I've had my site up for a few weeks but I just revamped the template. Take a look and let me know what you think. Constructive criticism welcome. http://lucentadminsolutions.com/

Hi Margretta. Coincidentally, just after posting this thread, my host server went down. It was corrected and my site is now back up.

Of course! (Ahh, the irony of technology...

Okay, here goes:

Home - this page seems too long to me. Can you divide it up into 3 pages? My impression is that the more you have to scroll on a page, especially a home page, the faster you lose your audience.

Services - I would make the graphics smaller -- they really take over the page. The centered text next to each graphic also looks weird to me. It would be a lot cleaner to left justify and change your image css info include a right margin.

About - did you mean to have all that extra white space above the heading? I like the testimonials on this page, but they don't seem to flow with your text. Perhaps they should all go together at the bottom?
Also on this page, following recommendations in other threads here on VAF, you might consider changing "resume available upon request" to "samples" or "portfolio" -- giving your resume makes you seem more like a prospective employee than your own business.

Facebook ad - is there anyway you can resize it so that it doesn't have its own scroll bar?

My two cents!

Thanks for the tips, Margretta. I will work on these issues. The only thing I can do about the FB like box is to omit it and just include a link to my FB page. But doing that makes the reader have to click on the link and then go to the page to "like" it. It's more steps and may result in less "likes". There is no way that I've found to resize the box-- but I am not a programmer, so that hinders me a bit.

Can you tell me what browser you are using? I just remembered that I haven't checked my web site in all the browsers and I did not see a lot of white space above the heading in my browser on the About page.

Thanks again!

ETA: I just figured out what was wrong with the "white space" issue and corrected it. I also shortened the height of the header graphic, decreased the font size of the headers, and decreased the size of pic on the Home page as well as the graphics on the Services page. I also left justified the text on the Services page, and tweaked the About page a bit. I haven't figured out how to add/increase right margin for graphics on that page, however. They are nested within a table, so I may or may not figure that one out. But I hope the changes I have made have improved the site.

Nice, bright site. However, I found the scolling "light bars" through the header disruptive but that may just be me. The icons along side the list of services is almost overpowering along with the random placement of white spacing. I would either use just the icons without the headings or the headings without the icons but not both. I actually like the icons best, but I don't care for the redundancy.

I looking at your site using a Gateway netbook with Firefox, running Win7.
