Making your website “Google Friendly” simply refers to optimse every single element on every single page
of your site. Therefore, when planning to create an online presence for your business, it is extremely
important that your site layout and content is optimized for search engines.
Do you treat your website like the guest bedroom in your house? Is it inviting and comfortable enough for the
guests to live in it. Are you considerate enough and decorate your bedroom that your guests might need?
The same thing happens with your website too. Your website also needs to be inviting and comfortable
enough for your visitors. It should look like that you have made an effort to ensure that all its given
information are quite pleasing for your visitors. Your website should look professional and should also
highlight that you are proud of your business and at the same time expects a lot of visitors at your site too.
3. Compare Your Homepage with the
Accessories of Your Guest Room
This is where your visitors get the first
impression after visiting your website. After
visiting the homepage, they will decide whether
to look further into your site or to hit the back
button.
Just as the beautifully designed wallpaper being
used in the wall of your guest room, the
vacuumed carpet, the clean and fresh sheets of
your bed, fresh flowers and a pleasant color
scheme as well as the long scented curtains
that make your guests comfortable in it.
In the similar way, your homepage should be
cushy and cozy for your visitors to browse it as
long as they want. They should be able to know
what your business is what all about and what
your homepage is trying to a say in short about
your website. Thus, your website’s homepage
should be furnished in a precise paragraph with
descriptive titles and relevant images.

“Bed”==“SEO Friendly Coding”
Just as the bed acts as the backbone of your bedroom, in the same way the coding structure being

As we know that a good mattress with clean sheets being spread on your bed definitely gets you a
comfortable sleep, similarly the codes being used in your website if applied properly definitely
makes your site SEO friendly and would help search engine bots to crawl the site properly.
For example, generally we use html codes in our website such as <br> used for line break. But
unfortunately, this is not appreciated by Google. What Google like is the use of <p> instead of
using <br> which denotes paragraphs by paragraph elements and not line breaks.
5. Making your website user-friendly
Are you considerate enough and leaves everything in
your room that your guest might need like shampoo,
perfumes, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc.
Just as these cosmetics and toileteries are extremely
necessary and essential for your guests to stay
comfortably in the room. Similarly some points need to
be keep in mind while making your site user friendly
such as:
1.Giving required information
2. Easy navigation
3.Less page loading time and lastly
4. Easy accessibility
These four tips are also extremely important for the
visitors to feel comfortable at your site and browse it as
long as they want.
6. Applying great designs to your website
As we feel that a good wallpaper of your guest room or the beautiful color scheme gives a soothing and a
pleasant effect to the eyes of your guests.
In the similar manner, a well designed website with good tinctures of colors as well as amazing curves of
designs definitely helps the visitors to feel your website comfortable enough to stay as long as they want.
The success behind a website being successful and user-friendly lies in the design of a website. The more
beautiful the design of your site is, the more visitors it will attract. Thus using responsive web design tools in
your website such as Apache, Dreamweaver, Photoshop etc gives a remarkable effect on your website.
Thus, it should be keep in mind while designing a website that –
"Most value and benefit is gained in the early stages of the site’s design"

all your pages as well as for the visitors looking for a specific page at your website. They
can browse your sitemap and find what they are looking for quickly and easily.

Before our guest gets into the guest room,
as we usually checks whether all the
accessories in the room are working
properly. Or the necessary cosmetics are
positioned at the appropriate place or not
so that they definitely feels comfortable
after checking into the room.
Similarly, the last thing before declaring
your website as a published one is to
browse around your website and to
verify whether all your links are working
properly or not. It is very
unprofessional if your visitors find any
of the link is broken or not working. So,
these things should be taken care of
before publishing your site.

are looking for.
