Clean, semantic code is one of the cornerstones of effective SEO optimization. At H1 Web Development, we adhere to not only industry-best practices to ensure proper search engine optimization, but also Google-recommended coding standards. Our semantic code enhances your page load speed and site security, while also ensuring that Google’s algorithms accurately interpret and rank your web content.

The speed of your page loading plays a bigger role in the success of your SEO than you may think. We optimize all your images for the smallest possible file sizes as well as reduce any excess code to ensure that your pages load as quickly as possible. Our sites use a global CDN and HTTP/2 standards to ensure the fastest possible page load speeds on your business website.

With over 50% of global web traffic coming from mobile devices, mobile-responsive design is non-negotiable when it comes to SEO. Each page of your custom web development project will be individually analyzed and optimized for each breakpoint to ensure the content is displayed in the best possible manner for every screen size. Our responsive coding practices enable your site to dynamically adapt to all screen sizes, which not only enhances your user experience but earns the favor of search engines.

URL structures and HTTPS encryption are all behind-the-scenes factors that we take into consideration when optimizing the search engine ranking potential of your custom website. All H1 sites come with an SSL Certificate to ensure the security of all customer data. We create clear, keyword-rich URL schemas and utilize correct sitemap XMLs to influence how Google perceives and indexes your site. With these SEO best practices, your site has the power to outrank your competition in organic searches.

The last step in our search engine optimization strategy is to create compelling SEO-friendly meta titles and descriptions that appear in search results. We stay abreast of Google’s evolving algorithms, prioritize natural language and user-centric content that’s packed with thoroughly researched keywords. We assign Image ALT tags to all images which further helps to earn Google's trust and elevate your search rankings.
