Hoping some of you can help me with this.. I tend to go the minimalistic route when it comes to design, but on the other hand, am afraid that that will have some repercussions on SEO.
If I’m going the minimalistic route, this means all my weblog posts will not have any short descriptions on the index and section pages, and rather, the user will have to click in on a post in the list to check it out. Practicality wise, for the user, this doesn’t hinder their experience much.. But SEO-wise, this may hurt my site and I’ll be paying for presentation possibly more than I should be..
If I go with a more blog-like approach, this means I will have short descriptions and titles as per as post in the index and their respective sections based on content type, however, I don’t like the drab look of a traditional blog.
I was wondering if any of you would recommend me stick with the short descriptions on the index and the sections and rather, use CSS to position it outside of the screen so that they are not visible to the eyes, but will still be visible in the HTML and to search engines alike.
Would love some input on this.. I envision an index with only images and titles.. 😊
Cheers,
Danny
