Both have their own importance. Ignoring one can harm your site with lower traffic, which doesn’t solve our purpose of having a Business site.

I definitely think that you do have to strike a balance between good design and content for SEO. Afterall, the way that your page is laid out, and the usability of the site is important, and it must look professional, and trustworthy, especially if it is for your business to make money. I think, though that the point that you are trying to make is that over designing your site, and focusing on the imagery and cool effects is not going to help you with SEO. This point, I agree with, as your content IS the most important thing, and should be presented in a way that is usable, friendly, and not clouded with extraneous code and graphics. When in doubt, go clean and simple. Great post!

I knew that there exist people who still overemphasize the importance of design… ;-)

I think that seo and design walk on the same track….

Both are the same important….. Seo for search engine and design for visitor coming back….(repeat)

Sometimes i do click “close” if the site take longer time to upload. And we know that sometimes design may give longer uploading time. But both design and SEO are important. Then i realized that with some modification, good design will not give longer uploading time. We may use .png instead of .jpg for graphic file for example…

unfortunately, content isnt the only one anymore. other factors like marketing and design contributes as important as content.
a good design makes it easy to readers to take desired action by the author such as subscribing, reading more content, signing up, etc

Hi, great post!

I think there has to be a happy medium, with a clean design and a lot of quality content a site can go a long way. As a content writer, I am bound to prefer sites with great content, but I like to site to look well designed also.

My commercial site is a landing page and I think has an attractive design. It is a dificult task to promote it though. I have been building backlinks steadily over the last few months though and keep finding new ways to promote it.

I agree that keeping things simple is best. Like you have done, with professional looking graphic touches such as the bullet points and the odd image here and there.

For some sites that don’t need return visitors such as landing page sites, I think you can relax on the visual quality though.
