Hi everyone,

I am so excited as I am finally posting to ask for your most brutal responses regarding my website. Please share the good, the bad and the ugly, I will take no offense, promise. I look forward to your comments and thank you for taking the time to look over it!

I like to overall look but I has some trouble reading the white on black after a while. Of course I prefer more white space so it may just be a personal preferrence. Maybe if you increased the font that would help a bit. Definite increase needed on the contact page (address & phone nos.)

Like your header.

Hi Rikki,

I know you have been working on your site for some time. I must tell you I really like your website header! I also liked how creative you were with titling your retainer packages and rates.

With all that being said, I do agree with Lee and find the white text on black background a bit hard to read. Perhaps either make the font a bit larger or invert the colors only where text appears -- so white background, black text.

Overall, I think you did a great job.

I love the look of your new website! It looks fantastic - great job. I will have to agree with both Lee and Darlene that the font either needs to be enlarged or changed to a white background with black text. I am not normally blind but found I had to get right up to my monitor to see your content - liked your package titles by the way! Just a side note...don't forget to optimize your site with title tags, page tags etc as the google bots will love them.

I have similar comments to everyone else. The font is way to small in so many places its hard to read after a while. Also label your pictures or add the names as headers in your About Us page. It might also be nice to know their position in the group or speciality, though not completely necessary.

Other than that the site looks awesome. Good Job!

I love your website as a whole, the header, the names for your packages (love those! ;o) )

however, I must agree with the others, I started to read the text but gave up because it felt like there was too much, it might be the white text? not sure but it is difficult to read....

but as I said love it otherwise! well done x

Really like the look of the site, the header is like a breath of fresh air. The names for you packages - great.

Have you though of linking your services on the home page to the services page so if someone in interested in, say, event planing, they can go there directly? Just a thought.

You should also have your contact details on your home page even if it just on you footer. That way again people can get to you quickly instead of having to go to your contact us page.

The site is clean and navigable, but just look at the font size again.

Your home, contact and about us pages have the same name, for SEO ranking they should be named differently.

But as a personal preference, I do not like black backgrounds for websites, it makes hard work just to read it.

Great start, good luck with your business.

I really appreciate all the wonderful comments! I am looking into how we can change the font size, color, background etc so reading is easier and still portrays the feel we are looking for. I will keep you all posted and most likely ask for comments once I get the details worked out. Thank you so much!
