Hello welcome to the forum,

 

Just had a very quick look over your site. It seems that the coding could do with a clean up, it seems for each element such as div, img you have the size in the line such as

 

"style="margin-left: 175px; width: 366px; height: 98px;"

 

But you also have the same properties in the CSS file, there for double the code for 1 element. Removing all the duplicate code can speed up loading times.

 

My personal preference would be too remove the 3 packages at the top of the page when in the client area as with the images there it pushes the client area quite a way down the page as you have a large header.

 

A few areas i would perhaps have a look at,

- About page, give your customers a little information about your company, what you offer and how you provide the services. Customers gain trust in companys if they know a little about them.

- Terms and conditions links from all pages on the site. Currently i couldnt find your TOS altho i did spot a knowledgebase post, your customers should be able to find the TOS, AUP, SLA (if aplicable) from any page.

- Mabie provide a little more information on your product pages.

- On the top 3 product images, VPS servers shows the price in $ rather than £.

With my browser stretched to over 1200px wide, your contact me link was still partially hidden. I think you have some alignment issues still.

I would say there is quite a lot here you could improve on, the css is a bit of a mess and the hard coding styles isnt needed, as mentioned by others.

 

Another thing you need to do is get rid of all the blank H1 and H2 tags.

Search engines will use H1 and H2's especially for indexing your page, so you only want to have one of each on each page if you would like search engines to see whats most important on your page.

This should be for titles and title descriptions for instance.

These are not mandatory, but it is good practice.

The only time I would duplicate it on my own sites, and you should now too, is for your sites logo.

Change it from hard coding to an H1 tag, and set the image in your css with a text-indent of -9999 so the text is still there for screen readers, but replaced on screen with your logo.

 

Go through your html and css and remove all he junk, blank tags and duplications and you will see things start to speed up and clean up.

 

Get FF and Firebug if you dont already, its a very useful tool.

I know, im working on a fix for that as I speak.
