Wohoo I have continued working on my site and it's now up at www.simplicityva.co.nz (it's not finished - but then again I don't think they ever are are they?). Onto SEO and tweaking next.

Mandy, looks good

An important note: I'm on IE7 and your sidebar (the 'more about us' section) is down at the bottom of the main content on each page of the site) Then, the rates page is spread out in quite an odd way, with your 'packages' and 'retainer plans' content spreading out to the right outside the intended frame of the page.

Also, when I click the 'contact' link it jumps the page frame into the middle of the screen (where the rest of your website's pages are left justified)

Otherwise your design is really nice and clean - great job!

Have you considered adding an image of yourself to the site?

Thanks Tess

Will get to work on correcting those problems.... will be something in my coding causing that I'm thinking.

I have considered popping my photo on there but I'm not too sure quite where.. any suggestions?

Hmmm, well you don't really have an 'about us' page, which is where I'd first think to put it. But I think it would be a really nice addition to your blog, or perhaps on the home page with a short little bio about you (although if you're shy at all I understand that the front page may not be an appealing place to start

)

Thank you so much for your help Tess!

I've now 'fixed' my site (albiet only in ie6 so how ie7 will render is anyones guess - will test that next). I've got a photograph on my blog and will seriously think about adding an about us page onto my main site in the next few days.

You're so welcome - the cross browser issues can really be a pain!

I love your web site!! It looks amazing. The blue text on white background is professional and easy to read, and I enjoyed the section where you asked a few questions to help potential clients realize exactly how your services can benefit them. Good idea!

After skimming your home page, I did notice a few typos that I thought I'd pass along. In the paragraph that begins with "Would you like to dispense...," "todays" should be possessive: "today's." Also on that page: according to dictionary.com (my constant resource for spelling questions), "Berevement" should be spelled "Bereavement."

I hope you don't mind my passing these along; sometimes it takes an extra set of eyes to catch the little things.

Tamm7 You are a star!!!!

Thank you so much for your comments and spell checking abilities. I've deliberately tried to make the site clean and professional - looks like I might have succeeded lol.
