My dad doesnt like the website i built him

If your dad wants to give the impression that he runs a professional business perhaps he needs to pay for a professional website.
 
Don't take this the wrong way but you should not be creating web sites.

Typos, grammatical errors, poor layout. The site looks terrible.

Tell your dad to pay someone to do a professional job. After it's done you will both be a lot happier.

I created a website for my dad and he doesn't like. After numerous consultations with him he still feels its not beautiful enough to start advertising with it though he is pleased with the layout.

I have removed the logo and contact details. How would you make it more appealing ? I am using a drag and drop software.

I offered to my a website for my dad's business. It was the worst Idea ever because when your dad says he wants something then he wants it now and I guess you are not doing this in normal office hours. Eventually after 3 years he got someone else to take over the website because I just did not have the time to keep updating it.

Like i said , he is happy about the layout , the arrangement and everything. Its just that it looks ugly to him.
 
Terrible site no offence, agreed if you want to do DIY use a template he likes, Wix or get a professional - in professional is what you are going (obviously) rather invest a bit
 
That site is horrendous, but don't give up hope, my first WordPress site looked equally as bad.

Step 1: Understand basic design principles (The use of colour, for starters).
Step 2: Get your Dad to give you a full brief of what he wants the site to look like. Bring him examples of colours or cool designs he might like (Pinterest is great for this kind of thing) and decide on a proper creative direction.
Step 3: Research WordPress templates. Start off with free ones, play around a bit, then find a nice responsive theme with good support. Expect to pay around $50 for one, but trust me it's definitely worth it if the site is going to represent a company.
Step 4: Get some professional graphics made. Plenty of sites like fiverr allow you to get decent quality images made for not much money.

Slap it all together and you'll have a great website while learning a lot in the process.

Good luck.
 
Most appropriate use of this pic EVER.

Your dad and all of us would disagree :). Seriously, take a few weeks off, get a bit of knowledge and exposure to other sites. Visit come popular design companies and browse through their portfolios. You just need to develop a bit of an eye for design.
