It's well done for a table based layout. That being said; it's a table based layout.

Learn CSS

For the actual design:

The fact that you cant see the top of your flasks is incredibly annoying.

You use way too many images for things that don't need them.

There doesn't seem to be any sort of grid.

The buttons have no :hover at all. (something which requires either javascript or css)

The general feel of the page is that you make a template, and the just threw a bunch of content into it. The design has some potential, you just need to learn to make websites properly.

Frankly it's offensive that you're offering any of these services to clients when you clearly don't know how to build effective websites if you're still using tables. And the design looks like it's been strung together from various background elements and clip art. Obvious photoshop brushes scribbled messily at the bottom for the footer. Not good.

Lowest price match guarantee? That's a hell of a statement to make. I suppose it depends what your target market is, the cheapest shoddiest clients who have absolutely no respect or value for their own website and business I imagine.

You shouldn't be offering a service unless you have the skills to provide clients with something worth having.

Keep learning by all means, but you shouldn't be selling to anyone when you're still at this level.

The tables, are bad. No web developer that is trying to develop professionally should be using tables.

As for the design, it just looks like a purchased template. It doesn't look custom.

It looks like the "websites" you'd see in a pop-up window.

No exactly the look that a professional web developer is going for.

Fixed

A table has its place. Such as a table of data...
Anyone whos uses nested divs for that is making his job un-necessarily harder.

Like usual, I agree with Maerk and think you should listen to all his advice.

The design shows potential but the coding is just awful - you have lots to learn.

Something that made me laugh out loud though is that you claim to offer Search engine optimization services. Your website doesn't comply with any common SEO standards.
- no alt tags
- long redundant code
- no meta tags
- poor use of title tags
- poor keyword research
- no header tags

I get the feeling you don't know what a business directory or search engine directory is either. The list goes on, but I think the point is made.

I recommend you re evaluate your services and show your clients more respect. Don't run around selling something like SEO when your own website shows you don't know anything about it.

The thing is, these gues do this for a "living" and without a doubt put alot of hard work and effort into making sure they provide the best service, using tables etc is outdated, so no doubt, people will get a little miffed when they see tables being "offered" to clients.

I would personally, go away, learn some more and try again!
