You should certainly get rid of that line of text that appears twice for no apparent reason.

Was that document made in 1995, and you have only just got around to putting it live?

I cant see my site on google

I really can't think of a good reason why Google would even WANT to list that ONE URL.

No content and more banner ads than anything else.

How long has it been live?

Thank you for you honesty.

I was told to keep things simple when it comes to websites,Do you think i need to write more about the pedalboards?

I though that most people wouldnt want to sit reading loads of writing about the boards.

Keeping it simple is one thing, having zero content is something else completely.

Simple means "Not overly fussy", or being "too busy". You have managed to make a single document "site" be overly fussy AND look "busy" with hardly anything useful on the page.

Do you think i need to write more about the pedalboards?

Yes!

For one, search engines don't see pictures and two, how will people know exactly what you do if YOU do not tell them?

I though that most people wouldnt want to sit reading loads of writing about the boards.

Sure but you need something. How do they know to trust you and what you are selling if you don't tell them about the products.

As it stands, your advertising banners are seen before any information about your products.

if you was me would you keep all info on one page? I was told that you do not need loads of pages like HOME, LINKS , STORE,CONTACT,GALLERY,ABOUT US,and so on.

That is the essence of design. You need to figure out what works in this situation. Do you need more info? Maybe, but you should first organize the info you have. "Keep it simple" refers more to the design and layout of the page. Find out what people want to know, and give them that right up front. Then, if there's more info they could benefit from, put it on there, but out of the way.

I'll give you a starting point:
Use the main page to convince people you are worth buying from.
Categorize your products on different pages, use thumbnails that link to the large images. Important info, including price right next to the picture. Less important but still necessary info below. Make a contact page. If you have something to say about your company that makes it stand out from the rest, throw in an About page. Otherwise, leave it out.

Who on earth has been "advising" you with crap like that???

A "website" consists of as many pages as you need to list your products, tell people about them and how to buy them.

If you need a store, have a store

If you need a gallery, have a gallery.

A contact page is pretty much needed if you want people to actually contact you.

An "about us" document tells visitors about what you do, which is pretty useful in my opinion.
