Website Designing Factor for SEO friendly websites

There are many factor which essential to remember in Website Designing like using of frames , subdirectories , Graphics header , Graphics navigation menu etc.

* Using of Frames - Frames can impact many SEO-related issues as the separation of URLs can devalue the links coming to the page(s) and dilute the ranking power of a single document over multiples. There are technology solutions like CSS that can make framed pages usable, but classic HTML frames are particularly difficult to rank at the search engines.
* Avoid subdirectories - If there are not too many pages on your site (up to a couple of dozen), it is best to place them all in the root directory of your site. Search engines consider such pages to be more important than ones in subdirectories
* Graphic header - Very often sites are designed with a graphic header. Often, we see an image of the company logo occupying the full-page width. Do not do it! The upper part of a page is a very valuable place where you should insert your most important keywords for best seo.
* Graphic navigation menu - Internal links on your site should contain keywords, which will give an additional advantage in seo ranking. If your navigation menu consists of graphic elements to make it more attractive, search engines will not be able to index the text of its links. If it is not possible to avoid using a graphic menu, at least remember to specify correct ALT attributes for all images

Speeding Up Your Web Page

* Images - A good rule of thumb is to strive for no one image being larger than 10 Kb. you should call them in your HTML with the height and width specified in the image tag.
* HTML - Once you have your images down to a reasonable size, try streamlining your HTML. You will find sites out on the Internet that advocate removing all extraneous tags, to the point of removing the final and . You can remove all the unnecessary attributes created by some editors, and use the defaults of tags as much as possible.
* Page size - With small images and clean HTML, you can still end up with a page that takes forever to download because there is so much information. If you are striving for a speedy download, limit your page total size (including images) to about 30 Kb.
* Tables - Nested tables are a common cause of slow pages. They are so tempting to use as they improve the layout enormously, but they take a long time for the browser to render. It's not that the page didn't download, but with multiple tables in tables, the browser has to work harder to display the page. It cannot display any part of the page in the tables until it has figured out how to render all the tables that are nested.

Optimizing Bandwidth and Cleaning Out the Code

* Unwanted Spaces - we cleaned up in our website recently to save space and bandwidth. Spaces between tags are usually invisible on the screen, but they take up space. Check spaces If your web page editor permits multiple page search and replace, search and replace them
* Image Borders - By default, images do not have borders, but many web page editors automatically insert border="0" in their image tags. This adds up to 10 bytes per image which can be eliminated. The instructions for borders on images can be put into the style sheet if necessary.
* Excessive Comments - Web designers often use comments <--! Put mailing address here --> to help them with the layout of their coding in their HMTL and CSS pages. These are great, but they also take up space. Consider leaving them in your template pages and eliminating them in your final pages.
* Excessive Tabs - . It can help make the code easier to read but using bandwidth so remove all unnecessary tabs.

Low Barrier to Entry - Not that I've totally analysed the situation but I'd start a business as an online retailer who deals with everything to do with the internet such as websites, graphics, domain names, hosting, scripts, online ticket sales for sold out Australian bands, online marketing, SEO, ecommerce and Web 2.0 Website Marketing.
