SEO basics for a designer?

[Doodled]

Go through this step by step guide:

It will give you the bare bones of what you need to know when you are building a website with SEO in mind.

Really SEO is so fundamental at the moment that it needs to be integrated into the design rather than left as a separate process afterwards so if you are going to progress as a web designer you have to get your head around Search Engine Optimisation asap.

All too often I take work off web designers because they say "SEO isn't my role" and I end up both building the site and doing the optimisation so be warned ;-)
