Many of my web design customers come to me after they have made their own attempt at creating a website. A well designed website structure that can make a significant difference in the amount of traffic that a website gets. And more web traffic means the potential for more warm leads.

Often, a website structure consists of a header, content area and a footer, much like a typical letterhead for a small business. Websites follow this structural layout because it makes sense and it's comfortable, as in the US we read from top to bottom and left to right. That is except those magazine junkies who like to flip from back to front (you all know who you are). Following this scenario is fine, yet doing a few key things can make the difference between some web traffic and a lot of web traffic.

Key to gaining additional traffic for your site is ensuring that content and links are as high up the page as possible which will assist the search engine robots/spiders to crawl each page that these links go to. This is an area where a professional web designer can help. By implementing CSS (cascading style sheets), a real web professional can float key areas like content and navigation into a visual position that you want and at the same time code the page for search engine spiders.

In addition to code that places the "real" content of a page high in the structure, limiting the amount of code that a search engine crawler has to wade through can also help. Again, referring back to a web design expert, he or she can "externalize" some of the page code like CSS and JAVASCRIPT. Anything that you can do in reducing the amount of code will help the spiders do their job.

Make your website design easy for the spiders to follow and they'll make your website easy for potential customers to find. Contact the web design experts at infitech for assistance or consultation with your website design.
