Keywords are placed in the actually text based version of an .html document. They are placed within the tags and enable search engines such as google, yahoo, ask.com, etc. to pull those words out of your document. Then they display them after those keywords have been entered or searched for. I would recommend doing some searches on businesses similar to yours and research which keywords are most common and then place those into your .html document.

Keywords-"design" and "interior" and "trends"

To put it simple: keyword are words that will help someone find your site when typed in search engines. It also help with the relevancy of your site as to when the search engines spider your site. I also notice you haven't got any tags in your html. If you want your site to be found on the net you sould include meta tags. The title of you site is Home and you should change it and make it kinda descriptive with keywords.

One of the tricks is to find keywords that no one else uses or not got to many competition for those words.

One way you can do that easily using a keyword tool.
Try to educate yourself on SEO ( Search Engine Optimization).
