Your Website-Important Elements To Remember


Usually when you read an article about "building a website" you see pointers like: make sure you emphasize, keywords in your title and your content, and definitely no keyword spamming. But usually, most articles skim over the elements of: 1) load speed; 2) sitemaps, and navigation. Why?

Usually, the writer assumes that it's no big deal, because everyone should know that they have to have these elements for users to get to their website's content.

Or, if you are new to building a website, load speed, sitemaps and your navigation is usually not at the top of your "to do list". I know, it wasn't at the top of mine! I knew I needed the navigation, but I definitely didn't have a clue about sitemaps, or if I could even tackle a sitemap. And, load speed meant nothing to me. But these elements are important.

And load time, Google is just beginning to sprinkle that feature into your algorithm, just to give users a better experience on your site.

With that being said, I have summarized my thoughts in the following article about these three elements, and how they work hand-in-hand at giving all a "user-friendly" experience.
