If you look at EasyAsFart’s design, you’ll see that it’s SUPER simple, it has nice looking fonts that are easy to read and are attractive to the eye. It has Custom Made Thumbnails.

In short, “simplicity” is the key to success.

Don’t overdo anything that’s GOOD. It will get boring or bad if you overdo it, eventually.

Riyaz Alam – Founder Of Set My Destiny

Riyaz is SEO expert, digital marketer, affiliate marketer and professional blogger.  Riyaz is currently living in India. Besides this, he is teacher who teach students about Digital Marketing etc.

So when I asked him the question, he replied:

Google prefer that websites/blog which are human friendly in design. By each passing day, Google is trying to offer more user friendly and personalized results. So the best design is what as an end user you would love to consume.
To serve better user experience, Google announces an update called “Mobilegaddon” last year in April 21, 2015. The sole purpose of this update was to help mobile user to explore websites more easily. Now, webmasters treat responsive layout as an important factor while planning a new design.
Here are few of the important factors one should consider while developing a website or blog.
1. Responsive Layout
2. User friendly interface
3. Friendly tone in content
4. Easily navigable
5. Fast loading time
6. Clutter free design
7. Easily readable and lovely fonts
Though there could be number of things to consider, I would suggest going natural. Think yourself as the audience while you are designing your website. If you were the actual visitor what would be your expectation.

Robin Khokhar – Founder Of Tricky Enough

Robin Khokhar was doing Job as an Internet Marketer (IM). Later, he decided to fulfill his dreams and he left the Job. He is passionate about Internet Marketing, SEO, Digital Marketing etc.

So when I asked him the question, he answered something unique:

Well according to me design is not a matter for Google on the basis of SEO. What most matters is the user experience of the users of the website. Although we are going to cover the content with ads and some other inappropriate things then Google is not going to love your pages, we might get a penalty from Google.
But I don’t think that SEO friendly design has any concern with the actual SEO.

Ravinder Dande – Founder Of Blogail

Ravinder is a passionate blogger and SEO Expert. He writes on many topics on his blog. He is currently living in Chandigarh, India. He is Graduated computer science student and he is too much interested in Robots 😛 . He is doing blogging from 2015 after reading so much articles over the internet. He know about blogging from 2013 actually.

When I asked the Gem about his answer, the reply was:

Design of any web page is the first thing that readers see on website. It’s structure or layout of site that you make for better user experience. We all try to make our blog look attractive but sometimes we forget about optimization of structure that google index as it is.

So if you are only trying to have cool look for blog and ignoring your readers even when Google take user experience into consideration while updating ranking of your website in SERP then you need to think about “what have you been doing ” again.

Well,

Now I think, you know the importance of ranking so having SEO friendly website is what you should think about before launching your website.

Lets come to the point 😉

From very first day of blogging I only choose clean and responsive blog design.

So once you got responsive design and fast loading design you will start getting good results in just few days.

Wait,

Last but not least , Navigation is equally important in web page as it tells search engine or readers about your most common category and pages on your websites.

In blogosphere, there is so much crowd so you have few second to attract readers with best design and content.

So try to make your blog design very responsive and mobile friendly and let google fall for you :p .
