Search Engine Optimization - SEO or Design?

The answer for any expert is a clear one. When companies think about getting a website they typically focus on how it’s going to look - the design. I suspect this is because website owners are so entrenched in their own business and its intricacies that they take this for granted and focus instead on how the website they typically focus on how it’s going to look - the design. I suspect this is because is going to look rather than what the website they typically focus on how it’s going to look - the design. I suspect this is because may need to accomplish - the goals.
But why would a person visit your site to begin with. Is it for its design?

Let’s say you do start with design first. Your creative team will provide a concept without the knowledge of how much content there will be, the priority of content sections and what information is being conveyed. The design will be based on assumptions, with placeholders for content. Later you will need to adjust the content to fit within the placeholders inevitably sacrificing its quality, clarity and intention. More unnecessary time will need to be spent in the design process on making adjustments and revisions to account for the addition of content.

Even in more agile development websites, content should still be focused on first, followed by architecture, design, technical development, and usability testing.
