When businesses are getting ready to make a website. They always ask the question over and over: what is going to make this new website really work for their business?
SEO is often seen as “designing for Google”, while UX is viewed as “designing for people”. Many assume improving one hurts the other. At Cyberclipper, we’ve learnt the opposite is true. As a professional website design and development company, our job is to make SEO and UX work together, because modern websites succeed only when both are aligned.
In this article, we will explain SEO and UX in simple words, why focusing on only one doesn’t work anymore, and how the team at Cyberclipper combines both to create websites that not only rank higher on search engines but also turn visitors into real customers.
What SEO and UX Mean in Modern Website Design
Before we talk about balance, we should start with the things. We need to understand the basics simply.
Search Engine Optimization is the process that makes a website visible on Google and other search engines. It ensures that the search engines are able to read, comprehend and index a site correctly. Some of this includes the fast loading pages, the mobile-friendly layout, clarity in the content, and a robust technical infrastructure in the background.
User Experience User Experience refers to the way of using a website by real people. A positive user experience implies that the site should be easy to navigate, load fast and to market well. The visitors are supposed to get what they want readily and get things done like filling a form or buying something, without any difficulty.
People and search engines are central to what we are doing when we create websites. In the current world, search engines favor easy and pleasant to use websites. This is the reason why we consider SEO and UX as a single strategy. We also assist users to do better in search results by creating websites that are user friendly.
Why SEO Without UX (and UX Without SEO) doesn’t work
Search Engine Optimization and User Experience are like two pieces of a puzzle. They have to fit a website to be successful.
On the other hand, if you focus on User Experience without doing Search Engine Optimization people will not find your website. So you need to do both Search Engine Optimization and User Experience to make your website work well.
This is because Search Engine Optimization helps people find your website and User Experience helps people like your website.
If you do one without the other, your website will not be as good as it could be.
For example, a website can be pretty and easy to use, but if it does not show up in search results, it is not very useful. Similarly, a website can show up high in search results. If it is hard to use, people will leave right away. So you have to think about both Search Engine Optimization and User Experience when you make a website. This way, you can make a website that people like. That they can find easily.
SEO without UX
A web page can receive a ranking temporarily due to having numerous keywords or other technicalities have been transformed. However, when individuals visit the site and the pages are cluttered, the design takes so long to open, or when it is difficult to locate items, then they will immediately exit the site. When individuals exit a site within a short period and fail to achieve much on the site this sends signals to search engines to tell them that the site is not exactly worth visiting.
UX without SEO
So what is the point of a website that looks really good? Nobody can find it. A designed website that does not think about search engine optimization is like that. It may look great. People will not see it because it is invisible. The website needs to have a structure and the right metadata. It also needs to work on mobile phones and be fast. If a website does not have these things, then even the best designs will not get people to visit from search engines, like Google. A well-designed website needs these things to attract organic traffic from search engines.
At Cyberclipper, we see these issues often. Our approach to SEO- website design is to make sure the website is easy to use. We do this by following best practices that help search engines like Google understand and trust the Cyberclipper website. This way the Cyberclipper website works well for people and search engines.
How Cyberclipper Balance SEO and UX in Website Design and Development
Balancing search engine optimization and user experience does not happen by chance. It needs a lot of thought and planning when it comes to the design, development and content of a website. This is how our team does search engine optimization and user experience.
UX-Friendly Site Architecture
We make websites that are easy to use and navigate. This means that people can find what they are looking for on the website, and also easy for search engines to look through. We organize the pages of the Digital Marketing Website based on what the user’s trying to do. We do not just focus on keywords, which also improves visibility and also helps them stay on the Marketing Website longer.
Page Speed Optimization
Search engine optimization, as well as user experience, is quite dependent on the performance of a website. People get irritated when a site is not fast. Does not rank very well. Our development team ensures that the code and images are all working in sync such that the site loads fast in any device be it a computer, a phone or a tablet. We always monitor the performance of the site to ensure that it is good in terms of search engine optimization and user experience.
Mobile-First and Responsive Design
As individuals browse through their devices using the internet, we ensure that we make things in a mobile first design. It is the case that the content, the navigation and the interactions all scale to smaller screens, which is one of the things that Google considers to be pertinent to rankings. The first design is adopted to ensure that the content, as well as navigation and interaction, are all user-friendly on the mobile devices.
SEO-Friendly, People-First Layouts
We do not fill key words in places where they do not fit. Rather, we create pages in a natural manner where we use clear headings, useful internal links and easy content flow that is comfortable and helpful to real people without compromising NATO on SEO.
Content Readability and Accessibility
We create and edit content in such a way that it can be easily read and understood. Reading is made easier by clear headings, small paragraphs and clean fonts. The presence of such features as the good color contrast, image descriptions, and keyboard navigation works in favor of all users, besides ensuring better SEO.
