Rental Villa Website Design with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Rental villa website design Overview

A few years ago it suddenly became obvious to all villa owners that they had to have a website to try and generate bookings through the internet, to show the website address in adverts and to link to from other villa websites. But now, as everyone has a website the challenge is to be ahead of the pack, what is needed now is to have Search Engine Optimisation in order to be able to be ahead of the pack.

So, what is Search Engine Optimisation? Search engines are built using Bot's to read websites, these are pieces of code that are always moving around the internet, finding new content, readying through it and trying to index the content. The more the website matches what the Bots are looking for, and a few other things, the better a website will appear in the search results for a set search, this is a summary of Search Engine Optimisation. In other words if your site was built perfectly and had the right number of keywords, website structure, external links and more, then you would rank number 1 in the search engine when someone searched, for example, for "Private Villas In Florida". Search Engine Optimisation is a fine art but have a Search Engine Optimised website will make a big difference in your web traffic and therefore your bookings.

Below I explain a basic overview of some of the main elements that are involved in Search Engine Optimisation and the benefits of using them. All of these examples and a lot more are included in any website we build for you.

Website Design Structure

A Major part of a Search Engine Optimisation with a Villa Website is the basic structure of the page. There are 2 parts to a page design with SEO, the first is the layout that the customer sees and the second is the layout that the Search Engine can see. Web pages are written in HTML language that is then transferred into the images and text that you see in your browser, what we are able to do is create the design of the page just how we want it but just looking at the HTML the layout of the page is almost upside down.

This is more easily described visually. If you look at the 2 images below, the first image shows the basic shell of a page layout and this is designed obviously to have a heading, then the main body of the text and then a footer at the bottom with links to some standard information. This is the typical page design and what someone visiting a website would expect to see. In image 2 this shows the Search Engine Optimisation design part of the page. This is important as this means that the search engine will look at the page content first rather than looking at the same header that it has seen on every other page. It is generally believed that Search Engine Bot's will only read a certain sized part of a page file and so it is important that the content you want it to read is shown on the page first.
