I can see you put a lot of work into it but you have lots of problems.

The text in the red bar for your navigation is virtually unreadable. Change the text color to white or something light so that you can actually READ what's supposed to be there. The text on the gray tabs is also not a good color.

Your page title is not good at all:
<title>bronze valve bronze body bronze fitting bronze drain fire parts gunmetal</title>

Your Title should not be a bunch of keywords, it should be a real TITLE. At least put the company name in there, maybe something like "NMZ - Manufacturer of plumbing supplies in mainland China"

You have TWO <html> tags - remove the one that is in front of your DOCTYPE declaration.

Your images are missing the "alt=" attribute. Unless the image is for decoration only, you should have text in the alt attribute for each image.

WOW.. I can't really see the menu bar text. The meta tag keywords and description will not get you anywhere on search engine.

A agree what LadynRed said.

Already said what i had to say.
I think you should even work on the log. Make is a very clear font and dont use textures that way it is easy to reproduce in black and white and stickers etc.
Follow a color combination in relation to the colors of the logo. Can be in contrast or in harmony.
I suggest if you are not good in colors.(like me) but have found our base color you can use tools like colorimpact
http://www.tigercolor.com/
Or maybe there may be free tools that do the same.
This will help with your color combination.
I feel you have to hide the products subcategories bar when you click on other sections of the menu.
There is a lot of room for improvement here. But I am sure you can get there pretty quickly
Best of luck

Its not bad at all for a first timer. I'm guessing its Joomla, and you've made the right choice with the CMS. The site needs some rework with the menus.
Its a bit messy. Thats all.

Not bad overall design and layout, but the content needs work. You need to establish right away what the company does and is about. Also, there are gramatical errors in the text that need to be addressed.

Last, but not least, those menu buttons need IMMEDIATE HELP.
