Hi,
What are you thinking of that viart does not use any header tags like H1, H2 or H3 in the pages. I think they are very useful for SEO but I am not sure at all. If so why viart does not use them?

Dont know. I always edit the temps for this... all update makes me a half day job... :)

 
what am I thinking? I'm thinking THAT'S NOT GOOD! it's pretty basic stuff.

No, they are missing, and I have had to add them to the templates. I'm doing a major redesign, so adding them is just part of the process. However, I agree with you both, it's bad SEO and an obvious thing they need to fix. But the whole template and styles area needs an extreme makeover to get rid of tables as much as possible, and to truly have cascading styles.

Hi,
 
I am new to ViArt.
 
I am trialling it out and also have noticed there is no use of h1-h3 tags.
 
If i want to use these, through out the site, which files do i need to edit? In fact, how do i edit the files? In editing is there a chance i could mess things up or is it straight forward?
 
Thanks guys

Would you not just add these to your .css file?

Christopher,
 
Are you saying it needs to go in a css file? Is there just 1 file or lots. Sorry, very noob question i know.
 
thanks

A lot of the items that chould be h1, h2 etc are names other things, like "bigtitle". They should be cleaned up to make things a little more standard.
 
On the tableless css, I'm not sold on that, in fact I think that may be a step in the wrong direction. While I like css for most things, replacing tables makes design a lot more challenging than it needs to be. That ads time and expense, particularly in feature rich applications that integrate structured blocks.
 
Just because you can does not always mean you must. Use css for formatting, use tables to make layouts simpler.

Hi,
I would know how viart could propose a SEO Report on their Site and then miss completely the H1-H3.
 
I hope this will be corrected shortly.
 
Thanks

I'm not too familiar on css/tables.
 
Can i just edit the .css file put h1/h2's where necessary then? Will it mess anything up?
 
Thans in advance

 
Even though I'm a css ninja, I kind of agree with this statement in regard to viart. There's a cost/benefit formula that should be followed . . . and right now viart has the templates so screwed up that making a totally tableless design would take a lot of time. BUT, all those nested tables? . . . totally unnecessary. The site could use one table, plus one more on product listing pages. That's it, one or two tables.
 
just adding h1, h2, etc tags to the css file will do nothing for you; you also have to dig into the templates. If you don't know what you're doing, don't touch it.
 
If you have some skill with html/css/viart templates, adding at least the h1 and maybe the h2 tags shouldn't be too hard. You probably have 2 or 3 files to monkey with.
