It's pretty "noisy" at the bottom of your page...

Thanks
I know it is, it is meant to be key words and to show the area we cover.

The index is horrible. Hard to read text and all those keywords everywhere. That is just UGLY. The reason for a web site is to get customers. Yes the search engines help. But what happens when you are high in the listings and NO Customers trust your site because you used spam techniques to get it there. Don’t get me wrong, I have see worse. At least you tried to cover up what you were doing by saying, “We work with this” or “we work in these areas”

If it looks like spam, walks like spam, talks like spam……guess what it probably is!

My suggestion is to make a reputable site where your customers will get a feel of professionalism. Not trying to throw stones here, you asked for reviews and thats my thoughts! Good luck!

Looks like a novice SEO worked on this site.

I agree 100% with Erik Bledsoe.
When first saw the website, my immediate thought was: "a cheap whore looking for attention".
But, Erik is more articulate than I.

On another note. I visited a bathroom page and noticed that the images were slow to load. Strange I thought.
Then, I realized that just one of the images was 1 MByte! One MB for a 2 cm x 5 cm image. What were you thinking?

Thanks for the comment Dave! Some people know just enough about SEO and web design to be dangerous! I think this is one of those people. Large images, keyword spamming, difficult fonts and colors; I guess I could go on and on but you get my point. I will give him credit for coming here for help, but this may be like me helping my deaf cousin hear the waves at the ocean. Just my 2-cents!

its quite messy on the home page and the text is way too pale there needs to be much more contrast in terms of text and background colour.
you look like you have a decent navigation system and some good content but this site needs some work
4cs plumbing website has a great design and SE placements - should be what you're aspiring to.

I'll try to be kind and helpful, even if it kills me.

You've got to remove the spam from the bottom of the page. One well written paragraph might be understandable.

Judging by the HTML source code, it would appear that you're using software to write your page and that you're not too experienced at hand coding. You need to work on that.

You might want to mplement an external CSS style sheet and get rid of the code bloat.

For example, placing this in the head of your document will automatically apply your specified font across the entire page:

Code:

<style>
body {font-size:2; font-family:tahoma, helvetica, sans-serif; font-color:#999999;}
</style>

With that done, you can remove a few thousand lines of redundant code:
<font size="2" face="Tahoma" color="#999999">this is your text</font>

Start with the extraneous (and duplicate) meta tags.

Code:

<meta name="resource-type" content="document">
<meta name="generator" content="AnyBrowser.com MetaMaker">
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta name="revisit-after" content="1 days">
<meta name="classification" content="Construction">
<meta name="robots" content="ALL">
<meta name="distribution" content="Global">
<meta name="rating" content="Safe For Kids">
<meta name="copyright" content="robuild.co.uk">
<meta name="author" content="robuild.co.uk">
<meta http-equiv="reply-to" content="info@robuild.co.uk">
<meta name="language" content="english">
<meta name="doc-type" content="Web Page">
<meta name="doc-class" content="Published">
<meta name="doc-rights" content="Public">
<meta name="author" content="Builders London Robuild.co.uk">
<meta name="description" content="Builders London, decorators,plumbers, painters,electricians">
<meta name="classification" content="Construction Builders Plumbers">

Put any embedded JavaScript into an external file.

Remove and and all duplicate <html>. <head> and <body> tags.

Delete the huge areas of blank white space so you can edit the page without scrolling through code for hours at a time.

This is indicative of sloppy web page software that's inserting bad code. Improve your text to code ratio, and thereby increase your page relevance by cleaning these up.

Code:

<DIV align=justify><font face="Tahoma"></font></DIV>

That should keep you busy for a few days.
