Default My website is Up!
Hello all,

OK, after months of screwing around with this, my website is up. And kudos to Darlene Victoria (dvictoria) and Tammi Metzler (write associate) for doing this for me! I won a site redesign and copywriting services through a chat they did here on the forum. Actually, another VA won it and did not claim her prize. So second drawing, I got it. Thanks so much to whoever didn't claim it! I really needed it. I had a domain, wordpress installed and had just purchased the Headway Theme. But didn't really know what to do with it all. These girls really rescued me. I know there are still things to do, like my rates table and my comparison chart colors need to match but all my links work and I look like a real business now. So thank you so much Tammi and Darlene!

So take a look and tell us what you think! All comments are welcome! It was overall a pretty painless experience and I highly recommend you check out their services.

And if you like the Headway Theme, feel free to click on my link to get it and I believe you will get a discount and I will make a couple of dollars. My first foray into affiliate marketing. Somebody show me that it works! LOL

Thanks, have a great day!

Kathy

Hi Kathy!

I was wondering who won that web makeover! Congratulations!

Your site looks great! Your banner, with those blue rays coming off your logo, is really striking! I like your use of blue headings to break up your text. I also like that your changing photos on the Home page don't change quickly. It's not distracting at all.

Overall, it's very clean & appealing. You'll be getting customers in no time!

Kathy, I absolutely love it. It is both aesthetically pleasing and professional, the color scheme is very cohesive and your logo is great. I didn't read any of it, just skimmed, but the overall look is awesome.

Kathy,
I loved the website, especially your logo header. Darlene and Tammi did a fantastic job with it. I'm supposing you had some help in it as well, so kudos to all three of you. I agree completely about the rotating photos in the sidebar. It was so gradual that it was kind of like, "Oh that's really nice," instead of something that drags your eyes away from the text. It looks wonderful! Congrats on a great website.

Hi there Kathy,

Your website looks awesome! Very nicely arranged and professional! The graphic on top is great too! I am not sure if this is standard, but would you also want to have a section that is "About Us" if people want to learn about your you & your company's background (unless it is there and I am not seeing it)?

All in all, a great job!!

Good luck to you!

Rachel

Great job on your new site. The header is very eye-catching and the flow is nice.

Couple of suggestions; having your contact us link higher on the page works with one of the best pieces of advice I ever received - keep what's important above the fold - before you have to scroll.

Having an about us section or page - tell your visitors who you are in a way that is a clean and clear as the rest of your site.

Hope this helps, keep up the great work and good luck with your business.

Thanks for the comments! Funny, i had the Home page named About Us originally but changed it to Home. I am working with trying to do an About Us that gives a little bit of my personal background. My problem is I keep writing it, starting out professionally but next thing I know, I am 5 paragraphs into it and talking about galloping racehorses and selling boats. lol. Focus, Kathy, it is not an autobiography!

Well done Kathy. I'm about now where you were 7 months ago. I hope mine turns out as good as yours.

I really like the colour scheme. It's not difficult to focus on. I agree about having a little about you.

A question for you Kathy. Is your website done on Wordpress and if so, how big isyour SQL database attached?

I only ask I my potoential web host has limit to the database size. I need an indication as to whether the plan for my site will be under or over that limit.

Thanks

Fiona
