Default Need Help! Can you take a look at my site and see what I have to change?
I just completed my site but I'm still in the process of putting it together. Can you all please take a look at tell me what I need to change? Your comments would be appreciated.

I am working to get my SEO up with the meta descriptions and will have those online soon.

Thanks a million!

Hi Lisa,

I love the photos you've used, especially the guy on the Contact Us page.

Is it possible to widen the main content section? I see that some of the items are popping out on the right side.

Also, you've presented your email address differently in different places, sometimes with capitals and sometimes without. On the Terms of Agreement Page it's spelled incorrectly but links to a different email address altogether. It's not a big deal as you will receive the messages anyway, but some clients might see it as not being attentive to detail.

Hey Janet!

Thanks! I've made the change! I appreciate the input!!! This is why it's not finished yet. It's always good to have another set of eyes looking at it.

Hi Lisa

I'm on IE7 and still getting the 'popping out' on the right side of the site - like your main site frame is too small for the sidebar? Try increasing the container size...

On your About Us page I might suggest moving some content up to the top (above the images) so your visitor doesn't have to scroll down to start reading. Breaking it up in the middle with images (so they're still partially visible above the fold) will allow you to maintain the color, etc. on the page at first glance but will also make it easier for your reader to get the info they want.

I really like the look of your site overall - so far so good! And great logo!

Thank you Tess,

I put the boxes that "pop" out at the right to give them more attention. Almost like a "sticky" note to the site. All the "pop" outs are either the chat room, contact information, the calculator or my experience. Are they too distracting?

Thanks again!

I see
I didn't realize it was intentional - I tend to be very linear when it comes to the borders and margins of a site so it looked to me as if it was a 'mistake' - sorry I totally misunderstood!

I am marketing myself to more of a "creative" client. Maybe Marketing/PR or television/film producer type of client. I intentionally did that to make it stand out more. Do you think it's distracting or should I just make them all linear?

Again, thank you so much for the feedback. I really appreciate your time and energy!

Love the colours and lay-out, but personally I am not sure about the "popping out".

The photos are great also. I noticed that on some pages you have "Back to the top" on the bottom but not in all.

Wishing you the best with your business.
