The current general consensus seems to be that meta tags are *not*
needed nowadays, other than meta descrption and robots.
See, for example,

(Interestingly, not being a dreamweaver user, I'd always thought that
the large list of metatags you quote were automatically inserted in DW
files: I've only ever seen them on DW-generated pages!)

The idea that the bloke who criticised the OP must be a rival is
hysterical: I once emailed a bloke from whom I had been considering a
four-figure purchase because his website didn't work on any of my
browsers (I later found out it *only* worked on IE). I got an
extremely stroppy reply from him, and said I was obviously just trying
to get him to pay me to redo his site (he claimed to have paid a
'professional web designer' to do it). I was nothing of the sort, but
when I suggested a couple of basic HTML books, he suggested I must be
getting some sort of kickback from the publisher: despite the fact
that I didn't even have the book titles linked to amazon or anyone
else.
Anyway, he obviously lost any potential interest I might have had in
his service, and given that I also told people on a couple of relevant
mailing lists, he lost a lot of money by his stupid attitude. Rather
like the current OP.

Besides, is there really a market for this sort of thing?
Surely most people would like to keep the whole thing under their own
quality control: web presence and finishing? (Just wondering.)

Donald,

Thanks for the constructive critisism, I've taken it all onboard.

The issue with the metatags is probably fair enough. (just something I
havent got round to yet).

And the right-click thing. OK, I accept this is a little unnecessary
these days. although I have seen worse. There is one photographic site
which (somehow) disables the clipboard and fills it with their company
name!

Point 3? Well the PO box thing is very handy (and cheap) and saves me
having to put my home address on the net. The phone number you see on
the web site is not actually a mobile number, it is a purchased number
which can be redirected anywhere, landline, mobile, etc. Again very
good if you want to purchase a number for life that wont be affected by
you moving office.

My business is also fully VAT registered, which make me a bit less
likely to seek a "quick getaway".

Still, I appreaciate your comments.
