Tend to agree, aside from the technical aspect of you getting the site
up (congrats!), content is highly suggestive, and it's probably not the
right forum for "how to make my webpage pretty and saleable".
There are plenty of sites that help you with design, but I'd suggest
looking at wordpress or something as a cms, pick a theme (or pay for a
nice pro one), then add content. You know what _good_ websites look
like - not that. You need format, imagery, some moderately appeasing
visuals that make me somehow feel you're not a 5th grader or a nigerian
scammer that made a site with m$ frontpage '98 to exploit l-users. I
can set up web servers all day, but my sense of aesthetics are terrible
(why I'm an engineer and not a graphic designer), so I don't dare bother
making an actual website. I'd say get some professional design help if
you're trying to make cash at this.
Seeing the page, I feel like if I were on windoze, I'd be infected by
half a dozen worms by now. No offence, just being honest.
