  • Hi everyone, so I've made a number of websites 100% inside of construct.. obviously this has some pros and cons.. in my case I feel it's more pros than cons from a creative standpoint..

    www.roaddefender.com

    www.8bitwidgets.com

    Overall I enjoy it because it makes website building more fun and obviously the snappiness is great too.. however one thing that was brought up to someone who was checking out my site asked about google and page indexing.

    So I wondered if anyone had any insight / suggestions / experience in terms of insuring that google actually "Sees" my site in order for people to be able to search it and find content.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Basically... don't do this. That's not to say you can't, but Construct is not known to be great at UI, while HTML and CSS are made for it. If you want a specific bit of interactivity inside your page, embed the C3 project for that part only.

  • too late! :) however i get what you mean.. couldn't i put some tags or something inside the index.htm? that could be something found by google?

    i mean ok i guess perhaps what i could do is take each layout and embed it in it's own HTML page? kinda break it up into different experiences inside of a larger collection of HTML pages..

    really does break the flow of things though, but i suppose it wouldn't be too hard to just break up things.. duplicate the project and then strip out each page into a separate standalone "page"..

    certainly the biggest downside to this is the back button completely takes you out of the page no matter where you are in the various C3 page.

  • Google is a lot more complicated than just reading the tags inside your page. Content and user behavior during a user's stay on a website are tracked too. It doesn't matter if it's one page or multiple pages, the important thing is that the crawlers can read the contents and links of your page, which they can't, so it's not just a matter of each layout on it's own page. You want text to be text in html, and not text like games to be embedded.

    If you're not familiar with html and css and are set on working this way, then do with what you've got. On the other hand, having a fully working mockup would make it very very very easy and quick for a web designer to put together the actual thing for you.

    As a compromise, I believe the contents of form elements and the html element in Construct WOULD be accessible to Google, so that could be an option.

  • you should write meta-tags manually and add them to the html page.
