More than just web designers - we go the extra mile to help promote our clients' websites.

Search Engine-Friendly

A search engine-friendly website is one that conforms to the guidelines and standards as determined by the industry and does not breach any terms of inclusion in a search engine. A search engine-friendly site should not have any barriers that block or prevent search engine bots or spiders from "crawling" your website and indexing it in its database.

A search engine-friendly website should:

• have quality and relevant content
• be easy to navigate
• have unique title tags and meta description tags
• have quality links to it from other websites
• use heading tags
• use alt tags
• have a sitemap and/or footer navigation with hyperlinked text

Some common barriers to avoid include:

• frames
• splash or intro pages
• all images - no content
• image maps
• long query strings
• javascript navigation
• incorrect HTML code

Websketching’s websites are built with the search engines, our clients, and the end-users in mind. Our content management system allows our clients to easily publish their content while creating HTML pages with keyword-rich, search engine-friendly URL’s; it gives our clients the ability to modify the title, keyword and description tags on every page of their site; it uses alt text with the images to further improve search engine-friendliness as well as to benefit the end-users.
