Default Critique Me Please!
Hey wonderful ladies of VA forums, how are you today?

So, I finalized my first site ever last week, can you tell me what you think?

I am new to this, so be honest, even if it is brutal. Because this is a representation of me and what I have to offer!

Thisdayva.com (English site name)
estediva.com

Thanks in advance,

Trudy

Ok, THIS website address seems to work:
http://estedia.weebly.com/index.html

I like your website. You have some great quotes on there. What I don't like are your photos. Don't understand me wrong, you look very pretty, but so pretty that the photos look more as if they are from some dating website. You need to get a normal passport-like photo for the business look. The pics look as if you've cut them out of other photos and it just doesn't look the part for a business.

Just go to a local photo shop and ask them for some head shots. Wear a nice white blouse and/or dark jacket, don't use too much red lipstick and you will look like a real CEO. I know how hard it is with photos. You want to look pretty, but you also need to look professional to get the clients' trust in your abilities. That's just my 2 cents.

Otherwise I like your website a lot.

Thank you so much for your valuable input. You are right about the photos, I thought about that myself. I love the passport idea. That method is way more affordable than trying to visit a professional photographer.

Thank you so much for taking the time to view my site. Your comments are extremely useful and will be acted upon immediately.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hi Trudy,

I really like your logo, tagline and graphics. My only complaint is that the type seems too small and faint for my eyes. Maybe it's old age on my part. Otherwise, it looks great!

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your time and valuable feedback as well. I looked your website just for curiosity sake. Oooohhh, the life of a flight attendant. Interesting!

Well, I adjusted the text. It looks much better too. Thanks for the tip once again. I think I am going to shut down the computer today before I get frusterated. I configured the DNS for my sites and ooooohh....*big sigh* hopefully everything will resume to normal by the morning.

I also had a big scare. My entire front page ERASED. *Gasps* Luckily, I had a browser open with my site, so no content was lost. Thank you God!

I apologize. I was configuring the DNS to point to my domain ThisdayVA.com...... having complications at this moment.

I like the logo and tagline as well. I agree with what has been said about the photos as well. That is a great idea for the passport photo.
Great job on the site, looks nice.

Keep up the good work
Kim

Thanks, I have come to a conclusion regarding the photos. I have a photographer coming to my home office to take a few shots of me in action, doing what I do best and where the magic takes place.
