Welcome to the website. My name is Michael Kehoe and my site began life as a university module and has not really been used at all since then. Until now.
I work as a web designer and have recently I have become interested in SEO. I like the competitive site to it, and I was inspired by someone in Manchester who is an SEO novice.
They got their website to the top of the Google rankings for the search term SEO Manchester in under a year. My aim is to get my website as high as possible for the search term “SEO Solihull".
To see how I do this, click on the link to the bottom of the page to see my SEO Solihull experiment updates.

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.

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.
I’ll briefly introduce the SEO Solihull experiment then we shall start.
I recently took a course on SEO at college and discovered lots of techniques but also that nobody really knows whicht will make the most successful SEO because the search engines don't tell us.
There’s a great deal of advice out there but I want to see the proof in the pudding. There are a lot of myths surrounding the subject and I want to set about getting rid of them as they will cause a lot of wasted time.
So I’m going to keep chopping and changing my SEO techniques and then search for "SEO Solihull" in Google.
As you can imagine, "SEO Solihull" is a quite a competitive search term and the companies I will be competing against are going to know exactly what they're doing.
So it will be interesting to see which techniques work the best and how high I can get my website in the SEO Solihull rankings.
The higher the better obviously as I would become more and more credible I will be as an SEO consultant. If I could get my site onto page one it would prove I can mix it with the big companies of SEO in Solihull.
