Jackie,

Love the colors (kinda the color scheme I am going for in my site....but different layout...

On the first page you have:
Winslow Girl Virtual Assistant, "Winslow Girl, specializes in small business support service in the form of "Virtual" Adminstrative Support.
See where you open the quote but don't close it out? Also, administrative is spelled wrong.

And what are you doing charging $20 per hour??? Girl, you're worth more than that! I'd be charging $25 at the rock bottom lowest price!

Other than that, i like it!

Aha! I was waiting for your site to show up here
I know how frustrating it must have been to lose the whole site - egads! What happened??

Anyway, thank goodness you were quick and got it back up to speed again - I think it looks nice actually and I *love* the quote from Trump. I know he bugs people but I quite like him...anyway, he's brilliant at business!

Hamid's already asking 'what's the title of the home page?' and the answer? 'Home' Not exactly search engine friendly, but he'll get back to you shortly with his list of to-dos

OK, so - my first question is: what is the little abstract box image in your header?
My second thing is - you are so sweet to link the forums so prominently on your site - thank you!

On your home page, you'll want to quickly edit your text a bit, there is a stray quotation mark in the first line.

On your about us page just check that the spacing between headings and paragraphs is consistent all the way down.

Also, your call to action at the bottom of that page, where you say to call or email says 'or email me' twice.

On your services page, just check headings and space between the lists below are the same throughout - some are a bit closer together than others.

On your testimonials page, maybe make the quotes italicized and make the names of your clients bold, and make sure each has a dash (Maya's Mom is missing the dash)

If you have anything specific regarding managing that template just let me know and I'll be happy to help! So far so good Jackie, way to hang in there after disaster

Sorry to add to the laundry list On the front page, did you mean 'data entry' as opposed to 'date entry'?

thanks everyone.. all the tips are soo needed.. will get working on changes ASAP... You know Jacky, I have struggles with my pay for years.. years I say.. what to charge.. I am the worst at under charging. always have been.. When I had to redo my sight, I actually put in 30.. looked at it.. and said.. hmmm.... now my clients love me so I know the jump in pay would surprise them but in the end they would stay with me.. But its actually doing it...Ladies, you have found my fatal flaw.. Tess is well aware as we've talked many times about this.. My hubby has been telling me repeatedly I am undercharging by far... sigh... Will I ever learn??

Ok, so I've been thinking about revamping my wording.. Tess, you did it again.. Got me thinking.. I think I should bill myself for the hours I think on the marketing of the site Well, guess I need to work on changes...but first, will take a long bubble bath, have a cup of tea and get really relaxed..hahaha


Thanks ladies for your help...And this is why we love this forum..

Jackie I must tell you, looks great. But even better, last night I was on Metacrawler and did a search for "virtual secretary", your site was third from the top. I'm sure you knew that but I think that is great and wanted to let everyone else know.

Wow! That's pretty incredible Way to go Jackie!!
Now, if you fix your page titles you'll be able to hold onto that and maybe even move up to number one (woohoo! )

You're doing great Jackie! I think in your case you'll want to capitalize on your 'virtual secretary' standing and update your page titles accordingly...I saw your other post about the error that you got when you tried to update your titles and will take a look and let you know where the issue is.
