13th August 2007:

Graphyx Design Studios Ltd. Has closed down. The "Free Tools" and "Music" will be available for the foreseeable future.

GDSL's XHTML Compliant Meta Tag Creator - NEW RELEASE! - Version. 1.20.

Conforms to the Strict.dtd.

Take me to the metatool now!

We have endeavoured to create a very useful tool for you to use, but please remember that 'Meta-Tags' are not the complete solution to search engine submission, ranking and positioning, they just help.

Using the 'Creator' is very simple, it comes down to you accurately filling in the boxes provided or choosing from the drop down selections, and then 'copying or cutting' the generated results to 'paste' into your own pages. We have included the basic set plus, a few others that we ourselves tend to use occasionally.

Included here is an 'ISO standard' list of Countries, Languages and Character sets, they are as complete as we feel they need to be and we have removed some of the more obscure references.

If there are any 'Meta-Tags' you feel are missing or maybe ones you would like to see included then drop us an email to let us know your ideas or suggestions: HERE

NB. The 'Creator' will generate the necessary code for you but you are responsible for the accuracy of your input and choices, we cannot be held responsible for your use of the generated results e.g. if you mis-represent your website content by incorrect or improper use of the meta-tags.

Also, please note that you do not have to use ALL the tags, you can pick and choose the ones appropriate to your pages.

NOTE: Do not remove the tag which explains that this code was generated by Graphyx Design Studios Ltd online tool, to do so would invalidate the free use of this tool. The tag is completely harmless and is the only form of credit we require in this case. If you would like to link to us please go HERE and use the provided buttons or banners.
