Search-Friendly Design Patterns For Web Developers

by Vanessa Fox ~ April 24, 2008

Search engine optimization (SEO) isn't a marketing gimmick, spammy scheme, or destroyer of web usability. It's a fundamental building block of effective infrastructure design that ensures web applications can thrive in an online environment in which potential customers turn to search first. It also can dramatically improve site usability and visitor happiness.

Watch this space for design patterns, code snippets, case studies, and implementation techniques for elegant code that both ensures potential customers can find your site online as well as provides them a compelling experience once they arrive.

The presentations are ok, i like the way you mixed 'em up but i think it would have helped a lot if you could have stuffed a bit more content... they tend to be a bit too short.

Thanks for posting this set of checklists - its good to have something like this to remember to go through every time. I think sometimes this stuff gets so "typical" that we should all have a checklist to make sure we don't overlook one of the them.

Hi Vanessa,

I just wanted to say thanks for the terrific presentation. I found the slides some time ago at SlideShare, but did not really have the time to finish watching them all. Finally I found the time to go through the entire presentation and was really good. I like the diagrams and the case studies the most.

Just one quick request. It will be nice if in the future you can add a bit more information about your case studies. I'm sure your perspective will be interesting and refreshing.

Great job!

Hi Venessa,

Once again great stuff. Have been thinking a bit lately about ASP.NET and CMS systems - what is your take on that, do they both bring about to many problems seen with the SEO glasses on, or are there no problems implementing them both on say 1.000+ page sites or even smaller?

In my own experience with CMS systems, then yes, you can do SEO on them, but it is an up-hill struggle all the way.

I wish I could get this through the average persons head. Just making things search engine firendly does not mean sacrafice in other areas. But, there are different designs needed for different marketing systems.

SEO is a very important role with design, you would be so surprised as to how many actual designers out there think they can design for web, it's extremely frustrating as a web development company owner. We have tried to work with clients '3rd party designers' its always a mess. I do not recommend it , anyhow this is powerful insight and advice thinks for the info on the patterns, I suggest everyone should read it!
