In fact, design is essential to drive the traffic once it lands. With a competent web designer who understands how content needs to be displayed, you can actually use design to your advantage. At the end of the day it's all about a happy medium. SEO may well bring in traffic but if you do not have a focussed, goal oriented design interface, it's all for nothing. Hi Natasha, absolutely.

One question - is there a happy medium betwen design and good SEO? My site is design wise average, but built entirely to be search engine friendly with an excellent CMS that enables search engines to read every word. No flash, no fancy bits, its all about visibility. I don't think I can even change the font of my site, all text is just basic (think this is to do with SEO!) I'd like my design to be improved, but not if it would compromise visibility. Hi Craig, thanks for this. One question – is there a happy medium betwen design and good SEO?
