So, for every SEO tactic you know, you would do well to learn a web development tactic right alongside it. Here are a few different tactics you can use for your site.
It is always good to add a favicon to your website. The favicon is a 16x16 image file in the. Icon format. This image is the one you see next to the URL bar, next to the title of the page on an opened tab and is also visible on your bookmarks tab if you choose to bookmark a page. The favicon will help users quickly recognize your page in their browser without reading any text or directly viewing the page.
Get familiar with your subject. If you will be offering informational content, you need to have a firm grasp of your subject matter. Being unclear with customers or giving false information will drive readers away. You need to understand the subject to write a good blog.
It is imperative that all of your webpages have titles. Forgetting to include titles while developmenting your website can have disastrous consequences. The biggest reason is that it makes your website look unprofessional when there is no title, both on the webpage itself, and also on a search results page. Search engines also place heavy emphasis on titles when determining the content of your website. Remember to utilize keywords, and make your titles descriptive.
Use breadcrumbs and make it so that clicking on the site logo returns you to the homepage. Breadcrumbs are markers that show where the visitor is in the site structure. For instance, the breadcrumbs might read "home > furniture > beds." When the user clicks a link in the breadcrumbs, he can return to a page further up in the site hierarchy. Clicking on a business logo should generally take the visitor back to the homepage as well.
Try to code using only CSS. We're moving away from table-based sites to only CSS sites because they are reusable, accessible, and they can greatly reduce your file sizes. This allows you greater control of the appearance of your site. There are various CSS resources you can use, therefore, knowing CSS is invaluable to web development.

Some of the slight differences can cause navigation to be difficult for the user. Using available resources, determine which browsers are the most popular among your target demographic.
