Text based website indexing well and fast on search engines, as search engine mainly crawls the text. SEO friendly web design can speed up your SEO process. There are few web designing techniques to make your website more SEO friendly.
Flash Website:
Google Bot couldn’t crawl flash files previously. Thus website designed in Flash was not ranked well in search engines. But now search engine like Google have changed the algorithm to crawl text and links used in SWF files along with content from other files used by SWF files like HTML, XML, other SWF etc.
The issue of flash crawling is still persisting with other search engines except Google as they are unable to crawl the flash website. There is a solution of this also to define navigation and content development with HTML, while the website is designed in Flash.
Iframe Website:
Iframe is used to embed document within HTML file. Google recommendation is not to use Iframe for business website as Iframe website is not a search engine friendly website and Google is unable to crawl the complete website result in not properly indexing in search engine. In case of necessity for Iframe inclusion in website, text based links in Iframe must be given to crawl by web spider for indexing the content.
