SEO wanted

That's a nice looking site. Not sure about the "slide" effect between pages but other than that looks nice.

What is it you're after in terms of SEO? You've got a good start already with titles, content and domain. What are the goals for the site and what sort of budget (roughly) are you on.

hi, there are quite a few things that can be done to improve the website. I know you are not technical so some will sound lick mumbo jumbo!! We are now offering SEO, all done by hand. We have a number of packages bassed on the number of pages, the number of keywords and how often you woudl like us to perform checks/reports. We cant offer any guarantees that your chosen kewords will get to the top but we will help you to select terms that are more likely to see results and we will perform keyword reserach for you to help you work out which one's are the most likely.

SEO is time consuming which is why it costs but as long as you are realistic any budget you throw at it is likely to work for you.

PM me if you woudl like some details of prices. I know it's a minefield!

Good luck

for onsite seo, consider semantic markup code.

http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/headings

for offsite seo, get other sites to link to yours.
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=linkdomain:catering-recruitment.com

if desperate, consider submitting to free web directories, using social bookmaring tools and becoming premium UKBF member then adding a link to your site in your signature and makihng lots of good posts in this forum

Thanks for the tips and links. I need to renew my UKBF membership as well, so thanks for reminding me ;)

I would change your titles no point having "Catering-Recruitment.com" in the title

Check this CSS Validator

Cleaner coding will let search engine bots move through your pages easier. Hand coding means written without the use of wysiwyg software (Frontpage/Dreamweaver).

Obviously set up a Google webmasters account, do the equivilent for Yahoo.

Using a screen with resolution of 1024 x 768 it looks a little big as I can only just see the first of the scrolling job alerts. But then sooner rather than later larger screen resolutions will become the norm.

If you have any further questions feel free to PM me, or post another question :)

But I would start at your onsite optimisation, before I went ahead with any SEO/off-site optimisation. :)

Probably a bit late now but I agree with a number of other posters. You need to get the designers to revisit the code which is all over the shop. This will make the optimisation much easier.

As it is there is shed loads of thing that you can do yourself (for free). Get all the basics in place and you will soon see a significant change in your ranking.

I suspect however that the editing suite you have for the website won't allow you to manually change the page titles/meta tags and since there are no headers in the code that's another avenue lost. Which leaves the whole project in the hands of the developers - you can't optimise something that is 'hard coded'.
