Maybe it will help you if you define what do you want. Do you want to get job for your business or you want to freelance as a person? Go from there.
Review the mission and objectives from both your business and your personal life plan and decide what to do.
You may want to present yourself as a person, but if you find out an opportunity for your company in your interview, then talk about the other services your company does.
As an extra advice: show determination and security. There could be different rates in different places, but you must know your price.
Man, you have a business. Ask yourself how much will you be willing to pay to a Freelance?
PS. I’m from Mexico, so posting my local rates will not help you.

Your links are different. As I told you before, you site is dynamic. It’s a PHP site.
If you look at the status bar in your browser, every time you click no a link it changes. For example, click on the FAQs and the first time the link will target this URL:
https://www.pakenhamosteo.com.au/faq.html?showTopic=faq
Then, click again the FAQs and it will show this:
https://www.pakenhamosteo.com.au/index.php?showTopic=faq
See? the first time the link goes to the page called faq.html and sends a variable of showTopic=faq
The second time it goes to index.php and sending the same variable.
Why does this happen? Well, impossible to say without looking at the PHP code. My advice is, if you don’t know anything about PHP, get someone who does and can fix you the code. I can’t do it here, because the PHP code is rendered in your server before I can actually look at it. Someone needs to get into your computer and see where is your code hidden.

A few SEO tips I think can help you:
-Use meaningful document names (instead of about.htm use about_myCompany_in_myPlace.htm)
-Use meaningful document titles. Leave your company name at the end of each title and add your keywords at the beginning.
-Create landing pages. If you are interested in attract clients who want commercials in your zone, one of your pages should target those words. Two or tree for page. For a different target, create a different page. Repeat the keywords in your content, but keeping them meaningful.
-Use semantic HTML. Actual web standards look for clean code. All of your styles should be made with CSS, leaving a clean HTML code for the spiders to read. Avoid, if you can, Table layouts.
-The Youtube and external links advice is great, but it’s used for SEO campaigns. If I got you right, you just want to improve your actual siteto be make it more “searchable”. To achieve that, the best rule is to have great content. Text content. Meaningful content.
I hope this helps

I don’t understand what do you mean when you say “converter”.
But one the most popular free solutions for e-commerce out there is os-commerce.
A more modern alternative is zen-cart.

A friend on his 60s told me the difference for him was the “don’t touch that” culture in which he grew up.
He said it’s amazing how today children play with cell phones the same way they play with toys.

The senior producer could hire a young assistant to help him with the computer stuff.
It would be a win-win partnership. Skills on new technologies and experience on the field.
That can be a great team.

Some software, like Dreamweaver, have tools to automatically fix common code problems, but most of the times you need to fix them manually.
To do that, open your HTML page in a text editor. You can use a simple text app like WordPad on Windows or you can download one code specialized app. I use Notepad++
Then, go line by line and make the fixes. Some of the validator alerts aren’t that important, but pay special attention to those marked as critical. Also, every error comes with an explanation. Don’t forget to read them all.
I hope this helps

The site looks OK on FF and IE8 on Vista 64.
However, as Mike and Jameson says, there are some issues in your code. You’ll find them following the validation links they posted.
The DOCTYPE is particularly important.

Unfortunately, this HTML editor doesn’t seems to be able to insert plain text at all.
What I was doing was inserting the plain text from a database inside a
<PRE>tag in my page. But when I started using this utility I removed the PRE and placed the inserted code directly. Of course I had to change all my texts in the database from plain to HTML and modify the display pages. In my case there weren’t many so it was no big deal.I hope your project is not about re-formating Wikipedia.
