Please Review my Auto Detail Site(Keep in mind, I'm a total novice)

    I started this site about 9 months ago. Keep in mind when I built this site on a GoDaddy pre-selected template I knew nothing about computers; I didn't even know what copy and paste was. I've been in the industry for a long time and word of mouth has led me to be one of the most well known Auto Reconditon experts in the City of Houston. The thing is, I think my site has some good content and is very informative, but it lacks user friendlyness and I don't know how to do anchor links or anything like that. If I could just find someone to show me how to build a site or someone to build a site for a reasonable price I would be good. You don't need to tell me the look of my site s$(ks, I know that. Should I hire somebody to build my site and organize it the way it should be or go at it myself? I've learned a lot but I don't really have the time to be building a site or the expertise to get it how I want it. Also, I'm on the first page of Google for many keywords, and I know if I could make my site easier to navigate I could move up even more. I guess my main question would be who to contact to help me design it? And my only other question is how in the world do you get "Title Tags". I had to change my "Homepage" to "Detail Authority" just so when my site came up on a SE it would be more visible. Thanks for all the help

    Wow, you definitely need a website redesign, that's plain to see. However you should really pick a domain name and stick to it. Both of your sites have exact same content and google will only provide credit to one site and the other site will get the back-burner, so to speak. It looks like your site deals with a local service, right? What is that company's name? Go with that name for your website. If you're looking for domain design, coding and seo help just shoot me a PM, happy to help.

    I think for a first website effort it's pretty good :D I remember my first going back many years with jumping hippo's lol

    The header logo is perfect you just need to learn alignment/borders etc. Perhaps search for some new templates and muck around with for a while until you get the hang of it.
    Best of luck with your website

    Cheers

    I recommend switching to an easy to navigate Content Management System for your backend, that way you don't have to fuss with CSS or HTML coding, everything can be edited from a Graphical User Interface. Go with Wordpress, very easy to install and customize, plus it has seo functions built-in.
