If only all web designers had that attitude! I agree that all sites should be built with SEO in mind as there are so many things that can go wrong if this is not done correctly. Many small business owners trust designers to create a site that is perfect in every way, but the unfortunate truth is that many designers make the front end site look good and cut corners on making it SEO ready. This is why WordPress is a great tool for small business websites, as the owners can easily use plugins and simple changes to improve their SEO.

I totally agree with everything you said in this article, especially “I’d say that’s pretty impressive coming from a web designer; it says they have a holistic understanding of their craft and don’t just see it as “making a pretty digital brochure” which no one is likely to find.” You’re right having a good looking website is not enough to succeed. SEO is one of the key to success.

@ David – I should have pointed out that in this case, it just means he wants them to have a road map for the site. He just doesn’t want to build a site for someone and leave them with the false hope that left alone it will all of a sudden get traffic. I had this conversation with a prospect recently, who said “I really need a new site…I’ve got one that no one can find.” In the end, he learned that the new site would have the same problem unless he actually did something to drive traffic to it and he is on board for an SEM campaign now.

@ Oelando – Thanks for sharing and I am sorry about your past experiences. I am bit on education, and as you mentioned business owners need to figure out what is within their ability (for example most people can blog) and what is not and then make steps towards progress. Having a roadmap is key so they know what they should be considering along the way.

@ Daniel – In this world we live in, documentation is everything. I had this discussion with another colleague yesterday at to whether or not we should have clients that “just want a web created” sign a disclaimer saying they understood that they were responsible for marketing their own website. We were kidding, but there is some truth to it. We live in a blame society where so many want to point a finger instead of taking ownership and finding solutions. As far as losing business to competitors because of how someone wants to do business, one would have to be in a place where they know their ideal client and don’t want or need anything outside of that model client. If that model works for someone, I won’t knock it.
