I'll have to agree with the others on most points here. Particularly that you are in no position to be calling other people's websites good or bad at this stage. People in glass houses and all that.

However, I also agree that you should just keep learning. You'll get there. I see some of my first sites in what you have created and you'll pick up more and more over the next few months and years.

A few things I would look at next if I were you;

1. Maybe step away from creating a business website at the moment. You just CAN'T ask for money at this stage. Do you have a hobby that you could create a site about where the quality doesn't matter whilst you learn?
2. CSS and div tag based layouts. Stop using tables. Particularly take this line out of 'advice'; "...and how to create tables in your website so that images and text can be put on the same line."
3. Check your website in different browsers and at different screen resolutions before you publish it. It is sticking off the page on my computer.
4. Lose or move the Google ads (yuck)
5. Take out the good and bad websites because the bad ones look like yours and the good ones blow yours away.
6. Have a friend read through your content.

Don't mean to be harsh or for you to be disheartened because we all started somewhere. Just think you've jumped the gun a bit with building a business site.
