Congratulations on building your site. What an awesome feeling.

On the home page I think it should read like this "and enable business people (to) find the success they originally set out to achieve."

On the services page I agree with Pam that you need to show the benefits to the clients.

On the Rates page, I also have to agree with Pam that you are charging much too low.

You did awesome for a free site.

Thank you all so much for the feedback. I battled with my rates for a long time. I bumped it up to $30!!

As for an easier domain name, I'm working on that. Have to take care of all of my college expenses first!

You all are the best.

NeKola,

I would suggest that you use a domain as was discussed here. The annual fee will pay for itself in just one client who types in your keywords to find you. I'm afraid no one will remember the office live url easily.

Not to discourage you at all but I speak from experience having used Office Live when I first opened my biz a few years ago.

There are two problems I found with OL...one was that the SEO in the searches was low in part because the sites are designed with templates which are difficult for the search engines to generate.

Another problem I had was when the time came to open up a website that would be suitable for customizing with keywords and proper tags, along with the ability to customize it to my taste, none of the information is transferable to a host site. I had to redo the entire new site from scratch.

I understand the expenses of just starting out can be difficult. It costs about $7 a month to host your own website, about $10 to buy a domain and the time to use a free WP template to get a customized, SEO-ready site for your new customers.

Food for thought for the future.

Janine

NeKola,
I second the advice you have been given so far. Very attractive sight. Good choice of career to support. Way to go on the rates!

I did find one small type: on month to month contract, you have month to moth.

Mary

Thank you all for the wonderful advice and corrections. You guys are the best!!!!

Loved your site. There is a small typo on the rates page where you talk about charging for "outstanging" invoices...should be outstanding.

Good luck!

Thank you Stacey! Made the change.
