Design is not about how your site looks , it about how your site functions.Design combines textual content and graphic content to create a website.An SEO optimizes this design to suit the need of the users and SEs.

It is certainly true with every website that the design helps communicate the right message, because it can evoke emotions. But design alone cannot save content. Good point to spread. I try to spread the same message to others so they don’t get lost in either focusing too much on either side and give a more balance approach to their blogs.

Todd, this article is simply brilliant.

As a writer, I’ve often fallen into the trap of “is it well-written?” rather than considering things like site usability and appearance.

The thing about it is this: I’m a good writer. I wouldn’t be making a living at it if I weren’t. I’m not the best; not by a long shot. But my content is the one area I rarely need to struggle with, yet it is the one area I consistently do struggle with.

Thank you so much for this. I’m off to contemplate some site design right now!
