PROJECT MEETING                                       The more pages you add to a site, the more complex


            I already created the pages for our site, but I don’t

                                                              is located. Websites — even those with only
            things you should do to improve a site’s search
                                                              a few pages — should be designed with a
            engine rating — which is obviously important for
            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.
