Can I fit text onto this homepage?

JimMichael · 01-09-2012, 06:45 PM

I am having my site re-designed and also taking a new SEO approach with new keywords.

This is the homepage of the site, just a mock that is hosted on the developers site for now: Piece of Cake

To me, the home page looks very image-based.

By going down this route, will I lose out on text that will assist my SEO?

Yes you might lose out on some on page SEO benefit if you dont put in any text at all.

However, you CAN still rank with images and videos on a home page alone without ANY text at all, as long as you have some titles and subtitles at very minimum and you are using the alt tags on images wisely.

If you are worried, put some text at the bottom of the site or something or write a small intro.
