I’m constantly saying that my website is much more than a blog. If you look at the menu then you will see what I mean. So because my website is much more than a blog, I care about things like search engine optimization, load times, how well all the pages fit together, things like that. One of my most important concerns is my search engine rankings. I have even thought about going to a website optimization firm to increase my rankings. Most people use at least one search engine everyday they are on the internet, and if you are on the front page of their query, then your website will most likely get visited.
I don’t think I would go to a website optimization firm just for some SEO work, though. I’d probably incorporate Flash into my website if I did go to one. Nothing where the whole site is Flash based, but little bits of it here and there to spice it up a bit. Nothing like a little bit to make your visitors go wow right? I don’t think I would have one build me a new design though. I’d consult with them, but in the end I think I would do that myself, but I’m happy with the way things are turning out now, so it isn’t too much of a concern just yet.
