Here's what I've found: Home Page - most commonly this page is used to educate the potential client about what a VA is & how the client can benefit from using the services of a VA. About Page - this page is used to list your credentials & experience. Hope this helps. Lezly

Thank you so much Lezly. I feel kind of dumb having asked the question now. It seems so obvious now that you said it :-) If I do it that way, I guess it would eliminate the need of a seperate page of "why hire a va", don't you think? __________________ Tanja http://www.englishgermanvs.com

I always think of the home page like walking into an interview. You want to present a polished and professional image because that is the first page vistors will view and first impressions are lasting impressions. __________________ Pam

A trick I used with my first home page was to use the content in my brochure and expand it. This really helped me to get pass what am I going to put on this blank page. __________________ Ruth M Callejas, Lead Consult Admin & More Taking Care Of The 'To Do' List, So You Can Take Care Of Business
