search engines
Technologies like scrolling marquees, markup embedded video clips and masses of images compromises accessibility, download speed and search engine optimisation.
Statistically, Internet users will wait no longer than 18 seconds for a website to download, so no one is going to see your 'flash looking' website, even if the search engines do manage to find it. Aesthetics is no substitute for good practices and lean markup!
As for search engine optimisation, if sites are built to the proper technical standard and good working practices applied, the end result is pages that rank highly with any search engine. Don't be conned into paying extra.
A JDP designed website is built to a very high technical standard and comes fully optimised for high search engine rankings.
Registration
When companies tell you they will register your new website with 1,000's of search engines take it with a pinch of salt. Software generated mass submissions are ignored by all the major search engines, and any reference to your website will appear on a search engine so obscure that no one will ever have heard of it.
A JDP built website will be 'manually' registered with the following major search engines - free of any charge!
- MSN
- Alta Vista
- Alltheweb
