Reduce the Time it Takes Your Pages to Load

Because search engines hate websites that load slowly, you will be giving yourself a huge boost by selecting a CSS design for your website. Css is a way of keeping the code of a web page light, because the style properties are all kept in one place and don't need to be repeated ad nauseum. This was certainly the case with HTML.

Then, keep pictures as small as you can, while still retaining the desired effect.

Try and hire someone who understands how to optimize your code and tags. Having optimized META tags allows you to tel the search engines how you want to be seen, and which keywords you want to be searched for.

Website code should be as light as possible. The old way of designing in HTML was very heavy: most designs would take ages to load, and this needs to be avoided at all costs. So developers tried to create methods of building web pages that didn't take ages to load, yet gave the results we demanded in terms of good looks and usability.

For a long time, cascading style sheets were cutting edge. They not only allowed for faster production of visually stunning web pages, due to the fact that graphical aspects of design are controlled by one central style sheet, but they meant that code volume could be slashed. Now, most of the pages you see on the web owe at least part of their appearance to CSS, including this one.

Now though, we have several new technologies coming up that promise even more amazing results than CSS. More about those later (keep checking back).
