• Wix

• Webflow

If you prefer coding, use:

• HTML, CSS, JavaScript

• React or Next.js

Pick tools that suit your skills and goals.

• Adding keywords naturally

• Using image alt text and clean URLs

6. Speed Matters

A slow website loses visitors. Improve speed by:

Improve your site based on data.

9. Test on All Devices

Check your website on:

• Tablets

• Different browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox)

What works on one might not work on another.
