Creating an SEO Friendly Structure for a Craft Studio website in WordPress

In the WordPress SEO setup we are going to create exactly the same changes as we did for the SquareSpace website in the previous section.

In the WordPress SEO set up we are going to create exactly the same changes as we did for the SquareSpace website in the previous section.

This will give us our 4 key pages that search engines expect to see.

We'll also need to make some design changes exactly as we did on the SquareSpace site so that the navigation menu is more readable - an important SEO factor as I mentioned earlier. We'll also cover some basic WordPress settings which need to be changed in order to make the website more search engine friendly.

If you have already decided to use only SquareSpace then simply skip ahead to Choosing images for your Craft Studio website.

We'll start with the design changes:

w WordPress Step by Step
  1. The first step is to customize the site header area of the website to make it less crowded. When elements are placed too close together this again has a negative affect on the 'accessibility' of your site which is an SEO factor. So open your WordPress Admin Panel
  2. Click Customize.

  6. Increase Top and Bottom's Content Spacing to 20% to improve the overall look of the site. It's quite cramped out of the box.

Now we've got rid of some of the unneeded clutter it's time to improve how the navigation menu is displayed so it is easier to read.

Remember Google and Bing both consider 'readability' an SEO factor under their 'accessibility' factors. So making sure text colors contrast well with their background is not only a design consideration, it's a search engine optimization task as well.
