Insted of this
<span class="style1">Web Design:</span>
Use this
<h1>Web Design</h1>:
Custimise h1 tag as you whish

Put H tags on all your titles that are also your keywords or keyphrases on yor site.

I like the look of it...as far as SEO goes - I'm no expert but try getting yourself some software to run the pages through for the keywords / phrases you want to optomise the pages for - this should be able to steer you right for keyword density, placement and other stuff (any SOE'ers out there... if this is wrong please dont jump down my throat, just correct what I've said with a new post!)

I am also agreeing with the placement of H1 tag.

1) The title should be change as per seo point of view.

change to
Web Design, Video Production, 3d Animation, Promotion and Computer Repair shawn Brothers Media --Tulsa, Oklahoma.

or u can sort the title as only 3 keyword can be targeted for one page
Make the separate pages of the services you offered. This will help you for your audience and seo point of view

if you want more cotact me

cheers

Use ALT Tag on the images.

Try to make new pages which you mention under SERVICES OFFERED.

I'd suggest that you ignore the formulaic "search engine" optimising drivel and optimise for real USERS

What? So you mean just cus it has < > around it, doesn't mean it's a tag?

Didn't have time to take a detailed look (sorry!) but your page's keywords don't look too focused.

I'd save the video production and 3D animation keywords for the pages that deal with those subjects in depth.

I agree with the comment about optimizing for real users. To that end, maybe a maximum of 5 pertinent keywords per page, so that your subject matter is not too diffuse?

Hi.

I do not know much about code, but I do know a bit about design.

I liked what you have done, although I like most people interested in media have a huge screen, and your content is very slim,imop

It seems like you have a solid business concept, but perhaps you should look at other successful sites doing what you do and see where you can replicate, improve and if possible work out a way to innovate.

Hope it works for you.

I would advise minimusing your code.. AND NOT using tables.

they may not directly influence your rank but generally if you have highquality code and you use divs/css to do design not tables means much less code and the engine will index faster coz it dont have to sort through the crap.

Also like Chrishirst said OPTIMISE FOR USERS!! not engines..

Websites are for PEOPLE NOT computers (ie Google)

Just have good code, good formatting, and the most important GOOD content.

Thanks all that matters.

Most of the things are already pointed out by people but still few pointers from me - Try to reduce the height of the page and ONLY put relevant content. The content seems to be not very organized.
