Can Google see the text on my page?

I just hired a programmer to develop a website for me (coadb.com).

If you click "view details" on each arms, a page appears containing the text.

My concern is that Google can't see any of my text. If I view the source on my page, none of the text appears...

Is there anyway to remedy this? I really like the design and usability, but it's all for nothing if Google can't see my text...

    Download this web/dev Firefox plugin, use the 3 plugin settings below to simulate a Google Cache (text version) of your webpage.
    • Disable all javascript
    • Disable all images
    • Disable all styles

    If you can see the text/links while viewing a text only version of your page, Google can see the same text/link.

    [edit]
    I used the web/dev plugin while viewing your Home page (coadb.com), there's plenty of text/links but you need to verify those text/links are what's important. Try the web/dev plugin & make some on-page tweaks If necessary.

      Google has text on the main page crawled, that is,
      what little is actually there.

      The other, I could not find it.

      Nothing beats plain text.

      That site should use standard images and text, along with a complete
      reworking of the site structure.

      For example, you should not have:

      "Buy Coats Of Arms - Armes To Branton" on the main page, as well
      as putting that as its title. Makes it seem like the whole site only sells
      from A to B.

      Your main page should have none of that on there. It should be an introductory
      page to the whole site. In other words, you seriously need real main page that
      links to that current page and all others. You should only do a couple of examples
      on that first page.

      If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.
