The site looks a bit pre-dated, in the sense that it looks a bit pre 2000 with regards to layout and the text being used.
I wouldn't suggest using the baby image for the banner on the main page as if this is supposed to be a business website, the image of the child is used in the wrong context. SOme poeple could take the site not as seriously as they should.

Sorry to be a critic, but you don't have to listen to it, it's just my opinion.
But it looks like all your sites style and design look very pre-dated, almost expect sites like that to be developed pre-2005.

Well al the best then for your courses, sites aren't too bad at all when if you're just starting out, i remember a few that i did, and if i look back now they were terrible.
Good luck to you man, and all the best in web design

We wanted to keep it very simple, straightforward, no nonsense but also that way to enhance SEO - i.e. text heavy rather than image heavy.....

A few sites done lately
Sinead, not a bad site, although, if you are not going to be using graphics to enhance the appearrance of your site, I would suggest using a different font to separate it from the everyday sites you get out there, perhaps tahoma or trebuchet MS, font size 11. Instead of setting your font size="2" for your headings, rather use heading tags eg. <h2></h2> to make your headings more prominent.
These are the 2 latest sites that I have done. Have a look and let me know what you think.
The first is www.gurhymortgagesdirect.com and the second is http://www.sunningdalemews.com.

thanks for that Lostinireland. Good words of advice. i'll bear that in mind.
I like the look of your sites - they are 'busy' but not overly so. The second one promoting the holiday homes is especially nice, i'm guessing that you've sold up the place alot and enhanced its appearance cleverly by the images you used and the way you presented it. how did you do the little photos with the quotes underneath 'pinned' up on the left hand side?

Thanks for the comments, the images was quite easy, i think you could do it in almost any graphics package, however the one i mostly use is Macromedia Fireworks.
It's as simple as creating a white box, adding a drop shadow to it and then flattening it. Just ensure that once you flatten it you are happy with the way it looks. Once you have done that, you take your rubber and then just rub out a box inside your white box with the shadow. Place your image that you want behind your whit box and then position it however you want to.
Remember to leave enough space at the bottom of your image when you are cutting out your box to be able to put text on it. and then once you have placed your image, put your text on it, try using monotype corovia or some script font,. and then walla, you're done. If you have fireworks, I can send you the .png file if you want.
