How to add a new page title for each page

Hi all,

Sorry If what I am about to ask sounds really basic or silly, I don't know a lot about coding. I had a website built by a company that were a little short of awful.

I have been doing some research on SEO and have found out that each page should have its own title that is relevant to that page. I am unsure how to do this, as I have found out that each page uses a header and a footer page which means each page displays the same meta info and same title. I have managed to create different header pages with the new meta tag info, however i have over 200 pages, also, some of the pages I am unsure how to find as the URL looks like this: http://www.me-myselfandi.co.uk/WebsiteP ... ignerId=20

Is there a way I can force just a new page title for each page but not change anything else (the reason being is because the header page includes other info)

Not sure what you need to know to answer this but I believe the site is mainly built using PHP and has a MySQL database. The site address is http://www.me-myselfandi.co.uk

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It really depends on how the site is made.

Basic idea is this:
Somewhere there is code that prints a <title> HTML tag. You get the information you need to deal with (ie, the designer information) before this point. Then the code uses it to print a dynamic title. Kinda like

Code: Select all

echo "<title>Independent Designers - ", $designer->name, "</title>\n";
But without code it's practically impossible for us to give you the answer. And if you're not familiar with PHP it makes it that much harder for us to tell you what you need to do.
