Default Re: What do you think? Please critique my website
The first thing that popped out at me was your page title, especially on your main index page. It's just "HOME" -- and you really want to update with your business name and key words. That title is also what people see when they bookmark your page so you want it to be informative, but brief.

And then there's always the thing I always point out to people. If you're going to use "we and us" in your site copy, then there really should be more than one person. It's not a bad thing to say, "About Debrah" or "About ABVA" or something similar. What you want to do is not give an impression that you're larger that you really are.

On your About Us page, you mention your name and that you have a husband... but you don't mention his name. You just refer to him as a general contractor. Now, if you really mean "US" that's great, but you should then have names and bios for both of you.

There are also some odd consistency things happening, too. In some places you're "DCBreen" and "Debrah C. Breen" and at other places you use your business name. This really should be consistent across the website.

And I know this is getting really nitpicky... but you might want to have a copywriter or editor go over your text.

ONe example:
Clients who retain our services on a weekly or monthly basis will be invoiced on the first of the month and 15th of the month for the upcoming month.
There's nothing really wrong with that, except for minor consistency with "first" and "15th" when you refer to the ordinals. It should be "1st and 15th" -- which is easier to read on a screen and a better visual connection to a calendar, or "first and fifteenth" - which is harder to read, but technically the most correct. If you can superscript them, even better.

Hello Deb,

I am also using Microsoft Office Live. I like the program, but it does not do well in SEO (at least in my experience). I liked your website and the colors. I would make the Service page more customer friendly and put more space there. Probably arrange it as a list or a table. Like it is right now, you can not see easily the details.
I hope this helps.
Good luck with your business.
Wendy

Hello,
Wow! thank you! All the feedback is proof positive why this forum is one of the best!

I really appreciate the feedback - I've got a lot of work to do!

Keep the reviews coming, I can take it. In the near future I will have a chance to make those upgrades, but not today. Another point I'm surprised no one criticized was the l-o-n-g domain name. I'm thinking I should abbreviate it to allbusinessva.com.

Warm regards,
Debrah

Your website looks very clean and professional. I love your color choice and the layout is very easy to follow. The domain name is a bit long so I was glad that I was able to just click on the link to get to it There are a few minor spelling errors. Overall, everything was easy to follow and it looks great!
