Lack of Breadcrumbs
6. Pop-Ups
7. Neglecting the navigation standards
8. Improper 404 Error Page
