Despite tough economic times, and advertising budgets being pulled back in almost every sector I know of, companies are still recognizing the need to be different to stand out from the competition in such bleak times. Many of the prospects I’ve spoken to in the recent past have told me that they intend to get a fresh look by revamping their website, but of course, SEO wasn’t baked into that process. In fact, I’ve one lead even told me to ‘call him back in 6 months, once the design was done so we could revisit SEO for his site.

Communicating with non-seo web designers can be tough.  The seo manager needs to do code review on the entire site

Good article! Baking SEO into the design or redesign process is so critical and such a shame when it’s not done.
