Austin Web Designer

So doing the normal search engine optimization here in austin I was able to get another small business into first page on  one of the targeted  keywords. The keywords they wanted to rank for went from no where or 100 something in position to twenties and tens aka first and second and third pages.  Right now I am working on getting this specific business to show up more on google maps, I got them showing on first page on one of the main keywords on google map but I want the other targeted ones to start showing there too. Needless to say they are showing up more on less competitive keywords all over the place both on maps and normal search engine queries. By the end of the month, I plan to have atleast another of the competitive keywords on the first page.

It’s amazing how long it takes to get the site ranking but the potential business from being first page is what gives many of us patience. When SEO goes wrong or  done with haste a website can be penalized and banned from major search engines. And that is not good for anyone or business in general. Which is why when trying to get someone to do SEO for your site you should probably check for some past work.

Due to being extremely busy with life work and school i missed when my site got a google ranking of one. I am really pleased, what would take years to occur naturally took me some months with some SEO.

if you want to check your page rank i suggest you google search “whats my page rank”   go to one of the first few pages i suggest the first one, and insert your url, if you want to check mine just insert hectoronline.info and it should show you rank of 1 unless i get demoted
: ). Got to get back to projects

will soon show solutions to problems involving transferring databases

So I just finished a website for a local architect.I learned a lot from redesigning and redeveloping this website.

When people say update website I used to think it was B.S. but after going through the code on this particular site, I saw alot of errors. They might not have been errors when it was made but, they were now. These errors and mistakes may be no big deal to the site visually and will still look ok even with the newer web browsers but it does affect you in other areas you might not have thought about.

The website was up for about two years and it never showed up on search engines. The reason to this was that the site was using frames for a sideshow. As we all know one way to make sure your site doesn’t show up on search engines is to use frames. Each image was actually a web page itself, this was not only hindering the site on search engines but also making a site look way bigger than it actually was. The site with as it was set up with the frames and alot of extra unnecessary material was 25.9 MB, which is pretty big for a website with no multimedia. When I finished recoding it, the size went down to 10.5 MB and that was with about 8 webpages added to it, and one of them with alot of images. That is a big difference, the site now is lighter and loads faster.

Not only was the site using frames, there was basically no description to anything. So someone could see the website visually but if you looked at the code you could never tell what the website was about. The site was also made a few years back, so I had to recode it from scratch and make it validate with W3 validator. The site is now properly described and I am not doing any offsite SEO on it, so I think it should start ranking in a few months.

In all navigation was redeveloped, look was redesigned, and added a few extra functionalities. Clients were happy, its all good. As they way clients are always right.
