Hi Everyone,

I am in the start-up phase of "Makesha Ramel Caldwell Business Support Services". Yeah, I know the name of my biz is really long but that was with all I could come up. My opening date is September 1st which gives me enough time to polish my skills & finish my website and business plan. I would really appreciate it if I could get some feedback on how my website is coming. I have only finished the header which is the easy part. Good luck to everyone....Ciao!

Hi and welcome to the family of VA’s! I'm glad you signed on with us! I love the look of your web-site so far and can't wait to see the finished product!!!

There's a post on our event calendar of a seminar relating to web-site start up, etc. You may want to check it out!

Hi,

Thanks for viewing my website. Especially on the web, many people believe that what they do is not noticed nor viewed. I am honored that you took the time. I will definitely look for the seminar. I have tried on my own to get an idea of how other VAs are doing their websites just by searching for VAs, viewing their websites, and taking into account of what I liked and disliked. Thanks again for the input and keep posting informational and inspirational posts. Ciao!

Hi Makesha, welcome and so sorry for such a long delay in replying! I've been out of town but am so happy to see you've joined us here.

First, let me say - I *love* the image of you on the site! Your smile is darling and I'm sure your personality is equally so - which will win you lots of great clients.

Second, I just this morning posted a request for services looking for someone exactly like you - what a coincidence You can check it out here, let me know if you'd be interested?

Congrats on the new biz and keep on with us here as you grow, I'm sure you'll be a fabulous addition to the forums

Also, I do a bit of web design so if you need help or have any questions about anything feel free to ask! But it looks great so far

Hello and welcome

Your website is great looking, simple and clear.
Although I have a little SEO (Search engine optimization) advice:
On your menu instead of VBA, use the whole term Virtual "Blog" Assistant.

This is because when a search engine parses your pages and finds all the URLs on your pages, then it takes a look at those pages but first it looks at the title of your link and if it's for example "Virtual "Blog" Assistant" then that is one vote for the page that link is pointing to, to be about Virtual "Blog" Assistant, but right now it's only VBA.
BUT
There is another (slightly weaker) way to enforce this, and it's like this:

Code:

<a href="default.aspx" class="MSC_PrimaryNavLink" title="What is a Virtual Blog Assistant">What is a VBA</a>

Notice: title="Virtual Blog Assistant" in the <a tag and also notice that I took those double quotes (around the "blog") out because the whole "Virtual Blog Assistant" is wrapped in double quotes and that's an HTML standard.

Although I prefer the first option, and that's a matter of personal preference

Please let me know if you have any questions.
