    Start again.

    In all honesty it looks like a great site from the 1990's. But if it performs the way you need it to, and has the information you want customers to have then grand.

    Love the Pictures and the detail, really dislike the quality of the tabs at the top of the page and the fact that the look 'melded' together.

    Agreed. There's no discernible hierarchy or navigation, all the links in the top have equal importance.

    You'd definitely benefit from getting a bit of professional help, especially if you plan on driving supplemental business through your online channel.

    Overall assessment is that it does not attract visitors from the search engines.
    If it did get visitors it would not convert many to paying clients.
    If you want a website that is an asset to your business and actually gets you new clients there is a lot needs changing.
    View your site in a browser with images turned off, or use Google's bots view. You will be surprised how little (almost none) content is there. You can't be indexed for content you do not have.
    As you also have "hidden" content you are lucky Google displays your pages at all.
    For your website to promote your business it needs to convince the visitor (potential client) that you are the person to do their work, and to get the visitor in the first place it needs to rank at least as well as your competition

    Thanks for the constructive criticism :D
    The website templates are limited on www.gettingbusinessonline.ie. My website was professionally designed before as www.machinedoc.ie and it generated less work so im sceptical of how much professionals can do

    The guy who designs your website isn't responsible for how much business you get through it unless that is in your contract.

    It's up to you (or someone else you hire) to do the google ads etc that promote your website. Maybe there was something else that happened that helped things take off for the website.

    Yeah, it's such an old feature of sites, it's almost retro.
