Tables are the Devil & Your Website is Hell Online

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Tables used to be the standard for building and laying out websites.

Optimizing Title Tags

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Optimizing your website for search engines can be a little tricky.  We’ve covered the basics in our Beyond the Buzzwords: SEO article about what’s important to search engines, but we didn’t really delve into any techniques.  Here we’ll go over what’s important to have in your title tags for each page.

  1. Different Title Tags – you want each page to have a different title tag.  Go to your website and flip through a few pages.  If your site title is the same throughout (most likely your company name), you’re going to want to change that.  (more…)
