Web design, development and search engine optimization
I started designing web sites in 1998 using Macromedia Dreamweaver v2, I have stayed loyal to Macromedia through Dreamweaver v3, Ultradev v4 and now Dreamweaver 8 . I also use Macromedia Fireworks 8 and Macromedia Flash MX. I also use Adobe Photoshop 7 extensively. Macromedia "big up" a program that I have never found necessary, Macromedia Freehand, I have seen it in use and it really is amazing especially when used with Flash, but for my text heavy search engine friendly sites, I can make do with Dreamweaver and Fireworks.In 1999 I formed a company called Clarior Technologies Ltd with Steve Pritchard who is an excellent VB programmer and is now working in Milton Keynes.
In 2002 Clarior Technologies Ltd was dissolved and I have set up my own business as ricklomas.com, we can offer web design and development and web hosting - also if you already have a tired looking site I can give it a revamp. I often have people ask me "where can I buy a lot of incoming links?" so I have written a page to help with that. Please get in touch for anything else you may think I can help with. I am currently working on some XHTML 1.1 style sites, in particular UK Insurance Online, UK Money online and Holiday Home Direct.
Site Submission Software
There is no magical software that will get your site listed high in the search engines. There is software that can list your site on FFA sites (free for all) but that won't bring you long term traffic. A better option is to use tools like Web Position Gold to optimize your pages.
