When you create a new site design, you should always remember a few key points. If you don’t, not only is it bad for search engines, but also visitors.
- Consider keeping the same file naming structure so that it will be easier for spiders to re-crawl the new site and peoples bookmarks don’t return 404 error pages.
- 301 Redirect all old or changed URLs to the new corresponding page.
- Create 404 error pages so that when errors occur, visitors get a nice message with the site’s look and feel.
