Hi my name is Michael Kehoe this is my website. When I first built it, it was for a university module. I had left it alone ince then and it didn't serve any purpose. Until now.
Recently I have become very interested in SEO. I am competitive by nature and SEO certainly has a strong elementof that. It was some body in Manchester that claims to be a SEO novice that inspired me to re-write this website.
It has taken them less than a year to get to the top of the Google rankings for the search term SEO Manchester. Now I want to get this website up there for the search term "SEO Mansfield" so to see how I do, click on the link to see my SEO Mansfield experiment updates.
Or carry on to see my other services, skills and expertise.
In today's internet driven world more and more people are using search engines such as Google as their first and last port of call when looking for products or services.
Some good SEO should see your website flying up the search engine rankings and your business could start booming. Click here to see how I could help with your SEO.
Some people want a Flash website or a CMS (content management) or e-commerce website. I am happy to do any of these. Some people just want a static website so they have a web presence.
We will talk about what you want and what you need from your website and unlike a lot of designers, I will not pressure you into having a website that is any more than you feel you need. Long term customer satisfaction is far more important than a few more pounds in the short term.
I have a wealth of experience in web design and have worked for clients in a number of different industries, from plumbing and central heating companies to media firms, from sports clubs to artists. Click here to see my web design page
Since I started web designing, I haven't had as much time to dedicate to graphic design and it has been a while since I got my teeth stuck into it.
That said, my background was originally in graphic design. I spent three years working closely with law firms accross the UK on there promotional literature while I was with Media Coverage.

You must have noticed! These days every other person you meet regularly surf the internet in their mobile phone. Many of them don't need the internet at home because they have it on their phones.
To capitalise on this market you need to make sure your site is WAP friendly. A surprising amount of companies are yet to do this.
Search engines can tell the difference between somebody surfing on a computer and a phone and only display sites that are WAP friendly to phone users.
This is a growing target market and you could be missing out if you don't have a WAP friendly website, but getting a good few steps ahead of your competitors if you do! Click here to learn more about WAP friendly design.
First things first, I'll give a little intoroduction to the SEO Mansfield experiment then we shall start.
I took a SEO a few months ago at college and what I found was that people really don't know what will make successful SEO because the search engines aren't tell us.
There are plenty of hints and tips but I want to see the proof in the pudding. As with pretty much anything that we do not know about, several myths develop. SEO is no different and I want to start eliminating these myths.
I am going to keep adding or taking away different SEO techniques from the website and then search for "SEO Mansfield" in Google.
As you might guess, "SEO Mansfield" is a fairly competitive search term and I will be competing against other SEO consultants, people who know exactly what they're doing.
Its going to be fun to see how well I can do in the rankings for the term SEO Mansfield and what techniques seem really seem to have the best impact.
The higher I get the better as it will prove my crediblity as an SEO consultant. It would be great to get to page one, it show I can mix it with the big companies of SEO in Mansfield.
