Have you contacted local designers? There would have to be many
good ones in Dublin, who know the city and would have a head
start for this reason alone.
It is not the lack of any real artist that makes your page so
awful, it is the lack of any sense of design (in web design this
is a different thing). Clearly, all the borders are a dreadful
mistake, including the double red one. So is the blind adherence
to centering all (you even centre text that explains things at
some length in pop outs). So, what I am saying is look for a web
designer whose work you like in the Dublin area, not necessarily
one that is any kind of "real artist".
