Hi Guys
Thanks for taking the time for those recommendations, I'll definitely get in touch with them and let you know how things progress. There's no better guide than through actual working experience so I really appreciate the pointers. Despite the doom mongers there's still plenty of work out there if only you can assemble the right team with the right attitude and skills.

Hi, I need a reliable and highly skilled php coder who can build from scratch to cater for my website clients. Their needs aren't always answered by off the shelf packages so custom builds are the norm. My expertise is in graphics so the style, layout and artwork will be done here in-house.
I have a major project on hold right now (Sept 2010) waiting for the right coder to be found. You would work independently of my set up as a sub contractor. Requirements: reliability, A1 technical skills, fair pricing, availability and commitment. If the right person is found there will be many more projects coming in. I have to turn work away at the moment!

Hi
You can get a Google XML sitemap generator for free, it takes just a few minutes .. no need to pay through the nose for such a simple job! Although it's important to have a sitemap for SEO purposes, as stated here before, it's certainly not the most important factor in optimising a web site.

Hi Rebecca, it's the same wherever you are in the world. All those methods mentioned are the way to go. It's simply a case of getting your website seen where it counts and as often as possible. Mentions on high status (big player) sites will pass on status to you, improve your rating and get you seen by the clients you want. Whatever methods you choose, they all involve an ongoing effort and committment. Too many people think simply owning a website is the start and end of marketing and that work will just roll in.... well it certainly won't! It's old fashioned hard work and dedication that gains you search engine postition. Good luck, Paul (web and graphic design and hosting in Birmingham UK)
