We don’t get that far into the nitty gritty of web development very often here at Wikimotive. It’s not usually fun to read about the ins and outs of coding (unless you’re a developer, then it’s a blast!) Still, it’s a terrible idea to ignore it completely. No matter how good the rest of your SEO is, no matter how great the content you create is, you’ll be dead in the water if your back end is a mess. A quality SEO company with poor development is like building a mansion on quicksand. Don’t let it happen to you.
