6 Website Redesign SEO Secrets Your Developer May Not Know
If you’re redesigning a web site that has decent visibility in the search engines, you’re at risk of de-optimizing it and seeing some of your rankings drop or even disappear. We’ve seen some businesses get their web sites redesigned without consideration of SEO and end up with a site that could never be found in the search engines. About the worst case scenario is having your new design be an all-flash website.
Here are six issues you and your web designer need to keep in mind when redesigning your web site to preserve your rankings.

- Avoid duplicate content on eCommerce sites
- Properly redirect any renamed pages
