This is the site title that appears in the top of the browser. Search engines place a great deal of emphasis on this tag and it's relevance. A well thought out title can make a real difference to your search engine rankings!

Keywords are becoming less and less important, as search engines try and find more accurate ways of indexing your site and judging its relevance. However, a small number of well known engines still make use of this meta tags, so it should not be ignored completely. Your keywords should be a comma separated list of words and phrases (with a space after the comma). Try not to use more than around 30 words or phrases.

Provided your description is considered by the search engines to be relevant to the content found on your site, then it will be displayed alongside your link in the search results. Again, the key to a good description is relevance. Try to include phrases used early on it your sites text, but also keep it brief - less than 250 characters.

For the most part, this option should be left as 'Please select'. It only needs to be changed if you wish your page to be displayed as part of a submenu. In this instance, simply select the page that will act as the parent of the submenu.

The page title serves 3 purposes. Firstly, it will be displayed at the top of the page. Formatting is taken care of automatically. Secondly, it will be displayed on the menu as the name of the link. Lastly, it will form the link itself. Because of this, try and avoid using any special characters in page titles. For example, rather than using an ampersand '&' type the word 'and'. This should avoid any problems when linking to pages. If you need to link to a page from within your content, you should link to the page title all in lowercase with all spaces replaced by hyphens. The link should always start with a forward slash. So to link to a page titled 'About us' you would link to '/about-us'.

This option will generally not need to be changed. This gives you the ability to insert custom objects such as forms onto your page that have been written for you.

The company's customers come in search of our know-how, and they accept the need to pay premium prices for bespoke products manufactured in modest quantities and for the expert advice that goes with it. This is emphatically not a bulk manufacturer of paint.

 

We have a unique database of thousands of colour specifications created by numerous car, bus, tractor, truck, boat etc manufacturers, most of which ceased business several decades ago. When the bodywork and mechanicals of the vehicle, boat etc have been restored at considerable cost, the final piece of authenticity comes from applying the original colour scheme. Using our database we make precisely what they need, and advise on its correct application.

 

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts worldwide who rebuild classic and vintage vehicles, there is a sizeable worldwide industry of professional restorers, and most customers are in those two categories. There is a huge national and international network of owners clubs and restoration societies, and they provide excellent routes into this very large market. Recently we have started to expand by entering the specialised historic/listed building market.

 

The company is very small, but determined not to stay small. We have specialist knowledge and importantly credibility (word of mouth is important). We have production capacity. We have ambition and we are geared up for a step change - and now we are looking for finance to carefully ramp up our marketing and provide additional working capital, but equally importantly we are looking for one or more directors who will (probably non exec) enjoy helping the company generate more profit.
