It’s amazing at all the Flash I still see on some sites. If Flash is used on a site it should be minimal. Since it’s not SEO friendly and takes up bandwidth when downloading a site. Faster loading sites are much better and search engine friendly if they don’t have a bunch of Ajax, JavaScript, and Flash.

I definitely think that paying attention to basic SEO adds extra value to web design – SEO, such as title and site architecture optimisation should be implemented right from the beginning of any web design project

These design tips are very SEO-friendly. You’re right about mentioning that keyword that will be included in the meta should be carefully researched. And yes, using strikethrough in hyperlinks is not user-friendly. What I do with links is that I put bold style in hover. For visited, a somewhat lighter color than the color of the hyperlink.

Great post. I think images and video that slow site down are a big problem. I also see people never use tags for images alot and flash can be a so slow on some sites.
