Hi Mike,
 
I looked at your website and have a few things that might help you out. It is clear that your website needs refinement and a few changes but overall it is a good start. I like the fact that it is very personal and that the navigation bar includes things like "Coach Mike Recommends".
 
While the website has an easy to remember URL, the focus of the home page is not clear. You must use the most visually appealing areas of the site to clearly state your message. If someone were to read the content they would clearly understand what you are offering, but people will decide to read content only after they are sure it will offer what they are looking for. I feel that the headlines and focal points in the first "impression" of the site are vague and can be improved.
 
For example....you repeat the name of the website and make that very prominent. I understand that it is catchy...but it does not help the user understand the true focus of the site. I see many sites make this same mistake. Also, the main tagline "Supporting clients achieve balance in their lives and improve their bottom lines" just does not sound right. Maybe you can change the first word to Helping clients achie.......
 
Try making it clear that you are a Quickbooks expert ( im jealous by the way), that should be clear without having to read any content or scrolling down the page. I would move the Quickbooks logo higher on the page. You also have several grammatical errors that can be easily fixed.
 
It`s a great start and I wish you the best of luck!
 
P.S. You should make it easier for us to review your site by adding a link to it in your post. You can do this by highlighting the website address and clicking on the little chain looking thing on the tool bar...I will do it for you to help the others give their feedback
 
 
GO GET IT!!!!!

My 2 minute review:
  • site looks dated, and when I see a copyright of 2002, I think - update much? At least update the copyright to read 2002-2008 (don`t just put 2008, copyright doesn`t slide like that)
  • code is all table based, circa 2002 (ha ha) - makes search engines work really hard to find content, and harder to update, esp with nested tables defining the layout.
  • title tags - not very content-descriptive. meta description - blank! you need those 2 items to work together to describe the page, esp on search engine results pages.
  • hablo espanol - I kept trying to click on it (the arrow hints that it `should` be clicked)
  • coach suggests - wonky amazon widget right in the middle of the page. Great idea, bad execution
  • Content itself (every page): reads nicely, but needs more visual (and structural) hierarchy to break up the page (h1, h2 tags) - give visitor an easy way to eyeball the content and get the major sections at a glance.
Time: 2 minutes.

If you want to step up to a great website, let me know...

Thanks Googleguy and MTCreations,

I took your comments to heart. Thanks.  I have incorporated quite a few of your comments into the site and am working on doing more.  I want to also do a FAQ page as well as a page for QuickBook add on software.

Thanks again.

Well I have done some more modifications to the site or rather my web person has.  I tried to incorporate your suggestions.  Take a look.
