They charge you an arm and leg to build a nice flashy site, then they charge you down the road to "SEO" a site. Its a double dip.

There are website building guidelines you should always follow such as google guidelines, w3c standards, yahoo guidelines, msn guidelines, etc....

Before anyone ever pays to have a site built, they should do some homework. If they fail to do their homework, then its their money they are spending and someone will always be there to take their money and do a bad job.

I always tell people, research the business that they are planning to use and demand to see a complete portfolio of sites the company built.

Design and SEO do go hand in hand, because google depends on historical data a lot of the time and changes in indexing are slow...

Build it right the first time....
