Getting a good search engine ranking is first and foremost about having quality content in your website. From our experience, many people we speak to in Malaysia seek to achieve No 1 position when launching their websites for the very first time.
This is usually an unrealistic expectation even if you have great content, as your need to allow time for incoming links to your website to grow and for your domain to age in the search engines.
In our Web Design section, we mentioned about the CLP Rule for Website Search Engine Optimization. CLP stands for:
You will need to build up your credibility on the web. Just doing a good job with your web design and web content is not good enough.
By Larry Lam
There is no doubt that the quality of web design services has improved greatly in recent times. Over the years we have seen skills improve throughout the industry, better design techniques being used and a greater awareness on the part of web surfers of what constitutes a good or bad design.
Web design skills and techniques notwithstanding, what are some of the basics you need to get right?

EP Borneo is a member of Australia-based Enviro Pacific Group, a leader in non-toxic and bio-degradable products in the construction cleaning and maintenance industry.
This project involves a revamp of EP Borneo’s existing website. Our client’s brief was to create a website with a more consistent design with its parent company website, in terms of colors, layout and page width. Most of the content remained in tact, while the Product section was revamped to ease the user’s navigation between the various products from the extensive product range.
