My first web site!
Hi everyone!

Can you give me some constructive criticism about my site?

I realize I need to add more when I blog, but I haven't written anything yet and the "keystroke" blurb was a test to see if it would go to the correct place.

I haven't worked with SEO, that's my next adventure.

Shoot, Joy - I got a '500 Internal Server Error.' Couldn't go look at your new baby...

You might want to place your rss and tweet icons closer to your Facebook icon so that clients can click on it immediately. I didn't know until i scrolled down and found it there. Looks great though. Good Luck.

Great job, Joy!

I like the quotes that you peppered throughout the site. That, along with your About Me page, really helps me get a sense of the person I would be working with, which makes me feel a lot more comfortable about contacting you! And like the others, I really like your color scheme, too.

The feedback I'd offer is that the two overlapping swirly designs at the top of your page kept grabbing my attention away from the content. (That I'm sure you worked hard on.) Lines encourage the eye to travel along them, and with so many lines starting and stopping in different places, it felt a bit dischordant. It's sort of hard to describe in words, but my eyes kept moving back up there, like it wasn't quite fading into the background. This is your own personal decision, of course! I think that showing your personal style is very valuable. But I'd suggest choosing just one background to keep up there, and getting rid of the other one, because I think that will help direct the reader's focus to your content, which is where all the important stuff is!

Good luck and again, nice job on your site! I hope it gives your business a boost!

Finally I was able to see your new baby, Joy. I really like it! I'm a huge fan of line drawings, etc. that draw from nature, so you had me there.

Great job!

ETA: I didn't find the swirls to the left distracting at all - it adds to the overall look.

I like your website, Joy. Very easy to navigate and I love the colors! I too will be providing paralegal and office support and have used 2 separate pages like you, which I think is a great idea!

Best of luck to you, keep up the good work!

I like it, Joy. It has a clean, professional look & feel. I loved the keyborad shortcuts. You had two there that I didn't know about. Thanks!
