All of these elements work together with your links and appropriate behind the scenes coding to raise your profile as an authority.

- Design and Usability: The look of your site is still important and will often be the first impression people will have of you. You have to maintain a consistency throughout your site and with your branding, and choose the proper images as well as an intuitive navigation system that people will love using. There is also the KISS factor that works well for website design. All the bells and whistles such as flash and animation are overused and over rated. Responsive web design is another must so that people viewing your site will see it without getting frustrated regardless of what device they are using.
- Content: Content still remains one of the most important aspects of your website, but there is more to it than posting a weekly blog. Inbound marketing has changed the way content is viewed by search engines and visitors begging the question, who do you have to please? Search engines or potential readers?
