Wonderful site! I love how the colors create a fresh look. The graphics are great and I love how you used a professional photograph of yourself. I've seen many VA sites where it was a personal photo and it just doesn't look professional.

Your site is easy to read and has a ton of valuable content. I also like the uniqueness in your navigation titles. I think that makes you standout and shows your clients your creative abilities.

I've already "liked" your facebook page!

Happy "half-a-versary"!

I think your new site is great! It reflects personality and uniqueness but yet easy to navigate around. Nice job!

Hello,

I think that your slide show logo takes up too much valuable real estate on the home page. While it is very clever and your headshot is very attractive, the user has to scroll around trying to find what it is that you can do for the client. In other words, people can't see what you do and the solutions you provide unless they click on the navigation menu. The large slide show is also repetitive information. You list your name and your company name at the top with the cartoon of yourself and then it is repeated again in the large slide show.

I would use the slide show area to appeal to people who come to your website. I would use that section to show what it is you can do for people. Once you have their attention, then they can click and scroll around finding out more about you.

You've done a beautiful job with the colors, the images and the robust content.

Good luck and congratulations on the new site. Nice job!

Janine

Gosh - thanks for all the valuable input and great suggestions everyone! I'm so glad you took the time to 'check out my site'... just on a funny note - that's not a professional photo.My sister took it at a wedding shower and it was just flukey good. LOL

Nice job Lisa! You can feel your personality coming through and I really liked the use of "Wall of Awesome" over the usual Portfolio. I'm just gearing up to learn Wordpress and will be redoing my website over the next month or so and your site has inspired some new ideas.

Also, congrats on the six month anniversary!!

Looks good. I really like the Twitter link, maybe you could get the web address as a real link. Some general comments.

The page needs a little more adjustment as the row of bookmarks is not fully shown.
There are no page Description or Keyword metatags.
You have no sitemaps, See my website sitemaps article.
I would have left a comment, but do not like leaving an email address, as you have no privacy policy shown.
