Don't Forget Your META Tags

When designing a website, make sure you include proper META tags in the HTML of each page. META tags are HTML code that enable the search engines to determine what keywords are relevant to a specific site.

About 80 percent of all web site traffic originates from the eight major search engines. It would be a good idea to make sure you've done your homework and fully understand how to optimize your web pages prior to designing your website. This will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.
