How to select a website template

The previous tutorial has taught you how to select a website program that suits you. After you select a program, you need to install our program. It is generally not difficult to install the program in just a few minutes, due to the large number of programs, I will not explain how to install them one by one. The subsequent tutorials will focus on the installation and optimization of wordpress and z-blog, this course describes how to select an appropriate website template.

No matter what website program you choose, you must consider the following when selecting a program template. So when you select a template, consider these factors as much as possible. These are all from the seo perspective. A good template, it must comply with seo and win users' preferences.

1. customization of title tags

The template title must be changeable, not only the title of the homepage, but also the title of the category page and the title of the article page, and those who have participated in our public welfare training and VIP training, in other words, SEO-based students should all know the importance of the title, and the titles of each page inside the website should not be the same. Therefore, when selecting a template, you must select a title label that can be freely modified.

2. Static URL and customization

This includes two points. One is that the template supports pseudo-static. In this case, when selecting a space, I also told you to select a space that supports pseudo-static. The same is true when selecting a template, the template must support pseudo-static; the URL customization means that when writing an article, we can write our own URL. Of course, the previous part is fixed, you can write the article ID by yourself. The specific example will be detailed later when you write the wordpress tutorial and the Z-blog tutorial.

3. customization of meta tags

Meta Tags refer to meta keywords and meta description, that is, keyword tags and description tags. They are basically useless to SEO. If you think they are useful, you should write them carefully, if you think it is useless, simply delete this tag and describe the tag for the user. Of course, you must carefully write it. If the user sees your website in the search results, click it, it depends largely on whether your description is attractive and clear enough. In addition, the description labels of each page (including the classification page and Article Page) must be different and related to the page content.

4. tag Function

When publishing an article or product, you can enter a tag. The system automatically aggregates the content according to the tag and generates a tag page.

5. customized navigation structure

The template should allow us to modify the navigation layout, including the adjustment of the navigation color, navigation size, and drop-down menu.

6. DIY modules

The template supports adding, deleting, and adjusting the module location.

7. Automatic Map generation

The template must be able to automatically generate xml website maps so that we can submit them to the search engine. If you do not have the automatic map generation function, you must at least support the automatic map generation plug-in of xiangguang.

8. Generate related articles

The template can generate relevant articles at the bottom of the Article Page, enhance the relevance of the article, and promote the updates of the data included in the article.

9. website links

This refers to the inner link, that is, the automatic generation of the inner link. Adding links to each article is a tedious task, or webmasters may often forget it. If it is a blog, if it is like our SEO interactive forum, the content of websites that are completely out of the control of webmasters. If tens of thousands of posts need to be added manually every day, it is very troublesome. At this time, if the system supports setting keywords and links in the background, and then automatically generate the link in the article, we will be much easier.

10. Correctly generate the H tag

In a website, the key level is second only to the title label. Some templates automatically generate the H1 and H2 tags, but they are not necessarily correct, some templates may place the website name in the H1 tag on all pages, which is incorrect. On the homepage, our title tag contains the website name. On the classification page, the H1 label should contain the category name, And the H1 label on the article page should contain the title name.

11. Page flip Control

This means that we can define the number of articles placed on a page by ourselves. Page turning is controlled to reduce the click distance between each article and the homepage. I believe everyone understands this interest.

12. Image alt attributes

Many new webmaster friends often use the Baidu webmaster platform to detect websites and find that Baidu prompts that the alt attribute of the image is not filled in. At present, Baidu still has some difficulty in capturing images. Therefore, we need to add instructions to the images. This alt attribute is used to describe the images, therefore, when selecting a template, consider whether the alt attribute of the image can be automatically generated, or whether the alt attribute can be manually entered.

13. Special CSS Processing

Some templates may be downloaded in different colors, but we don't like them very much. We need to modify them. Normally, this function may not be provided in the background, we need to modify these color styles through the css file. For example, manwu's z-blog is used as a famous Lusongsong template. People who know z-blog should know that lusongsong templates are basically rampant online, there are too many people to use, so to avoid such a bad phenomenon (at least manwu thinks this is not very good), we will modify this template file substantially. If you are interested, you can compare the modified blog with the lusongsong blog.

14. Simplified code

Many webmasters may not care much about this. In fact, a simple website is very friendly to Spider. With the same function, you can use hundreds of lines of code to implement it. Others may use two or three lines of code to implement it. This is the simplified code. The code is streamlined, which facilitates crawling by the spider, reduces the burden on the server, and saves website space.

Of course, a perfect template should be considered much more than above. For example, there are still 301 turns and the elimination of Duplicated content. However, it is not easy to find a perfect website template, therefore, when looking for a template, consider the above factors as much as possible. Do not pursue perfection too much. Otherwise, it is very difficult to find a fully compliant template. Therefore, after downloading the template, you must modify it to fully implement the above functions.

So the next tutorial is to illustrate how to build a website using examples. First, let's start with the blog, so stay tuned.
