Hello everyone, this is my first day here and I was wondering if I could get a site review please? Please don`t hold back, I can take it if something does not look right or needs to be changed.
 
Thank you so very much!

Cindy,
 
How long has the site been up? I ask because it doesn`t seem to be indexed by Google yet.
You should create a good site map and submit it to Google (do the same with yahoo).
 
What is your target market - is it in the Kauffman, TX area or State or Region or worldwide?
Because there are a number of virtual assistant sites, you may need to focus on location or specific services... focus your search engine optimization.
 
I suggest eliminating "Cynthia`s Virtual Solutions" from your web page titles, because it is your domain name and thus not needed in your title. Instead focus in a couple of key words/phrases for each web page.
 
Also, try to use targeting keywords (like specific services) as links rather than generic words like "services".
 
Do not use underlined words unless they are links... it can be confusing to viewers. You should add alt image tags for every image on your site... those tags should include targeted keywords.
 
It seems you use stock images on your site. While this is fine, the ones you use convey a group of employees working for Cynthia`s Virtual Solutions.... yet the about us page only noted two people.

Hi Roland, thank you so much for taking time out to look a the site. It has only been up a couple of weeks. No I have not done SEO as of yet, my business coach is suppose to show me how to do that. I did not design the site, I had it created for me. So some of the language you are referring to is right over my head. I will take your suggestions under advisement.
 
Thanks

I`m not sure why the "Home" button at the top is always green regardless of the page you are viewing.

I think a better meta description, h1/h2 tags, etc., would help for SEO.

The main page has the outer columns pretty much filled up, but there isn`t much on the other pages; makes them look a little bare. Also, you might want to check into having a sitemap, privacy policy, etc.

Hi Cindy :-)
I liked the site, pretty much, although the white text on blue background is hard for me to read. (I thought you said, "When was the last time you pooped in a movie...") then realized, hey...that can`t be right! "Popped!" Ah...makes more sense.

What bothers me mostly is that there`s a lot of content and text, like an informational Web site, where this is a service site. I like that you have tabs for your services, and another for your rates, but they`re not all that clean and easy to read.

Think of a menu, when you go to a nice restaurant. Regardless of the layout and pictures, the specific food item is highlighted either with bolding, a different color, or a large font. Then the price for that item is immediately near by, easily related to that particular item.

Reading the menu, you instantly know the name of the item, and how much it costs. Then below the heading, you can read a bit of description. Along the sides are enticing images of various meals, and some of the a-la-carte items, or maybe non-regular items like desserts or breakfasts.

Personally, I think a service oriented Web site ought to have that similar ease of operation, navigation, and visibility. So, following that assumption, you likely could cut back on some of your content, make it more direct, and use headings and colors to better highlight what it is you`re offering. My opinion, of course, but all in all it`s a nice site.

Oh, and I see the problem too with the Home tab always green, and whatever tab I`m actually using not changing colors. That`s a problem, as it confuses me regarding which page I`m actually viewing.
