Search Engine Friendly Website Design

I am a freelance web developer based in Briancon, France, specialising in:

The Joomla Content Management System (CMS),

Search Engine Friendly (SEF) Website Design,

Apache Server Setup, htaccess and URL Rewriting.

I am currently in charge of running and maintaining a server for one of France's leading Search-Engine Marketing Companies, and have been Lead Web Developer for the past 6 years.

The web is forever changing and it can be difficult for small companies to keep up with new technologies. Many older websites written in HTML can look unapealing to customers and be expensive to update by hiring a professional web designer.

For this reason, all my new sites are built using content management systems such as Joomla, Drupal, phpBB3, Open-Realty and Magento.

The main difference between a traditional website is that anybody is able to add new content without the expense of a professional. The website is built with a template which gives the site its look and feel. New content is added through the administration area and then extra page elements can then be easily added to each page.

These systems are almost infinitely expandable through 3rd party add-ons which offer many possibilities such as:

• E-commerse Sites
• Property Sales and Rental
• Blogging Features
• Company Intranets
• Dynamic feeds such as weather and stock markets
• Social Networks
• Fully Featured Forums
• Facebook Integration

If you like the look and feel of your current website but would like to add/edit information on a regular basis, or add new web2.0 features. Your current site can be used as the basis for a new template to fit your new content management system.

The previous or new content is then added, along with any new features you wish. The site is then fully customisable by anybody who has basic computer skills.
