Medical records is a great field, especially since the use of EMRs has exploded. It's a field that I thought seriously about pursuing.

It really is encouraging to hear that this is a business that allows you to support yourself.
I have just launched my VA/VBM business with a goal to supplement my husband's income. I am getting involved in our community, establishing the business name and looking forward to getting my own clients. Currently, I am sub-contracting but it's not nearly enough. Also, I am still tweaking my website as it doesn't feel quite "it" yet... Any feedback is greatly appreciated:-)
So, knowing that "it is possible" certainly gives me an additional motivation and hope for a brighter (hopefully nearby) future.

Maybe you could use a little more color? Also, I think you should group all your services under one category called Services instead of having four different ones.

I would also make your top point a bit bolder and bigger so then can stand out.

Thank you ladies for your advice. While I am planning to stick with the color scheme, I am making some changes to the home page, service pages as well as adding some more, including a blog. Luckily, a website is a "living organism" as someone once told me, that can be updated and changed:-)

My business supports my family; my husband has recently quit his corporate job and is now working with me!
