      Hi everyone,

      I found this site and it looks like a great place for us to start, we have just opened the doors to our new website fenwaymedia thats a dot co dot uk. Now Ihave tried to maintain the most minimilistic design throughout but I believe with this comes certain drawbacks -  - - - S E O which is why i am here. My thought were that I would draw my clients from the Web Design, web Marketing & Blog page which I will starting in 3 hours be constantly updating. but Im not sure Im doing the right thing.

      I am trying to target Edinburgh, Scotland although we would take work from anywhere, if anyone could spare us a moment, I would greatly appreciate any help, tips or comments that might help us attain some visibility.

      Thanks in advance and thanks for looking.

      Kind regards,

      Craig

        Ok,

        First off every page has a dynamic url, you should really have rewritten SEO friendly urls.

        But lets just say you stick with the dynamic urls, Google picks up all 6 sections on homepage, each page has the same content, now you got 6 pages of duplicate content.

        Your domain doesn't redirect non www to www.

        I also noticed you have the css style in the source rather then in a css file and connecting to it.

        Home page link goes to /index.php when it should link to your root domain.

        Bit of onsite work involved here - your design does look ok though.

          I completely agree with activitysuper and I would strongly recommend taking care of your URLs. Also, your canonical tag is set to the dynamic looking URL and I don't know if that would be best for you.  I think for best results you are going to need to obviously start some link building (I would keep it clean - big Penguin is watching!) - many of your images have the same alt text (your business name) - you might consider setting up some internal linking throughout the site to help spread the authority you should begin to gain - just standard on and off page stuff as well as the technical optimization that AS pointed out.

              Yep these are now good.

              Did you change the domain so non-www redirects to www?
