My name is Mark Ward, and I run a backcountry fishing charter business in Naples. I’m looking for some help with backend website maintenance, and thought students in Computer Science or Software Engineering might be able to help.   This would be part-time work, paying $30 an hour.   Specifically, I need:   The approximately 1100 images on my website are given more SEO friendly "file names",  "alt text", and "titles". Now the file names are like 1234.jpg; most have no alt text or titles.    I need the "header tags" on all my pages to be restructured properly.   If interested, send your resume to: evergladesangler@gmail.com   Best regards, Capt. Mark Ward www.naplesfishingcharters.org
