    Iv split this from the "Page titles" topic as it was a seperate issue.

    B1977; Are you looking for a website review for its apperance, or SEO wise?

    It really needs an overhaul. It doesnt validate, its not meeting most of the SEO standards and both usually mean it doesnt meet basic web accessibility. You could do a lot better, but you really need to look at the professional route which costs money.

    It would have been somewhat acceptable if the above was done correctly, but at this stage, your only solution bar paying someone to clean it all up is get something completely new that will last you longer in the future therefore being better value for money.
