Meta descriptions and keywords on web sites

I know there are one or two into web site design and a few gurus on web sites here.

Questions, if you had a web site designed by a professional outfit.
Would you expect a meta description to be added
And are they an important part of web site design
Meta keywords, the same as above.

I always thought they were and add them to every page of any web sites I build.

Someone who I know has a business web site and they paid a fair bit for its design etc and both are missing

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE designers and don't trust them worth a damn.


Seriously.




I've worked with multi-billion dollar companies who have hired design firms for $150,000 templates, and it's utter garbage. Junk. I wouldn't use it on a geocities site.


Most designers are artists... not UI coders. Keep that in mind.
