Structured data - Schema is Good for SEO !
So ...
Check if structured data aka schema, microdata is being used on any given web page with webmaster tools <a>www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets</a>If you are trying to improve the page you can also use the Structured Data Markup Helper - html conversion tool to have Google auto-add schema to the page after you choose the relevant category:
<a>https://www.google.com/webmasters/markup-helper/</a>This is of course just one more method to use in addition to others mentioned.

Hi Keri,
I am asking about "site/theme/template is SEO friendly?" Is there any tool for that?

here are some great instructions on how to perform a site audit rather it be large or small.
Using the campaign tool here on Moz essentially if you pay attention to everything it does it will deliver a very good site audit in many ways.

I know Raven tools have a UX site audit part of their offering however I cannot tell you if it is spot on or not.

Again I recommend using screaming frog hopefully this is more beneficial to you.

I apologize I literally thought he was speaking about the way a website looks or its UX When you say website design did you mean more than the actual way the site looks? I gave him the links to a bunch of tools that used appropriately can teach someone quite a bit about at the usability of a website. I did not think that the question was regarding a site audit.
Varun I apologize and misunderstood your question. If you want more information on how to audit your site definitely follow the links that Keri has already giving you.
obviously you want to see if your site is experiencing issues that would be threatening to your websites user experience however I would start with making sure that it crawls well running a campaign here in Moz
another quick tool that you can use that I'm happy to see back is
https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test
screaming frog SEO spider is a fantastic tool to diagnose issues with your site architecture. You can download it for free, and it will crawl up to 500 pages after that you have to pay 100 British pounds which currently is about close to $160 USD as of this post.
that will allow you to have all the features that the tool advertises. Using that with the http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/screaming-frog-guide
is a powerful combination.
I thought you literally meant design and UX Only.
All the best,
Thomas

When I want a fast general overview of a website SEO Potential, I check using 2 Moz Tools, On-Page Grader and Open Site explorer... plus a get a traffic estimate from some spy tool like similarweb.com However a full audit is need to know deeper about a website.

Are you asking about an existing site that's already in use? What could help then is doing a site audit. We have two Moz posts that have a lot of information about how to do an audit and uncover potential SEO flaws.
http://moz.com/blog/how-to-perform-the-worlds-greatest-seo-audit
http://moz.com/blog/how-to-do-a-site-audit
Or are you asking if a potential site/theme/template is SEO friendly?

Thomas,
I don't think all of these meet what the OP is asking for. Most of these sites are for prototyping or user testing, and not for examining an existing site for SEO.

Does Designing in Sigma Reduce Coding Costs
A design service is using Figma to create modified form. Once the design is complete, Sigma will export CSS files. If we provide these CSS files to a coder, will this greatly reduce the required time to implement the. design on our website? Our website is designed. with a modified real estate theme. We are using exactly the same fields and functionality of the previous form. We are seeking to reduce coding time and subsequent costs. Thanks,

Mobile SEO vs. Usability - SinglePlatform
I have a restaurant client that we're setting up with SinglePlatform.com to distribute their menu and make sure all of the restaurant sites have updated information for their business. As part of SinglePlatform's service, they offer a mobile site. Normally we would just create a mobile site and make sure that it's optimized but this client isn't ready to invest in a customized mobile site yet. The mobile site we can get with SinglePlatform is very simple. Call, Menu, Address, View Full Website, Photos, General Info. I know this would make it much easier for mobile users to find information and contact them but it's not mobile best practices. Whatever main page they land on would redirect them to the home page of the mobile site (i.e. not a 1 to 1). We also won't have any Google Analytics information for this site. The question comes down to usability or SEO? I'm leaning toward the mobile site for now and sell them on a customized solution later. I guess I'm just looking for some verification or any insight.

Site as one page - SEO implications
We may be inheriting a site and will be asked to do SEO for it. We will have control over the development of the site, so this structure is what it is. My question is - how significant of an impact do you think this is going to have and can you think of any workarounds that may help? Basically, the user experience of the site will feel similar to multiple pages. However, this site will, in essence be one page and pull various content through javascript from different locations. I have not seen the site yet (and believe it is still in development), but this is how it has been explained to me. Any thoughts? My first thought was to add a blog to add page depth to the site and expand the content. Any other thoughts are welcome and appreciated. Thanks. (I know this is limited information, I'm sorry. It's just about all I have to work with right now, and I was a little concerned and was hoping for a second opinion)

WIX? is it any good for SEO
Hi people. I have just built my website www.bellagiolimousines.com.au using WIX. I am in the process of optimising for SEO, and after reading a couple of older posts i.e 2012; I read that some SEO consultants do not like WIX. However with their recent upgrades, I was hoping if anyone else has had any recent experience with WIX? I have spent a considerable amount of time building this site, and I don't want to waste anymore time in optimising it, if I am not going to receive a top 3 organic SERP. Hope to hear from someone real soon!

Ecommerce & Responsive design
Hi there, We are thinking to redevelope our ecommerce websites and thinking responsive design. Due to responsive design when the screen gets smaller to fit iphone and ipad we need to hide some content to make it more user friendly. My question is, how Google will treat hiding content with the smaller screens? Will this effect our rankings in a negative way? We really don't want to get punished by Google 🙂 Thank You
