<p>Search engine optimisation (seo) is the online marketing arm of website development and involves making changes to the content, code and structure of a website to make it more search engine friendly in order to rank higher in the natural (organic) search results.</p>
<p>By ranking higher for keywords and phrases in the search engine listings, you can benefit from receiving higher volumes of search traffic at no extra cost.</p>
<p>A search engine marketing strategy consists of various code, content and design elements in order to create a search engine friendly website. This includes making changes to title, description and keyword tags, writing optimized content based on selected keywords, creating seo friendly url&#8217;s and building high quality links from other relevant sites. </p>

<p>Wireframing is one of the most valuable parts of the web design process and can save hours of design time and rework by being specific about a site’s architecture, functionality, and content before beginning with a visual design. Only many projects I&#8217;ve worked closely with the design teams to ensure that usability for the visitor is optimised, while creating a great looking website.</p>
