Don't let SEO the last to be considered. Despite some warnings, a lot of webmasters and web designers are still committing this fatal mistake. At all times, put SEO in mind; even when you are just starting the web design of your site.

You might think that so much information about web search engine optimization has already been disseminated. But mind you, a number of my clients who seek relief have disregarded the importance of SEO in designing their sites.

And they aren't alone. Earlier, I have read a sad plight of a website owner who has to start all over. The story can be found here.

The aesthetic, functionality, and SEO aspects of the website should never be compromised, that is. So to preclude you from the detrimental 'start over' situation, find the balance between those aspects. You can have a good grasp of what to do by reading this article. Be cautious. Only then you can save much time and effort.
