        Hi Fanny

        The problem you have there is just too much common content, also the top two pages have very little content. When Google indexes your site it scans all of the on-page content and you have common content blocks on all three pages.

        1. You need to remove those block at the bottom so they do not appear on every page. Professional Web Design, Outstanding Content etc - look at the footer also as it is big, filled with content that appears on every page.

        2. No page should have fewer than 300 words of richly descriptive, well-written content plus an image with the alt text of the page theme. I can't see any image alts.

        By doing this you will separate the pages apart from each other and there will be sufficient variance in content to avoid any problems with duplication. It makes it much easier for the theme of the page to be identified.

        Siteliner is pretty good in spotting common content issues as well: http://www.siteliner.com

        Regards

        Nigel
