I am new to all this. i have two sites out there, my problem is getting listed on the search engines. I have the keywords in the right place i think. but still no search engines pick me up. please help. I have submitted the urls to the google yahoo alta vista & more. www.hecp.org.uk this is our free community website for Efford in Plymouth devon UK, plus my own which is www.budgetwebs.co.uk i have been selling webs in our local area plymouth. any ideas

Hmm...please don't take offense, but is this a real post?

i am new to this, please tell me why you asked that question. this is not a joke "Harry"

to be blunt, those sites are brutal.

if you are looking to be taken seriously as a web developer, you need to take a look around at some of the other websites out there, and pick up on some of the newer trends.

Your designs and coding practices are seriously dated.

CSS Zen Garden is a good place to start. Those sites are made using more current practices. Also, hit W3 Schools, and pixel2life for some introductory tutorials.

From an SEO standpoint, there's almost nothing on your pages, hence not showing up in the rankings. Where are the supposed key words?

You web design site is built in frames, which won't do much for you in the rankings either.

You've got a long road ahead...best of luck.

Hiya

This is what you will need to do with ur main homepage at: http://www.budgetwebs.co.uk/

- right align the image
- add the text on the main homepage to the left of the page.
- add a thin gray border around the middle content
- center the middle table
- you will need a new logo to be take more seriously..

your website is not professionally done, but!!!! there is a lot of room for improvement. thats how people start off anyway.. so keep reading online.. go through the web and pick websites you tend to like. analyse why you like these sites? is it the font size? is it the font type? or maybe the colours used? notice how white is used in the right way and how background colours can be used to highlight main areas on the page?

a lot to learn..but as long ur keen am sure you will do well.

thanks
Tala
