Therefore it is essential to speed up your site and have fast loading pages which is something we at MLA Web Designs are very good at.

Unfortunately nowadays the majority of websites have poor coding and have been built on heavy themes with lots of conflicting scripts. A good site in googles eyes is one of clean coding, error free, and not littered with loads of inline CSS and defunct javascripts. Also another factor that comes into code is the semantic structure of your site and the order in which elements are displayed. At MLA we will go through your code and then clean up your site mistakes, so you can have a well built smooth website.

With over 50% of searches now made on a mobile or a tablet this is now more essential than ever. We use the latest practices and build all responsive sites using bootstrap.
