Search Engines, Web Browsers and Visitors all expect you to follow some basic design guidelines to make the site more readable, accessible and understandable.
  • Use a meaningful title tag on all of your pages
  • Include a meta description tag
  • Include a meta keywords tag - note most engines have ignored this since 2010
  • Optimise your website to make it load faster
  • Combine CSS files into a single, larger file where practical
  • Use absolute not relative links in HREFs to enable browser caching
  • Move JavaScript not needed during page load to the bottom of your page
  • Regularly scan and fix all 404s
