It’s useless to have the best designed website which no one can find! Many web designers often ignore search engine optimization to improve their website’s search engine results page rankings. In this article, we’ve shared some quick and easy SEO tips all designers should be using in their layouts.
Tip 1: Employ SEO techniques right from the start of web design and development.
Tip 2: Designs must be given more importance, but it’s basically the back-end code that provides proper support. Therefore, try optimizing the code and checking for W3C compliance from the very beginning.
Tip 3: Don’t forget the basics including title tags, Meta tags, Meta descriptions, Header tags etc.
Tip 4: Don’t forget to optimize your website images using alt tags. Also make sure to optimize the image size and loading time to the minimum.
Tip 5: Search engines simply adore text and content, particularly the unique one. So make sure your pages have relevant content to boost your search rankings. Try not to overload your web design with so many graphic, but have appropriate text too.
Tip 6: Flash is cool and interactive feature to engage users, but it doesn’t work with flash. If you really want to put some flash on your website, use flash banners and slideshows, and keep alternative text versions for websites in full flash.
Tip 7: Competitive analysis is also crucial to know your competitor’s status. This way you can not only improve your own rankings, but also defeat them in areas where they are showing poor results.
Tip 8: Optimize your website URL’S with your relevant keywords. Assign a different title name to each page, and don’t repeat the same title throughout the entire site. Moreover, the page title must not exceed 65 characters.
Tip 9: Replace JavaScript sin navigation menu with CSS based navigation. Using JavaScript can make your menu less search engine friendly but you can some use of its features in a CSS menu and retain the fanciness of the navigational menu.
Tip 10: Use a SEO friendly design that does not block or hamper the indexing of important areas on your site. Also, to ensure both search engine and user friendliness keep your keyword rich content above the fold.
These 10 tips will help you design a website that works equally well on search engines and give your design the exposure and traffic it needs to survive in the online marketplace.

You mention optimizing page load / image size. Does page load time impact search results? I know Google made a lot of noise about speeding up the Web recently, so I'm curious if it's impacting rankings.

Hey these are some great tips you've posted here. I often forget many of the basics of SEO (title, meta, headers etc.) and have to go back to sorting it all out afterwards. Thanks for sharing.
Good Tips.
For Tip 4: YSlow is the best Firefox Addons to check the loading time and size of each element of the webpage.
Yes, surely page load time do matter and even now Google has announced it too. Google has released a plugin for optimizing page speed. It will impact you rankings because if your competitor has a well optimized website than surely Google is going to put it before you. Also, the Google bot doesn't spend much time to load your web page if it takes long enough. So, optimizing your web pages to have shortest load time is always good.

In todays world, most of the new web designer don’t know about what is SEO and how important is it. They just focus on great, eye catchy designs and the client (who doesn’t aware of SEO either) looks at the design he think that he is going to dominate the world.
