- Think of a theme you should make for your website.
- If you are done, think of keywords that describe your site, or used to locate your site.
- If you are done, you must also think about a design used for your site.

* Title tags - title tags are crawled first meaning you must put your keywords in it.
* Meta keywords and description - things you must consider before creating a site.
* H1 and other header tags - used to emphasize your keywords in it.
* Content - uniqueness of content catches more attention to all viewers.
