Frequently asked questions about web design & development:
Here are the answers to some of the most common questions that get asked about web design & development.
How does web design impact SEO rankings?
Web design directly affects SEO by influencing site speed, mobile responsiveness, user experience, and how easily search engines can crawl your pages. A well-designed website helps reduce bounce rates, improve engagement, and signal quality to Google. Elements like clean code, structured content, fast loading times, and intuitive navigation all work together to support higher search rankings.
What makes a website mobile-friendly?
A mobile-friendly website is designed to work well on smartphones and tablets. This means the layout adjusts to smaller screens, buttons are easy to tap, text is readable without zooming, and images scale properly. It should load quickly on mobile networks and provide the same core experience as the desktop version. Google prioritizes mobile usability when ranking websites in search results.
How does site speed affect SEO?
Site speed is a key ranking factor in Google’s algorithm. Fast-loading websites provide a better user experience, reduce bounce rates, and keep visitors engaged longer. If your site is slow, users are more likely to leave before it fully loads, which can hurt your rankings. Optimizing images, minimizing code, and using quality hosting all help improve load times and SEO performance.
What is the best website structure for SEO?
The best website structure for SEO is clear, logical, and easy to navigate. It starts with a homepage, followed by well-organized main pages and subpages grouped by topic. Use internal links to connect related content and help search engines understand page relationships. A clean URL structure, proper heading tags, and an XML sitemap also improve crawlability and support higher rankings.
How can I make my website more Google-friendly?
To make your website more Google-friendly, focus on fast load times, mobile responsiveness, secure HTTPS connections, and clean code. Use relevant keywords in your content, write clear meta titles and descriptions, and organize your site with proper headings and internal links. Submit an XML sitemap through Google Search Console to help with indexing, and regularly update your content to keep it fresh and relevant.
Does having a blog improve my website’s SEO?
Yes, having a blog can improve your website’s SEO by adding fresh, keyword-rich content that targets common search queries. Each blog post creates a new indexed page, giving Google more opportunities to rank your site. Blogs also help attract backlinks, increase time on site, and build topical authority—all of which signal quality and relevance to search engines.
Why is HTTPS important for website SEO?
HTTPS encrypts data between your website and visitors, making it secure. Google considers HTTPS a ranking signal, so secure sites may rank higher than non-secure ones. It also builds trust with users by showing a padlock in the browser. Without HTTPS, visitors may see security warnings that drive them away, which can hurt both your traffic and your search visibility.
What is schema markup, and how does it help SEO?
Schema markup is a type of code added to your website that helps search engines understand your content better. It provides context for things like products, services, reviews, events, and FAQs. When used correctly, schema can enhance your listings with rich results—like star ratings or answer boxes—which improves visibility, click-through rates, and your chances of being featured in AI summaries or search snippets.
What is Core Web Vitals, and why does it matter for SEO?
Core Web Vitals are a set of metrics Google uses to measure real-world user experience on your site. They focus on loading speed (LCP), interactivity (FID), and visual stability (CLS). A site that performs well in these areas offers a smoother, faster experience, which Google rewards with better rankings. Poor scores can hurt your SEO by signaling that your site frustrates or slows down users.
How do internal links help SEO?
Internal links connect pages within your website, helping search engines discover and index your content more efficiently. They also guide visitors to related information, improving user experience and keeping people on your site longer. Strategically placed internal links can pass authority to important pages, boost rankings, and signal content hierarchy—making it easier for Google to understand your site’s structure and relevance.
