SEO Rap Lyrics:
Your site design is the
first thing people see
it should be reflective of you and the
industry
easy to look at with a nice navigation
when you can't find what
you want it causes frustration
a clear Call to action to increase the
temptation
use appealing graphics they create motivation
if you have
animation
use with moderation
cause search engines can't index the
information
display the logos of all your associations
highlight your
contact info that's an obligation
create a clean design you can use some
decoration
but to try to prevent any client hesitation
every page that
they click should provide and explanation
should be easy to understand like
having a conversation
when you design the style go ahead and use your
imagination
but make sure you use correct color combinations
do some
investigation, look at other organizations
but don't duplicate or you might
face a litigation
design done, congratulations but it's time to start
construction
follow these instructions when you move into production:
your
photoshop functions then slice that design
do your layout with divs make sure
that it's aligned
please don't use tables even though they work fine
when
it come to indexing they give searches a hard time
make it easy for the
spiders to crawl what you provide
remove font type, font color and font
size
no background colors, keep your coding real neat,
tag your look and
feel on a separate style sheet
better results with xml and css
now you
making progress, a lil closer to success
describe your doctype so the browser
can relate
make sure you do it great or it won't validate
check in all
browsers, I do it directly
gotta make sure that it renders correctly
some
use IE, some others use Flock
some use AOL, I use Firefox
title everything
including links and images
don't use italics, use emphasis
don't use bold,
please use strong
if you use bold that's old and wrong
when you use CSS,
you page will load quicker
client satisfied like they eating on a
snicker
they stuck on your page like you made it with a sticker
and then
they convert now that's the real kicker
make you a lil richer, your site a
lil slicker
design and code right man I hope you get the picture
what I'm
telling you is true man it should be a scripture
if it's built right you'll
be the pick of the litter
everyone will want to follow you like
twitter
competition will get bitter and you'll shine like glitter
if you
trying to grow your company will get bigger
design and code right man can you
get with it
