True, there are issues with clients themselves… we have an ongoing client education program.

We have also found that web designers have caught on… they’re becoming obsolete in the way they’ve always been viewed.

It’s not longer worth putting pretty pics on your site… if it can’t be found, who cares how good they look?

Being able to use today’s buzz words… SEO optimized, etc creates an illusion for a business owner. It’s one thing to know the words and conceptually what they mean, but if there is no “practical application knowledge” to go along with the vocabulary, it’s no good either.

SEO companies that truly are that, have a very bright future… designers without the practical application knowledge are serving it up on a silver platter.

I think the problem is not the designers but the clients themselves, they automatically think they will be found in the search engines.

However, as 2010 approaches small business are catching up and more and more SEO companies are being born.

These mistake made by designers create more business opportunities for others.

I can appreciate this post even though I am a ‘designer’

While providing the best design solutions for a client these other elements must be considered. It’s great to have a pretty website, but it needs 2 other things to make for a happy client that is getting results:

1) Appropriate calls to action
and
2) Search engine optimization…and/or social media marketing

There’s no point in having a pretty website if you can’t be found, and then when you are found…if you allow that visitor to become a tire kicker and not a ‘lead’ by getting them into the contact flow.

Again, great post, you bring up some important issues.
