Hi Everybody,

I revised my website this weekend and would love to hear feedback...

http://nikassistcom.web.officelive.com/default.aspx


I'm still working on the domain name etc...tried to make my blog fit more nicely...I'll be working on my Twitter page this week as well.

I can't wait to hear all thoughts!!

Morning Nikia,

Nice colors - easy on the eyes. Having the text area white is a good thing. When I went to check something I realized the font color was purple. I didn't find it distracting, but wonder if black text would stand out more. Here are some more comments by page for you to consider or toss:

Home - Consider beginning with Do you need help with your online presence? It pulls the viewer in and puts the focus on them. Ask a few more questions & then briefly explain how NikAssist can help.

consumers requies an apostrophe after the s
"wish you had mor" you need an e

About - although the button at the top of the page is interesting, it does not fit with the other graphic elements on the site
"the goal if" - "of" The mission statement is the first line. The next line is marketing & doesn't seem to belong.
"NikAssist.com would like to help you" consider a positive statement such as "NikAssist can help you" or "NikAssist has the experience to help you.." Consider using just the business name without the ".com" extension throughout the site. This paragraph really belongs on the services page.

The large button in the middle of the page doesn't seem to belong - it almost makes it seem as if the page ends there.

I'm running out of room so will continue this later or try to email you directly. 'Hope this is useful. Linda

Thanks Linda! I put to use some of your tips...I was second guessing the Home page also...just not sure how to grab in the reader...so I'll be thinking on that one as well.

Any other tips...please let me know

Great Job NikAsst!
I know how exciting yet time consuming creating a website can be, and I think you did very well.

I love you color choices for the site.. When I clicked on the "home page" the search option button at the top left hand area seemed a little out of a place, I think it takes away from the presentation of your header and opening page..

While I am a big fan of centering (and Tess is going to get me now)she did give a wonderful suggestion that centering your text can make it a more difficult read, readers would have to fixate their eyes to read the centering a little more in-depth than when making it more block stlye formatting.. Again I love centering, but it was a helpful tip Tess here gave me which I found very beneficial.

I appreicate how clean your site looks, the spacing is on point, easy flow for reading (nice font sizes)

Your niche to target social marketing as a VA is awesome, you have tapped into a prospering field, You are off to an awesome start! Your "services page" is really great, I am a little "iffy" on the beginning wording under "PowerPoint Presentations" data area..the last few sentences rock, I love them..just something about how that paragraph starts off..(hmmm can't quite put my finger on it.)

Again great work, I didnt see any major issues with spelling and grammar (although I am working on perfecting those areas within my self-lol) but again I think your site looks good!
ps...I personally like the "start" button at the end of the page.

Great Job

Thanks so much Capricia! I will admit..I have a serious centering problem I just love to do it, makes me feel like I am saying LOOK RIGHT HERE...LOL...I may not be able to give it up completely, but I think I can manage to give it up on at least some of my pages...LOL!

I love my little start button too! I wish it was another color, but it's cool just how it is for now! I am so excited about my niche as well, I just want to get my first client...I feel like with one will come many!!

Thanks again for looking and for all your great advice!

Hi NikAssist,
I clicked on your link using Safari on a Mac and this is the message I got:

"To use Microsoft Office Live, your computer must meet one of the following requirements:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 7, or 8 running on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista. You can download Internet Explorer from the Internet Explorer page.
Mozilla Firefox running on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, or Mac OS X 10.2.x and later. You can download Firefox from the Firefox download page."

I have viewed many other websites created through Microsoft Office Live so I don't know why it won't let me open it. You should look into that. I would love to see it since everyone else seems to really like your site.

Thanks Wendy...I'll check into it, maybe it's a box I've checked or something.

Hopefully I can get it resolved soon because I LOVE Macs and hope to be working on one very soon, so I need it to be working properly for us...did you try it using Firefox? I've found sometimes that works on sites when I get that message on my Mac at work.

Let me know if that helps and I'll see what I can do on my end!

Thank you again!!

Nikia

Really liked the color choice, font type and size. Small "bites" of information makes scanning the page for specific information easy. Graph on contact page looks out of place - need another color?

Looks good! Nice and simple. Everything is very easy to find. I like it!

I think it looks great. I like the color choices but most of all the logo - very sharp.
Keep up the good work!
