I love your colors!

The only item I see is at the paragraph of Get Value for Money at Find the right person? You may need to double space between the paragraphs. The same with the paragraph above it.

Other than that it looks great! Congrats!

Thank you, Minky in an extremely good client

I've had a really interesting response - it seems to be a marmite site, but people either love or hate me too so thats fine...

Hi Sara,

I love the layout of the site and the colors. I also like your company name and what luck that it is your own name. Very clever.

I don't see how the tag line, 'virtually everything done for you..' aligns with being Above Parr. I would consider something to go with the clever name of the company that shows how 'above Parr' you and your company are. 'Reaching the virtual bar with Above Parr" or something like that.

I think the Minky idea is fine. It is not for everyone and in some ways is risky because it adds a non-business aspect to the site. However, I like it though and I think that if done well, you can blog about Minky's business and use this as a good tool for promotion. It could go further, perhaps eventually where you could market Minky on merchandise and your advertisement. It is a fine line between being a joke and sending a serious message but I do like the idea.

I would suggest a better photo of Minky perhaps being propped up on a stand. He looks a bit tired.

The only other thing I wasn't sure of was why does the site have a log in feature at the top and at the bottom. If people need to log in, then I would explain why they need to do so. Does that allow them to have access to member-only areas?

Good luck.

Janine

Hi Janine

Thank you - you wouldn't believe the number of potential husbands I had to go through to get one with a good name!

The idea of the "virtually everything" tag line was a play on words - generally a PA within a company does pretty much "everything" (or at least they tend to over here) and by using our services it would be done"virtually"

At networking events I talk about what Minky has been up to and there's always a problem that can be solved by using a VA (he has a variety of outfits depending on the problem - everything from looking like a hell's angel to pyjamas - OMG how sad is that??? )

You're right though he does need a better photo and one is coming very shortly... (I can't do the one of him in his PJ's at the moment though - a certain pop star dying would make that VERY inappropriate )

The login is to get reminders whenever Minky posts a new article (for now - but it will expand over time)

Wow, your site is brill. I like that it is colourful and choose whether or not you want the navigation menu in view or not.

Well done.

I love your site, Sara! Aw, Minky is such a cute and creative idea which I liked, too. I'll be checking back to see what Minky has been up to.
