Hi Aldev
Had a look at the source code it seems to go down hill from about here
HOT TOPIC Cosmetic Surgery

Not sure if its pasted from Microsoft word or just a lot of unnecessary formatting ,lots of empty <p> tags ?
try putting it in to paragraphs and style it from a style sheet.

Check it out on the W3 validator

as ghost said ...

lots of p tags ... lots of font styling in your code ? ..

no title for your document ? (home isn't the greatest in terms of SEO)

Table based design

Visually it seems quite nice ... but the clouds don't really remind me of a health clinic more of a ... investment broker or something like that ...

Your logo I'm unsure of as well.

the HOT TOPIC is .. yeah ... a bit EEK and screws up the formatting of the page

Chances I'll ever read through your full article there ... not likely ... not too nicely formatted .. no highlighting ... should be probably broken in pages and a few images thrown into the mix.

Just a few thoughts ... best of luck with it (only looked at the front page)

Thanks for the comments so far they are much appreciated.

For the HOT TOPIC should I type all the text in rather than cut/paste from Word as I done?

I am currently getting the site optimised and I am about 4 months into the project. How would you assess the progress so far and what else do I need to do? As you knoe SEO isnt cheap so I need to get my moneys worth

What do you guys think of the fuctionality of the site with regards to searching for a practitioner?

Cheers
Alan

Copy from word into note pad ... then paste it into the CMS window this should remove any formatting on the text and you can mark it up no doubt with the CMS WYSIWYG editor

to be honest its **** ....

Why ... because I have to read through all the info to get to the search function ... search function should be top and center (so to speak)

You're using tables ... which is a real no no for layout

no title tags (of any real use)

Text formatting seems to be all over the place ...

The html code for the home page is very badly written.

Failed validation, 364 Errors
[Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.thehealthclinic.ie/index.php - W3C Markup Validator

New <head> section starts 1/4 way down the page

On page formatting , not good

Code outside the </html> tag

If it were mine I would scrap it and start again with a css layout , about a days work ,

Its a simple 3 column layout you will find some examples here
The Holy Grail 3 column Liquid Layout. Pixel widths. Cross-Browser. Equal Height Columns.

Visually the top part of the home page is too cluttered 800px width a bit too small .
