Hi Andy
Basic web pages are built with a language called HTML which is basically a list of tags - you have a start tag <title> and an end tag </title>, notice the / this denotes an end tag.
These tags tell the browser ( internet explorer, firefox etc ) how to display the webpage, this is why pages may look different in different browsers.
Now, some browsers dont like frames so if you want your site to look the same in a range of browsers you need to take the frames out and use more standard HTML. On a simple site you dont really need frames.
Next, SEO or search engine optimisation. A search engine like google will rank your site based on a range of things, this is a bit of a dark art but basically one of the most important things you need are meta tags. Just another HTML tag they look like this:-
<meta name="description" content="whats in your site" />
<meta name="keywords" content="window cleaning" />
and they go somewhere between the head tags so on your site it would look like this :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head><title>PUT A TITLE IN HERE</title>
<meta name="description" content="whats in your site" />
<meta name="keywords" content="window cleaning" />
</head>
<frameset rows="100%">
<frame title="http://www.andyscleaningservices.vpweb.co.uk" src="http://www.andyscleaningservices.vpweb.co.uk" name="mainframe" frameborder="0" noresize="noresize" scrolling="auto">
<noframes>Sorry, you don"t appear to have frame support.
Go here instead -
</noframes>
</frameset>
For now concentrate on the tag <meta name="keywords" content="window cleaning" />
This is the tag that google for example will use to rank your site ( amongst other things ), for simplicity what you write in here google will try to match to what people enter into google to search for your site.
Your keywords should contain some general terms like window cleaning, window cleaner sheffield, commercial window cleaner etc but also some terms that are maybe unique to you, think about what the customer wants / whats unique about your business.
Dont put general terms in like window, cleaning seperately otherwise youll be competing with every other cleaner out there and anyone who has anything to do with windows, glass manufacturers, double glazing companies etc etc.
Hope this helps, also your site should have reasonable grammer and spelling ( use spell checker in word ) and should sell your business, again think about what a customer would want to know - look at other sites for ideas/layout.
