Sure, the visual elements of your newly designed website will likely get the most attention, but remember: a great web design doesn't mean that much if if can't be found. If users can’t find your website via search, and if they can’t intuitively navigate through your site’s pages, let alone easily understand what information those pages contain, it doesn’t really matter how beautiful it looks.

 When it comes to your web design, form and function need to be a package deal. [Awkward keywords](http://www.bitwisesolutions.com/what-we-do/digital-marketing/seo-strategy), not thinking like a human, 301 redirects and [responsive design](http://www.bitwisesolutions.com/what-we-do/creative-services/responsive-web-design) are just a few items that are often overlooked. To help keep you on track, we've compiled **ten common SEO mistakes and the Bitwise approach to preventing them**, featuring tips and tricks from our team, and marketers who have dealt with redesigns in the past.
