I just launched my business and my web site.... I will like for feedback from my peers. I've been looking at it every day and I think it will be good to have another set of eyes.

I know this is a work in progress and any good advice will be appreciated!!

Thanks so much!

I think your website is a great start. It's a little plain Jane but it's surpising how small additions can really change the page.

I would try to incorporate some kind of logo to create a graphical element to make the page pop more. At that point you could also add more color accents bassed off of your logo.

Hello Jessica,

I'd like to congratulate you on getting your site up and going. I know how much work is involved and your site looks very clean and easy to read. I'd say it is a fantastic start 'right out of the virtual gate'.

My suggestion is relative to your home page text. My suggestion is that the page be less about you and more about the solutions you provide.

So I feel that opening up a home page to 'What is YJG Virtual Assistant' is not really what people would be looking for if they would be looking for VA services.

I think the home page should be enticing. It should immediately give the user a reason to read more but the text as it is now reads more like a bio which deserves to be placed in another area of the site to be read once you have the user's attention.

My suggestion is to rewrite the home page to answer the questions why they might have arrived at your site. Are they missing phone calls? Are they missing opportunities because they are buried in work? Do they want to revamp their social media strategy to gain a greater presence on the web? The way your site is set up now...someone has to find the answers to their problems and if they have to do that, chances are they will leave the website and not return.

One of the more unique services you offer IMO is buried below the fold on your services page. The fact that you are bilingual in both written and speech is really unique and worth bringing to the forefront in some clever way.

Are you targeting customers who can use your bilingual services? I think this might be a good niche market for you. If so, you might want to cleverly write something in both English and Spanish on the homepage.

The website, as it is, by itself is OK but you don't want to be just OK. You want to stand out.

So I would suggest you revisit who it is you want to reach and then rewrite your pages to reflect the needs of your target market. What would he/she be looking for from you?

If you want to bring the bilingual talents forward, I think that is something very special that can help you stand out.

Hi there, Jessica!

Congrats on launching your website!

I agree with Janine - The fact that you are bilingual is a big deal. That should definitely be more prominent.

I like the clean, crisp look of your site, so if you make any updates or changes to your site, try not lose the "crisp".

Thank you ladies for the insight and advice!! It is a great burst of energy!!! I will go ahead and work on busting the Bilingual aspect of my business!! Thank you so much for your feedback, now I just have to find the words, LOL
Thanks
Jessica

Hi Jessica, I agree with the previous posts. Your website is a great start and is clean and easy to read. I also think you should focus more on being bilingual and promote your services more. One other point I would like to mention is that there are quiet a few typo's. I'd like to suggest that you clean these up asap, as if I were looking for a VA I definitely would not hire one with typo's on her website.
Like I said at the beginning, great start and good luck with finishing it off. I'm in the process of designing my own website as well, and have learnt from your's and the tips above!

Hi Jessica,
Great job on your website! A minor thing that I noticed is that it was a bit difficult to read the information on the services page. I'm not sure if it was because the text is centered or if maybe you need some additional space between the lines, but you might want to play around with that page a bit to make it easier to read. Good luck!

Thank you again for all the great constructive feedback. I already made some adjustments and updates....

Thanks again!

Hello, Jessica. I loved the whole look of your Web site. I did notice that there were some proofreading concerns that needed attention.

Please post your updated site. We all would love to give you additional feedback. I think you are really on to something with emphasizing that you are a great help for Spanish speaking support.

I know how it is with creating our own Web sites. I'm still constantly wishing to re-do my own!
