Website designers and developers do not develop websites keeping in view the SEO of website. They just care about the functionality. But a great product without marketing is useless.
I created this presentation to educate the developers and designers about basic SEO elements they should consider while creating a new website.
If some things can be taken care of at initial stages then it can result in greater overall success later.
Hope others will find it useful too.
