Designer Recommendations - for SEO.
 

There are tons of 'designers' on this board, but I want recommendations from webmasters.

Which designers that also design a pay site that will also work with SEO?

Would you hire a plumber to fix your electric?

Two different brains IMHO. Two different services.

bump bump

probably you will need to guys to get done well this job, not only one

Designing a site is one thing. SEO is another thing. You have to think about

I am not asking the designer to DO the SEO, I am just wanting one that KNOWS that a site needs to be more than just all one big graphic space, leaving no areas for text SEO info to go.

it is tough to find designers who keep SEO in mind. If you need someone who can accommodate I have a referral and also an SEO guy as well. PM me

it all comes with requirements if you don't supply what exactly you want to achieve there is very little chance any designer will be spot on. outline everything in specs and requirements, supply content (images/text), say which text is important to be rendered as plain html text, now designer can considerably work in your requirements into a site design.

feel free to email me details at info silvercrocodile.com for a quote.

good luck!

These are separate services indeed

Those are separate services. Try consulting with the SEO provider first. After you have the initial structure/specs, have your graphics/coder design around the parameters set by the SEO. Just a suggestion.

yup this is just a case where if you want a design to be good for SEO and not all graphics and graphic text you just need to spell out to any good designer that you want less graphic text and more spaces in the design for real text. Designers can only design as good as you tell them to design and if you don't give them detailed instructions of what you are looking for then be prepared to be let down on the designs outcome.. :2 cents:

Start with SEO first then on design

As the other guys say, it's different minds. But you are right.. The best thing is to get a designer who keeps the SEO in mind, and makes sure most of the texts are outside the graphics

a designer should know about SEO. Doesn't need to be a pro, but simple stuff is required for sure.

Good luck, Boobgirl.
