Mortgage Website Designed in CSS
Our latest design is done completely with CSS (Cascading Style Sheet), what this means is that the pages have been created in the best possible way for the search engines to spider them. Typical websites are designed using tables to position all of the elements of the page (photos, menus...), CSS design allows you to position each element without using tables. The reason this is advantageous is that the code required constructing tables’ acts as a deterrent to the search engine spiders reading your web pages. When tables are used to layout a web page they dictate and also limit the flexibility of the order in which your page content can be presented to search engine spiders for reading. For example a normal web page designed using tables presents the navigation and other code needed to build the page first then finally the header phrase and content at the bottom of the page. With CSS your page content is completely separated from the code that determines the page style – this means your pages read just like a book, heading phrase, main content, second heading phrase...and then navigation. The search engines read the important information first and this is a big advantage! Your pages are also very light, they only contain the information pertaining to the message you want to deliver to your visitors and the engines, everything else is off page in the CSS file.
This standard CSS design mortgage website has four options for the home page:
Separating the content from the presentation not only has major benefits with search engines, it also benefits by providing a site that is more accessible to more people and is flexible with the way it can be displayed, whether the user wants to view the site on a handheld device or simply print out a formatted copy. Building sites like this means as the Internet and its technology evolves and improves over the years sites like this will continue to be usable and forward-compatible.
