Image SEO helps search engines understand your images while improving accessibility, page speed, and organic visibility. Optimize file names, alt text, image size, format, and surrounding content to make your images more search-friendly and user-friendly.
Use descriptive file names, write useful alt text, compress images without losing quality, choose modern formats like WebP, and make sure your images match the surrounding content. These small optimizations help search engines understand your visuals and can increase opportunities to appear in Google Images and organic search results.
A well-optimized image can support both SEO performance and a better experience for your visitors.

We rebuilt TechFoundry's website in a week. The brief that mattered most wasn't "make it look good". It was "make ChatGPT and Gemini able to find us".
Buyers ask an AI before they search now. So all 110 pages (26 pages, 80 Aerless™ hardware parts, 4 articles) are server-rendered with real content and structured data a model can cite: Product schema with SKU and MPN on every part, BlogPosting on articles, CreativeWork on case studies, and a robots.txt that lets AI crawlers in.
Three other decisions I'd make again.
1) One hand-coded WordPress theme, three "surfaces": corporate hub, /ai, /aerless. Each gets its own nav, palette and CTAs; the same codebase decides which company you're looking at. No page builder, no front-end framework. Homepage Lighthouse: 98 / 100 / 100 / 100.
2) Leads go where the team already is. Every form posts straight into a Microsoft Teams channel and creates a record in a lightweight CRM I built inside WordPress. Nothing lives only in an inbox.
3) Claude Code and ChatGPT alongside hand-written PHP and JS. That's how one person ships 110 pages in seven days.
What I'd fix on day one next time: reserve space for the animated heroes so mobile doesn't shift layout, and ship an llms.txt next to the sitemap.
If you're rebuilding a site this year: are you designing for AI search yet, or still just Google?
Appreciate the honesty on the mobile layout shift. Are you fixing it with explicit CSS aspect ratios to push that mobile score back above 90?
Presently working on a Photographer’s Portfolio 📸
A photographer’s website has one important job:
Let the work take the spotlight.
While designing this portfolio, I’m focusing on more than making it look beautiful.
I’m thinking about:
• How quickly visitors understand what the photographer does
• How the images are presented without overwhelming the user
• How typography supports the visual work
• How the layout creates a natural viewing experience
• How the website turns visitors into potential clients
One mistake I often see in creative portfolios is trying to show everything at once.
More content doesn’t always mean more value.
For photographers especially, strong visual hierarchy matters.
The work should lead.
The interface should support it.
And the CTA should make the next step obvious.
Currently exploring how far I can push this balance between visual storytelling and conversion-focused UX.
More screens coming soon.
A brand I launched few months ago is still getting clicks through Google although I haven't done any SEO for it at all. No backlinks, metadata barely optimized, etc.
However it's in a niche with a lot of search volume and very low keyword difficulty, most pages that rank first are facebook pages so ranking for certain terms was quite eays.
Planning to redesign it completely soon start doing proper SEO and see what I can get out of it. Once I'm happy with everything I'll share live what it is.
