I already created the pages for our site, but I don’t
client comments create them. I’ve also heard that there are certain art director comments sense of what you have and where it
it becomes, until it’s almost impossible to make

is located. Websites — even those with only
things you should do to improve a site’s search

a small business like mine.
good organizational plan, making it easier to
modify pages later.
Once you have a handle on the organization, make
sure the pages link to each other properly. Visitors
get frustrated very quickly when they’re forced to
return to the home page every time they want to
jump to a different set of pages.
The last thing you should do is add page titles
and change file names to give a better indication
of what’s on each page. Doing so will make the
site more accessible to people with screen-reader
software, and it will also improve the site’s results on
search engines.
