SEO problem

I have a client that wants me to do SEO for his site. I did not do the design and development of his current site { wwwdotkooleffectsdotcom } but it's developed in asp.net. The whole site is pretty much a gallery with zero content. Is it possible to go anywhere with the site?

SEO is not about tacking something on at the end, it needs to be included at the beginning.
TBH nothing will save that site other than a complete redesign/ rebuild.

Are you an SEO expert?
If not, pass it on to someone who is as you'll get nowhere with that site.

In other words - you have a client willing to pay you, but you have absolutely no idea what you are doing.

I am so fucking sick of this

chill down dude, he hasn't paid yet but wants to know if it would be possible. I know the basics of SEO but I wasn't sure with his site.

Whats also ridiculous is that he recently just had his site redesigned by someone.

You are offering services that you can't provide. What do you expect? Should we tell you how to do it so you can charge him?

You should learn more than 'the basics' for starters.

SEO is not just about cleaning up the source code.

I was asked only if it was possible but apparently it is out of my league.

The trick is to go back to the client with a positive answer.

Negative - Nah mate, it can't be done.
Positive - I've checked every possible solution and to be honest the best situation would be to redesign and rebuild. Here's why ...
