Grammer - misspelling. Correct word is grammar.
Probelms - misspelling. Correct word is problems.

The problem with having a web site that
receives little traffic does not really
pertain to the look and feel of the site,
it's the content on the pages.
Gramatically incorrect. "the problem... does not pertain to ..., it's the contents."
Reword it, or break it into 2 sentences.

Quote:

Web pages that have bad grammer, no structure or
just plain boring will not get repeat visitors.
Grammer is mispelled again.
Should read "... or are just plain boring..."

Quote:

Here at CopyWrite Plus we completely
understand the purpose, functionality
and the overall components of a web
site.
Grammar again. Try "...the purpose, the functionality and the overall..."

Quote:

Our corporate division are web
developers and we incorporate these
services to better help you with your
web site copy and editing.
Gramatically incorrect:
"Our corporate division ..." - that's singular.
"... are web developers..." - that's plural.

Quote:

Our extremely talented writers will
Check, Double Check and Triple Check
your web site content during and after
your project is complete.
This statement is contradicted by the evidence of your work as on the very page we're talking about - and what's with all that capitalisation? Check, Double Check and Triple Check are neither the start of a sentence nor proper nouns.

What does
"... check your website during and after your project is complete." mean?
Try " ... check your website during construction and after completion".

Few things
are more unprofessional than poorly
written or misspelled text on your
business website.
Agreed

Quote:

And inaccurate information is even worse,
nothing will destroy your credibility more
quickly than misstating the facts.
You need a full stop (period for the Americans) after "...worse".
"misstating" is that a word? maybe mis-stating - but I could be wrong. If it was me, I would check it.

Otherwise, I agree with the sentiment.

Quote:
What are you talking about!?, please
point out the problems!?
Done, as requested.

Quote:
Also, the slogan is: Collaborative
Writing Achievements
Aahh! I see. Well actually I don't. I looked and I peered and still I couldn't make it out, but I'll take your word for it.

Quote:
if you can point out some of my
mistakes it would be a great, help!?
Always glad to be of help (but you don't need that comma before help, or the question mark after it - it wasn't a question).

Now take the feedback in good faith - you asked, I answered.

You're asking us to promote you as professional copywriters so I think we have a right to expect your site to be impeccably copywritten - not to mention proof-read.

By the way, lots more to go at on the homepage. I'm ready whenever you are.

Nice site by the way!
