Ever since the advent of online trading and exchange, web designing and web development has gained wide spread popularity. It became one among the building blocks of an online business success. Though there is a clear distinction between web designing and web development, with the advancement in technology there could be a number of crossovers between the two. Earlier it was just that people used the terms interchangeably, but now there are things in common between the two.

In simpler terms, the disparity between web design and web development can be stated as, web design deals with the front-end of the website and web development works on the back end functionalities of the website. It is significant that whichever technology used for designing the website should be attuned with the site development technology so that all functionalities can be incorporated.

Web designing in brief involves designing the layout of a website using graphical elements and other technologies. Graphic programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia and Corel Draw etc are used for crating the website design or lay out. The client requirements are properly analyzed before any website is put through for design phase. The resulting outlook will not have embedded code which will establish the required functionalities of the website. It’s like the building bricks just being aligned without having the bonding in between them. This graphical representation in then used by the base for coding by the web development team. It could be the same team handling both web development and design. The graphical frame will include portions where coding is required to implement the functionalities as well as purely graphical areas which can be left out.

The web development part should make sure that the development and coding of all server side applications, database design and complex transactions are all done in a sensible manner while being competent in code and highly attuned. It is the web development phase which enables the website to perform as per the client necessities. Though the development activities are not noticeable to the end user, they will experience it while browsing the website. An optimized website offers smooth loading and transition from one page to another and all the links active.

A professional web development team can make the website function fast and proficiently with good constancy. It is found to be far more efficient when the design and development is carried out by the same time. The advantages of having both parties involved together will add to the website’s aesthetic look and feel.

Getting keywords with sites who use frames

Jan 22

Posted by admin in Technology, Web Designing | No Comments

When it comes to framed sites and the effect that the use of frames by a site has on its search engine ranking, there are two schools of thought. Some people say that framed sites, if done properly, have no problems in getting good rankings in the search engines. Others claim that if search engine optimization is important to you, never use frames.

In my opinion, the truth lies somewhere in between. Yes, the use of frames does throw up a few issues when it comes to getting good rankings in the search engines which don’t understand frames. Hence, when you are designing a new site, I would recommend that you avoid using frames, unless you have a specific reason for doing so. However, if you already have a site which uses frames, all is not lost. You can still get good rankings in the search engines even though you have used frames. Furthermore, using frames also has its own advantages when it comes to search engine placement, as we shall later on. This article assumes that you have a working knowledge of frames.

In case your site uses frames, the key to getting good rankings lies in using the NOFRAMES tag. The NOFRAMES tag is intended to help framed web sites display some content for those people who are using non frames enabled browsers. The search engines which don’t understand frames also look at the NOFRAMES tag. Hence, if you are using frames, you need to add content to the NOFRAMES tag.

What you should do is to add a complete web page within the NOFRAMES tag. Ensure that this page repeats the important keywords for your site a number of times. Also, in order to ensure that the content within the NOFRAMES tag is as prominent as possible to the search engines, you should put the NOFRAMES tag right after the FRAMESET tag. However, don’t put the NOFRAMES before the FRAMESET tag. If you do that, Internet Explorer will display your site correctly but Netscape will display the content present in the NOFRAMES tag, rather than the content present within the frames. Furthermore, you should also place a link to the page containing your navigation links in the NOFRAMES tag. This ensures that the search engines are able to spider the internal pages in your site.

Here’s what the source code of your page might look like:

<html>

<head>

<title>Put an attractive title which contains keywords</title>

<meta name=”description” content=”Put an attractive description which also contains keywords”>

<meta name=”keywords” content=”Your target keywords separated by commas”>

</head>

<frameset border=”0″ cols=”150,75%”>

<noframes>

<body>

<h1>Heading containing keywords</h1>

<p>Here, you should add a lot of content and should repeat your keywords a number of times.

<p>More keyword rich text for the search engines.

<a href=”left.html”>Link to page containing navigation links</a>

</body>

</noframes>

<frame src=”left.html” name=”left” scrolling=”no” noresize>

<frame src=”main.html” name=”main” scrolling=”auto”>

</frameset>

</html>

One problem that occurs when you use frames is that the search engines may often display one of the internal pages in your site in response to a query. If this internal page does not contain a link to the home page of your site, the user will be unable to navigate through your entire site. The solution, of course, is to add a link to the home page from that internal page. When the visitor clicks on that link, she is brought within the context of the frames.

However, simply adding a link to the home page presents yet another problem. If the visitor had already been viewing that page within the context of the frames and then clicks on the link to the home page, a new set of frames will be created in addition to the frames already being used. In order to solve this problem, you have to use the TARGET = “_top” command in the link, i.e. the HTML code for the link would be something like

<a href=”index.html” TARGET = “_top”>Go to our homepage</a>

Wrapping things up:

As I mentioned earlier, there is also an advantage to using frames. Since most Internet users are now using frames enabled browsers, it means that not many people are going to know what’s present in your NOFRAMES tag. This allows you the repeat your keywords a few more times in the NOFRAMES than what you could have done if you were writing a page which humans would also see (of course, don’t repeat the keywords too many times – that can cause your web site to be penalized for spamming). You can also avoid using tables, graphics etc. which you would otherwise need to use if humans would also view that page. However, it is debatable whether this small advantage is sufficient to justify using frames.
