I made a few changes that you all and others have mentioned. I cannot change the website from a flash website to an html site, because flash is all Sitecube offers at this time. I welcome again any feedback and constructive criticism. Visit www.morphcoaching.com

Thank you!

hello,  I like your site.  clean, professional looking. The pictures load fast, nice.  I`m not crazy about the dark colors and the yellow font is a little hard to read, but the overall feel of the site is good.

What`s up Coach,

You have some great content on your web site but I think with the current layout, people may be missing out on a lot.

Get rid of the flash altogether and get some good ole fashioned text on those pages. Flash doesn`t work well for what you`re doing and I don`t think your prospects would be impressed by it.

The colors are too dark for the type of business you`re in and the text is hard to read. White background and black text trumps all the time.

Heck...I may be signing up for your services myself come the first of the year, I`ve already bookmarked the site.

Here is an example of how a different layout could benefit you:

Overall, you have a great service and great content.

yup do away with flash. I can`t see a thing because I browse the net with an Fx browser with no plug-ins for safety reasons. Only after I`ve gotten to `know` a site or the people behind the site I`ll venture in with a fully enabled browser.

Got to agree with Eli and Cartess on all their points. They covered it.

Get rid of the flash. You`re probably wondering why everyone is telling you to do this. Here are a few  http://news.bn.gs/article.php?story=20060404171032808&qu ery=flash

Whoah! First Text, then the download of services. I stopped at first doables to post this. Larger fonts. I`ll check back on how to contact you. You have a great service. Present it well and I`ll buy. I really need a LifeCoach. Invite me in with bigger and first response fonts telling where to click for fantastic results. Join the design comments posted as Flash second to direct oppurtunity.  Excellent representation of services. And I`ll be back real soon.

The main page didn`t work very well in Firefox. I saw no "enter" button, and when I hovered to the left, heard some squeaks, but saw only a few letters of what I assume are a menu to proceed. I tested in IE and same thing. I can`t see your menu items hiding behind the grape leaves (or whatever). I`m on a 19" LCD panel, set to 1280x1024 resolution, so that may be a problem. You`ll want a better site validator.

There`s no content, so no search engines are picking up on the site excepting for later pages, deeper into the site. But that home page is pretty important when it comes to the Search Engine Marketing (SEM).

Cartess has some superb ideas for direct marketing, which would likely do you in good stead, and he sounds as if he`s aware of varying budgets too, so I`d recommend a follow up there.

I also think the idea about adjusting the site so someone can enter their ZIP code and get your proximity is good. In fact, why not partner with other life coaches and see if there`s a main "Find a Life Coach" site where you could list yourself? If not, invent one. :-D

I`d also suggest a content-strong site, where you write articles about how you do your thing, solve problems, or otherwise use your skills to actually help people do something. A good content manager would help on that score, with it being able to archive articles on a regular basis, and also retrieve them by topic title.

Thank you all for the awesome advice. Due to many saying that the font was hard to see and the design was too dark; I did change to a different design, so it is just a white background with black text. However, I am kind of stuck with a flash website for now, because that is all Sitecube offers. If you can look at the website again and let me know if it presents better, I would appreciate that. Thanx again everyone for the feedback and constructive criticism. It is very much appreciated.
