How many clients do you have currently?
Feel free to contact me on Skype and perhaps we can discuss it at more length and figure out what you can do.

Best things I can think of to help bring customers in:
- Advertise on WHT weekly.
- Update branding if needed, change your name, logo, get a mascot.
- Good promotions (20-50%).
- A new website design.
We change our layouts yearly, or every 6 months depending if it looks outdated or if we can improve it. Just a few tips.
For example, your website at the moment is a bit dull (Black and Grey colours) give it a splash of colour.
Maybe put a Christian cross instead of the globe. Just a few things I could think of for you mate.

Oh, maybe MammothHost or MammothHosting might of worked, one thing I have learned in the industry since I've been in it, is we need catchy unique names. Speaking of Mammothhost haha: mammothhost.co.uk Just found that on google.
One thing which would stop me using that host as a customer would be:
- Can't see their address / or a about us page.
- Very small terms of service and when I closed it, the site vanished.
How long was "mammothinghosting" open for mate?
Just found your cute mascot aww ;D on your main website Mitchell Group.
Few names I found free:

Few things:-
Use a normal name/ brand. (nothing which represents a group of people or is slightly fearing)
Use a design which do not looks dull, nor like a website for kids.
Try to use .com
Be active in forum(s), post your ads in multiple forum.
Put quotation if someone is looking for something which you can provide.
You can buy some ad spot(s) is related forums and website (if willing to spend some money).
Do not,
Get a paid review. (-)
Abuse other providers in a forum for no-reason. (-)
For other thing's you can contact me on Skype.

Not trying to sound mean to the designer, but that is gross mate. The colours don't go together.
Browsing that forum for you I found a smart one but it's just a PSD and could be re-sold to anyone so not unique. Not sure about the buttons on the left though.

Not actually, do not look nice.
What @CW Mike showed is much better.
Try to use a clean design.
You can hire a web designer for that.
Just kidding, like me
But other than the design take care of other things as well.
As I and other wrote above.

Sounding a bit more professional might also help on forums. If you sound like a 12 year old kid (Im not saying you are) when typing around forums and what not, customers will think that they are investing in something that is unreliable. Unfortunately you have to spend big to gain big if that makes sense. Your domain name is "iffy" to say the least. It will put off users from other religions I would suspect and almost makes your business seem tailored to one group of people rather than for everyone. My two cents.
