Default New business, new website
I finally have my website completed! I feel like I have been working on that forever. Take a look and let me know what you think! And if there is something wrong with the formatting or something, let me know what browser you were viewing it in. www.virtual-online-assistants.com

Hi Layah,

I like the colors of your site.

I do recommend the following:

Front Page:
Ad a blurb about each of the selections you have.

Academic Services:
You can do a lot for a professor and/or student but you have a lot of "I"'s in your pitch. Consider revising your pitch to ad some You's and For You etc.

Any time a pitch is all about you can turn a client off.

Office Services:
Again there is a lot about you, you may want to check other VA websites to see how they use phrases and expressions for allowing the person reading your content to feel you are talking to them about them and not about you.

A lot of what I read should be in your About page. Your services page should be all about the client/customer and not about how you learned how to service those clients/customers.

Great job so far,
Andrea

Hello Layah,

I too like the colors of the site.

I think that your home page needs to be more descriptive of your business and links to services. I also had trouble finding the navigation bar...could you perhaps move this downward a bit? Also, your logo at the top is cut off a bit at the bottom.

I used to work for a top University and while I think the idea of the academic services are great, but just be cautious when working with the statistics students may want analyzed. If they fail to present these accurately, or understand them in a dissertation preview for example...this can cause significant problems.

Hi Layah, First of all congratulations on getting your site up and ready for review. I looked at your site in both FF and IE and the same problems arise with your name across the top, you need to adjust the "site name" and "logo". Your site name wraps around and pushes everything else below the header. See how Assistant is on the next line. I'd also like to see something more on your first page. You want to draw people into your site and read on.

You have a great logo and I'd like to see that as your favicon instead of that green M.

Seems to me you just have a few tweaks left to do for a great site.
Best of luck with your new business. I recall working on a thesis for Masters student in English. That was fun.

Cheers!!

I think it's great, don't be shy to make your text a little bigger. I couldn't enter my email though - might be my pc, but all the others are showing up. I just adore the colour scheme too!
