Default Does my Home page look too cluttered?
Hi Everyone,

I've been playing with my website as usual!

Does the Home page look to cluttered and have to much information that I should move to a different page?

To be honest... I was really overwhelmed... there was too much information on that page. My eyes weren't sure what to read first.

Yes But you must already know this or you wouldn't be asking...
I would take a look at what you've got on the page and how it's laid out and rework so the front page is in two columns - one main paragraph of info/pain points/calls to action and then a sidebar with 'extras' etc.

Ok that's what I thought....thanks for the honest input. I'll rework it and let you know when I'm done to check it out again.

Hi Deb,

I tend to agree with Bette. I think your home page could benefit from a little less. However, having said that... removing the underlines might help. They shouldn't be there if there is no link to follow. It is a little confusing. Try removing them and see how it looks.

Also, your title tags still need a little more work. Take off 'home' and space each tag out just a bit. Also, don't forget to include some of your best services in your tag on your services page. And take your most important keywords from each page and place one or 2 of them in the tags on each page. And don't forget to read the SEO section of the forums. I know it seems complicated and boring but its worth it.

That's a more useful response than mine. Sorry... It's Friday and my brain wants to shut down.

It looks alot better than before.

How about condensing "How to work with a Va" and " What is a VA". I'm not sure there is a need to use both. Also the font colour for "10 tasks" seems to throwing me off. The title doesn't stand out.

Looks good -

I found one itsy bitsy typo!

Under Terms & Billing, it should be "accept" instead of "except". I definitely wasn't looking for spelling, it just kinda popped out to me.
