Titles and meta data
Your page title is an important element for SEO and for your users, who will know the contents page, depending on it. Be sure to change the title on each page and be linked to this page.
<title>Advance-hr</title>
For most browsers, the meta descriptions are not as important for SEO as the titles, but is still a good idea to include them. Change the description on every page, in order to be conected with the content, because that's what Google shows at search results.
<meta name=”description” content=”Art is the expression of creativity or imagination. Art is commonly understood as the act of making works (or artworks) which use the human creative impulse and which have meaning beyond simple description.”</meta>
Browser compatibility
Just when you thought that the design looks perfect, check it in IE and see that everything is broken. It is important that your website is compatible with all browsers. It doesn't have to be perfect in design, but it must be functional and the user should not notice any problems. Browsers that you need to keep in mind: Chrome, Safari 3, Firefox 3, Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8.
Links
Do not assume that all links go by itself. Check them. It can happen to forget to add "http://" to external links. Do not forget also the general rule, to make the logo link to the homepage.
Also analyze your links. Are these links evident to the new users? These should be clearly visible on the page. Do not underline text not link, because it will confuse the users.
