Thank you. I read as much as I can on the internet about SEO and other things that I end up getting all sorts of information. I appreciate you letting me know this.

I added something to my first page and would like to know what you think.
I`m also about thinking of, taking Alan`s advice about it being "too wordy" and moving my "Services Offered" onto my About Me page under the information about "My Business", leaving just the first two paragraphs, and maybe altering them some. I also thought about maybe making those two pages ... One would be "About Crescent Moon" and the other would be "About Me".
 
I`ve also found some tips about adding borders, etc., and will explore into that in order to showcase my design abilities, and suggested by Mike.
 
Thank you for your time and input. It is extremely helpful to me, and allows me to think "outside the box".

Much improved.

What`s with the "copy protected" watermark on the images?  Are you calling your visitors thieves before you get to even know them?  (Also, I had no difficulty copying the images).

I would just do an image of a typical marked-up manuscript page for the "before " image.  Why?  Because all it looks like you did is to enlarge the image for the cover and add some titles.  Any high-school kid with Photoshop could do that.

Did you open each of the images?  They are clickable.

I did, but there`s nothing on the page that indicates that I should.

When I did open them, I still didn`t see much work on your part.  A little reformatting and resizing of the cover image is all that was apparent.  That it`s not in English says one of two things - that you are multi-lingual, or this is the only manuscript that you have finished.

I am not an author and maybe I don`t understand the business, but I would expect the unfinished manuscript to have some editing notes penciled in or a rough sketch of a cover idea.  (Or are authors generally not able or willing to put in the finishing touches?).  Could this imagery be enhanced with a photo of the original manuscript in the form of a pile of pages and the finished product photo in the form of a published book?

I have several projects I will be posting. They`re in Word format. I chose this one to add it to the front page as was suggested from another forum. I grabbed a few pages of it, unformatted as was submitted to me by e-mail, and saved it as a PDF. I did the same on the finished document. That`s why this is the only one right now.
 
From my Publication page, you will see that  I have done numerous works. I am in the process of getting the others ready to put on the site. I`m going to explore different processes, maybe in a slide show or as a Flash. That will require me to save each page as a JPEG, which I will do, but it`s going to take some time.
 
My first goal was to get my website up, information about my services, testimonials and links to the publications. The samples will be coming soon.
 
I have seen sites where the pages are in a pile as an image, etc., so I am exploring those avenues and the process of doing it. It`s just going to take time.
 
I do thank you, Steve, for your advice though as you have been extremely helpful here, and in my other posts.
