Hello Eric Your ideas is great for SEO friendly website and blog. I would like to raise the issue of layout that should be responsive – Responsive design has a boatload of positives and opens the door to content parity across multiple devices. One of the difficult parts about it is when you’re serving the same code base up to both a 27-inch Thunderbolt display on a broadband connection and to a 3-inch screen on with a 3G connection on two bars. You have to understand the two different contexts and make sure you are doing your users some favors based on what kind of content you are loading for each experience.

Well, few days ago my blog’s design also sucked but than I came upon an article where I read that your website design really matters in SEO and gathering visitors so I generally stepped back quickly grabbed some money and bought some cool and attractive yet SEO friendly themes for my blogs which are working well now.

Your post was very amazing Erik, keep writing!

Great Insight Erik,

The way we view websites is changing like never before. Website design is a decisive factor for building trust with online consumers. A custom, high-impact, user-friendly business website design will not only increase customer loyalty and engagement, but help convert new leads to loyal customers by presenting a professional brand image.

Html5 has a ton of potential for advancement to be made in the web; however one needs to understand the patterns of the markup language before structuring or presenting content with it.

Hi Erik,

Yes I’ve a responsive theme 😀 It’s working well even if I’m using from phone or from laptop.

I think the biggest issue one comes in front is to not having a user friendly or mobile friendly. Some themes take a longer time in loading this is another cause of changing theme.

By the way this post is amazing. I’d found your blog on donnamerrill tribe where she’d mentioned you on their list of amazing bloggers. I’ve also great infographic of website theme on my blog too. But, this post really help me to know more 😉

I’ll visit soon to know more tips 🙂

Hi Erik,

Great points you’re making.

Fist off, I know that my blogs could load faster, just nothing I can do about this at this. Hopefully it will get better when I get a new design.

As for the colors. I have one red, one blue and one green and in my case, it’s the red that wins, and I also know many big bloggers whose sites have red headers like mine and do great with traffic, however, I do know that we are influenced by color, so that’s something to consider.

I have no idea what HTML 5 is, but I’ll check that one up.

Thank you for bringing those points up. Very important to put as many positive factors on our side to attract more traffic.

Great job Erik,
Website design is the first impression of any site. Therefore it plays most important role in building authority and trust from the visitor. You said to avoid ready made templates. I really agree with your point but for the newbie bloggers there is no way without using ready made blogs.

Thanks –

Ciao, Erik,

This is a great article, and I resonated with many of your points.

I completely agree with the elements you mention, and quickly click off of the site if it takes a long time to load. Who has time for that? I’ve seen some bold and flashy colors lately, and I’m not a fan, that’s for sure. I also click the back button extremely fast in this situation.

Trust is a huge factor for me, and I can tell within five to 10 seconds whether or not I’m interested in this person based on the vibe I get when landing on their site in viewing everything visually.

Layout is definitely a huge component that I put a lot of weight on myself. I strategically place certain elements in specific locations so as to increase and encourage visitor flow and conversions, whether it be subscribers to my list or purchases.

Great content, keep up the good work.:-)

Sharing with friends…
– Carol
