Re: [WSG] Keywords for text-less site?
If the number of times the font is used per page isn't excessive, you could also resort to sIFR3 for font replacement. Check: http://novemberborn.net/sifr3 for more information. If you need help with this, you can contact me off-list. :) Gr.

Re: [WSG] Keywords for text-less site?
hi lynette, check out http://www.studiokdd.com/ the site still isn't finished under the hood, because i still need to add long descriptions. maybe your client could see that content with keywords can be tastefully done without clutter. remember, it's all about design! cheers, dwain On 6/24/08, Lynette Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am about to start a site that is going to be basically several image > gallery site pages.

Re: [WSG] Keywords for text-less site?
Hi Lyn, As mentioned make sure you are using the description meta with appropriate tags. Also make sure that the page title above the menu bar is sufficiently detailed e.g. Artist Name - Image Name &c Image replacement on the site title is a good idea, just offset the html text sufficiently that it's not seen in the browser window. Then you have the painting title make sure you use H1s for those and do the image replacement thing as well. And as you said make sure the alt text is accurate.

[WSG] Keywords for text-less site?
I am about to start a site that is going to be basically several image gallery site pages. My client is an artist. I asked for some text for the site but she doesn't want "clutter". She asked: "how does it work with "key words" I realise i have not included many. are they necessary these days and if so can they be incorporated to suit search engines without visually disturbing the presentation. "She basically wants the website to look the same as the Power Point Presentation which is what I am working from.
