Hey Everyone,

I found this really cool program to add animation to a website. I am not sure if I am going to stick with it though...

Could you please visit my website www.girlfridayvirtualassistant .com I have the animation on the first three pages (Home, About, Services)

If you could please review it and provide your feedback, I would appreciate it!

Vanessa,
It's very creative and original, I don't think I've seen that on any other VA's website yet.

It caught my attention, made me want to listen more to what the "girl" had to say. It explains right away what the type of business it is, and if you have any more questions, than you can look around.

I like it good job

Hi Vanessa, I've seen these around the net but don't think I've seen one utilized on a VA site either.

I don't have anything against it, it's a cute idea and something unique but I'm not sure if having it on every page (or more than one page...) is a good idea or just too much of a good thing...I honestly can't decide

It's definitely cute though!

I like it too Vanessa, the only thing I might suggest is only having it on the Home page. But it does definitely catch your attention and keep you listening

LOL, I'm playing with it now that she's stopped talking....her eyes follow the cursor...

Hi Vanessa,

I think it is a great idea for the home page. As others have said it may be much utilizing it everywhere else. What is great is that it makes you stop and listen. Rather than having to read the words, your animation says it all for you! It really is a great attention grabber.

My only thought was that the talking went on a little bit longer than my attention span allowed. Quite possibly that is because I just finished working for the day though.

All in all, I think you should definitely keep it for the home page! It's very cool.

Vanessa-
I think it's a great idea. I could maybe see it just on the homepage but it was a fun feature and it really got my attention! Very nice :-)!!

Hi Vanessa,

Yes, I think its a neat idea and very cute. I agree with the others about just having it on the home page.

Cheers,

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I was unsure if having it on more than one page would be over kill. I am going to stick with having it on my homepage for a while and see if I can get any further feedback. I have a 15 day free trial - might as well make the best of it right?

Thanks Again,

I didn't realize there was a fee for this - do you know how much it costs?

Ness Lindsay · #12 (**permalink**) 03-11-2008

There are several different packages that you can choose from. Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
You can get more information here.

I wanted to try it out. Though, I am not sure if I will be paying for the service unless I get some fantastic clients in the next 15 days because of this animation
