Hey Bish! Because I love ya' I won't even charge you for my professional advice! Forget Salty Duck, you a lucky duck!
First, I love the name. You can certainly build a strong brand with a funky cool name like Salty Duck. Love the logo too!
So, this is what I would do -- I would have a LARGE photo box showing hot chicks using flash tech to rotate the photos. I would put the other images that are currently on your homepage, on a different page (maybe events?) and be careful what pics you post. Screen them carefully (get rid of the empty bar pic) and shoot for funny shots & hot chicks. Sex sells, some even sells cheap! :)
In the homepage intro paragraph, you invite people to check out the events page, so hyperlink that text to the events page.
What do you think about adding a drink special/events calendar to the events page? Whatever you decided, don't let the content lag in date. The last impression you want to give is the last fun event happened two months ago.
That's all for now... If I have time I'll do more of an analysis.
I know you are using Big Daddy.com, but consider buying this url and putting up your own so you can rid yourself of the banner at the top. Big Daddy knows what they are doing, and that's the MOST valuable space on your page.
Oh, and when you get crackin', negotiate with your venders for services/merchandise in exchange for ad space on your site.
When you get a little $, I know the BEST photographer. I mean the BEST. He can make poop look good. He's amazing and worth every penny.
Okay-dokey...
Send me your logo and your best three pics and I'll make you some sweet marketing shit. Posters... business cards (way easy) or postcards, coupons whatever.
