In this tutorial we demonstrate how to create pure CSS skin layouts that are Search Engine Optimized. We achieve this by taking advantage of using absolute positioning and floats.
This technique was developed for the new DNN Creative skin. Following the release of the DNN Creative skin we received several enquiries regarding how we placed the main text content at the top of the source code and the less important content towards the end.
Ordering the source code helps search engines to easily find and index the important content of your website and therefore will help to improve your search engine results.
In this tutorial we demonstrate the techniques using a stripped down version of the DNN Creative skin.
The videos cover:
- Video 1 - Introduction, file preparations and initial styling
- Video 2 - Creating the content panes
- Video 3 - Layout of the content panes
- Video 4 - Styling the content panes and footer
- Video 5 - Positioning the content panes and menu
- Video 6 - Positioning additional skin tokens
- Video 7 - Positioning horizontal banner pane and IE hacks

This tutorial is part 2 of the Pure CSS Search Engine Optimized Skin Layouts tutorial. We previously demonstrated how to create a 3 pane skin using floats and absolute positioning. We are now going to demonstrate how to create multiple skin layouts using a skinname.css file.
Using the skinname.css file technique allows you to easily create variations of skins while also reducing the amount of code placed in the skin.css file.
In this video tutorial we create a 2 pane version of the CSS skin using minimal code changes.
