While those elements are crucial to developing a successful website, one important contribution to prosperity is the design aspect of sites. Graphic design is responsible for not only making sites visually captivating, but for increasing levels of engagement and traffic. Below are some things to keep in mind when designing a SEO friendly site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep visual appeal in mind, especially because of first impressions.<\/strong> The first few seconds of exposure on a site are the most important, because that it is where users decide if they want to continue looking at the sure. The content needs to grab attention, but not overwhelm the visitors so that they leave. Utilize color affectively, and provide visual representation to keep engagement up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduce bounce rates with interactive and engaging content and design. <\/strong>Having a high bounce rate means that a significant number of users leave your site after only viewing one page, and this can damage you chances for SEO success. The key is to strategically use visuals like photos, videos, proper text hierarchy, and easy navigation to prioritize user experience and prompt them to continue exploring your site. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Remember the importance of optimized visuals and accessability<\/strong>. Having any visuals that aren&#8217;t in the correct file format can drastically impact the quality of your site. Opt to have them as web-friendly formats like JPEG, PNG, or SVG. File names are also important, so name the files in a descriptive way so that search engines can relate that image to the rest of your content. Captions and alt tags can also improve accessibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mobile design is imperative.<\/strong> With the rise of technology in this generation, your website must be able to be accessed on a variety of platforms, especially for cell phones. The design for a computer and for a mobile device must be similar on all aspects, while functioning seamlessly. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Graphic design isn&#8217;t just about making your site aesthetically pleasing, because design is truly the glue that keeps websites running. From enhancing engagement, to keeping the designs consistent, the impact that graphic design has on SEO cannot be denied. By prioritizing the user through graphic design, you increase the likliehood of success for a site. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Search Engine Optimization (SEO) utilizes digital marketing to appeal to users, typically involving keywords, target users, and links.
