Interesting concept. Are there other people/companies doing this? Not sure I`ve ever heard of it. Also, can the "R US" part create any legal issues from that other place?

I understand the idea of keeping things "soft" looking, but in doing so it makes some of the text less than ideal to read, and almost makes the overall site very passive, but in general I like the overall look of it.

The main page, I think could be clarified .... first, you almost make it sound like your service will eliminate all negative emotions during pregnancy, whatever they may be, and second, you just mention services but not in any actual context ..... I assume by reading this that you provide assistants for errands, household work, odds and ends, etc., but I`m just guessing .... even if it`s just a small list, I would suggest adding a couple of the services you provide right up front ... don`t make your visitor guess what you offer them when they first arrive, give them something informative about what you do and why it is going to help them.

I also have no idea what area you do this in until I look at your contact page .... this could be stated up front somewhere so that visitors know if your service is even available to them.

Put unique page titles and meta descriptions on your pages .... I also don`t see link titles, image alt tags, or h1/h2 tags for SEO purposes .... I would add these if possible.

Your site is pretty good.
You need something on the home page to grab the viewer, like a subhead.  Your About Us page tells me more than the home page does.

Something as simple as: "pregnancy simplified".

LOL! I commented on the other topic before encountering this one, and pretty much replicated what Webline has to say. :-)

Hey, everyone! My company has a new product, and could use your input. What do you think of these?

Do they sound appealing? Any marketing advice for my company?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Michael :-)
I took a look at the sales page, and I`m guessing your target market is corporate management?

I`ve seen lots of these kinds of courses, whether in books or electronic. They`re usually pretty helpful, but it`s often the cost that matters. I see that you`re selling to the unemployed as well as entry-level workers looking for promotion. But do they have that kind of money?

The site runs a little bit slow, but not all that bad. If you get a chance, you might bring it up with your site developer to see if they might be able to tweak it for extra speed.

But I think it might help if you were to offer a "look inside" kind of thing, sort of like Amazon and other book sites. Could you extract a compelling 5-minute segment from each subject session and put it up on the site? People would get a chance to experience the "look and feel" of the topics and perhaps it would help close the sale?

Not only that, but if you have these 5-minute clips, it would help you in putting them up on YouTube and so forth. That might build your viral marketing.

did you post the same thing twice?
