Because you don’t want to start from scratch, coding all these features over and over again, you are better off using a theme framework. It provides you with a file and folder structure and offers a rich tool set for [...]

A code framework is nothing more than a collection of pre-formatted classes and functions. There are frameworks created for practically every language out there – even including frontend web development like JavaScript and CSS. Developers would be wise to follow these trends of working on top of pre-built code. There are reasons both for and against building on top of web frameworks. You need to spend time learning the code and adjust your website accordingly. But in the long run [...]

Google Search likes simple, easy-to-crawl websites. You like dynamic websites that show off your work and that really pop. But search engines can’t run your JavaScript.

AJAX has revolutionized the Web, but it has also hidden its content. If you have a Twitter account, try viewing the source of your profile page. There are no tweets there?—?just code! Almost everything on a Twitter page is built dynamically through JavaScript, and the crawlers can’t see any of it. That’s why Google developed AJAX crawling.
