"We are all equal on the web.
What differentiates you from your competitors is not how
big your company is or how much money you have to spend,
but how smart
your website is!"

EPNET's web design and communication
strategy. It's not what you say, it’s how you
say it. Strategic design is not about graphic design, it’s about
thought process. Websites are but a tool to get
information that builds the brand further. Articles and
material that help the person browsing the site can
achieve this.

Getting
Highly Targeted Visitors
We know both from research and our own experience that
most search engine users don't look any further than the
first page or two or the search engines' results. So if
your site doesn't appear there, then search engine
optimisation is certainly called for.
According to research by Pew/web and by GVU, close
to 85% of web users use search engines to find web
sites. On any given day on-line, more than half those
using the web use search engines. And more than
two-thirds of web users say they use search engines
at least a couple of times per week. Some 87% of search
engine users say they find what they want most of the
time when they use search engines.
So, given this high usage and acceptance by consumers,
search engine
optimization is a very cost effective way indeed of
getting visitors to come to your site.
And these visitors are pre-qualified, highly-targeted
visitors. They have sought you out.

How unique Design Can Affect Search Engine Rankings
Uniquely built web sites can create unique issues when
being promoted on the search engines. From a basic 3
page brochure site to a corporate site with hundreds of
dynamically generated pages, every web site needs to
have certain design aspects in order to achieve the full
effects of an SEO campaign. Below are a few points to
take into consideration when building or updating your
web site.
1. Size Matters.
The size of a web site can have a huge impact on search
engine rankings. Search engines love content, so if you
have only a few pages to your site and your competitors
have dozens, it's difficult to see a top page ranking
for your site. In some cases it may be difficult to
present several pages of information about your business
or products, so you may need to think about adding free
resources for visitors. It will help in broadening the
scope of your web site (which search engines like) as
well as keep visitors on your site longer, possibly
resulting in more sales.
2. Design and Graphics-Based Web Sites.
While web sites that offer the visitor a more
aesthetically-pleasing experience may seem like the best
choice for someone searching for your product, they are
the most difficult to optimize. Since search engine
robots cannot read text within graphics or animation,
what they see may be just a small amount of text. And if
we learned anything from point #1, small amounts of
content will not result in top rankings. If you really
must offer the visitor a graphics-heavy or Flash web
site, consider creating an html-based side of your site
that is also available to visitors. This site will be
much easier to promote on the search engines and your
new found visitors will also have the option to jump
over to the nicer looking part of your site.
3. Structured Design and Dynamic Web Pages.
If most of your web site is generated by a large
database (such as a large book dealer with stock that is
changing by the minute) you may find that some of your
pages do not get indexed by major search engines. If you
look at the URL of these pages they can be extremely
long and have characters such as ?, #, &, %, or = along
with huge amounts of seemingly random numbers or
letters. Since these pages are automatically generated
by the database as needed, the search engines have a
tough time keeping them up to date and relevant for
search engine users.
4. Design and Proper Use of HTML.
There is quite a bit of sub-par web design software out
there. Word processors usually have a way to create HTML
documents which can be easily uploaded to a site via
ftp. However, in many cases the code that the search
engine robots see is mostly lines and lines of font and
position formatting, not relevant content. The more
efficiently written web sites usually achieve higher
rankings. Our choice for web design software is
Macromedia Dreamweaver, as it is an industry standard.
It also makes using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) a
breeze, which can drastically cut down on the amount of
text formatting in HTML code. Hand-coding HTML to design
sites is also a good method if you are proficient
enough.
5. Choosing a Domain Name.
The golden rule to web development of any kind is to
keep your visitors in mind above all else - even search
engine optimization. When choosing a domain name, one
should pick either your business name (if you have a
high-profile business name such as Chapters or
Coca-Cola) or a brief description of your products.
Domain names can always help with search engine
optimization, as it is another area of your web site
that important keywords can appear. Forget about
long-winded domains such as
www.number-one-best-books-on-earth.com as no one will
ever remember it and it will be hard to print on
business cards or in ads.
6. Design Using Frames.
Don't use frames. Frames are a thing of the 90's (and in
the web world that is eons ago) and are not even
supported by some search engines. The search engines
that are able to index your site through frames will
most likely frown upon them. Whatever you are trying to
accomplish by using frames can usually be done with the
help of PHP includes or CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
Some browsers are not frames-compatible, so there is the
danger of some visitors not being able to see your site
at all. Bookmarking of individual pages within a frame
becomes difficult without lengthly scripts being
written.
7. Update Your Information.
Not only does information printed two or three years ago
look badly on your organization when it is read by a
visitor, it is also looked down upon by search engines.
Well designed Web sites that continuously update and
grow their web sites usually experience higher rankings
than stagnant sites. When the trick to SEO is offering
visitors the most relevant information, you can bet that
the age of web pages is taken into consideration by
search engines. Consider creating a section of your site
devoted to news within your organization, or have a
constantly updated resources area.

Search Engine Marketing South Africa |
 Getting
visitors to your website is something that EPNET Web
Design South Africa specialise in doing.
Here is just one of our many testimonials from a client
which sums up the power of a good search engine
placement:
We are astonished as to our placing on especially the
Google pages. We were never really aware of these
elements and how it can effect your everyday life work
and most important ones income and livelyhood.
We are also now very mindful of the use of our words in
our adverts and are using words as tactfully as possible
which we believe is now starting to pay us the
dividends.
I faithfully every morning monitor our "Hits" that you
send to us, of the previous day and record them on a
chart.
