hi,

i've been doing seo for a few years now, mainly for my own website but also for a handful of small clients.

i have recently created a website for a uk cricket centre that wants to promote its corporate hospitality services. the site ranks fine in google for the target keywords but they have said that they want it to look more polished and eye catching which i fully understand.

my problem is that i don't want to give the site over to a designer and give them carte blanche to do as they wish. i don't want java script nor buttons. ideally i would like a tailormade template to frame the content and contain my text links. just to add to the problem they don't have a large budget.

do you think i have an impossible task? if not are there ways to find someone willing to pretty the site up yet maintain all the seo work that i've done?

finally, have i done this the wrong way around? should i have gotten the site built, without content by a graphic designer and then done my seo stuff?

thanks in advance
