You *must* start listening to people, Luigi. I'm sure your business
acument and capability in your field is perfectly suited to your
business, but your web development skills are seriously lacking. You
*must* get professional help on it. OK, employing a pro. to do it will
cost a few Euro, but how much is your business worth to you? If all
it's worth is the web site you've got at the moment, it can't be worth
much.
If "this page is not available yet" why is there a link to it? Where's
the consistent, familiar navigation? Where's the style? Where's the
design? Where's the standard layout?
The site you've got has grown far to fast with no consideration for
design or usability. If you did have both points as considerations at
the start of your project, it's all been negated due to the cataclysmic
expansion of the site.
Whenever you ask a question, you get plenty of answer from professional
developers and enthusiastic, knowledgable amateurs, but you never
listen. You just bimble along in Luigiland, convinced that what you
have is worth using. What you have at the moment is, to be frank,
awful.
