Please be gentle---newbie at work.

Second version, first was up only 3 days before I decided that I did not like 600 x 800. Please critique, encourage, shred, applaud, etc.

Bear in mind that I had no clue what to do one week ago.

Thanks (or ouch!) in advance for the feedback...

Re: Please be gentle---newbie at work.

I think you have done a wonderful job and it is a testimony to how professional a site you can have with BlueVoda without any prior experience! My only negative...your logo. I'm not sure why I don't care for it, as it is similiar to mine! lol I don't know if it is the size, colors, font...ummmm, can't quite put my finger on it, but just doesn't seem to fit the rest of the site. Have you seen THIS link before. May give you some more options. Other than that, you have done a great job!

I have my own logo, however it cannot be made completely transparent for some odd reason. I used that font as it is the same as is in my trademarked logo. See the logo below. The white background behind the house refuses to go away.

Well done, very professional.

A suggestion: consider changing the color of the scroll bars to the default neutral, they are framing your site and appear to take away from it.

For your logo, if you need to make it transparent, look at Paint.net

Good work.

Also for your logo, maybe Chris with Collectors-Info will drop in. In my opinion he is the Image Man around here. But yes, the link Bill gave you above should do the trick and it's a free program!

Website looks excellent, good job. Also the domain name strikes me as being very clever. Good luck...

Hi, you are doing a real good job. Quick loading pages & easy to navigate. The only thing that stands out for me on the looks side is the BV logo banner might look better blended in with the template colours or the buttons?
The page template has also been stretched a bit to much & has created some distortion in the image. (But only slight).
On the SE side of your pages, you have to may key words. (I believe about 20 should be max) Also any of the key words should also be within the text of the page that they relate to. Also it’s nice to have Peace of Mind Home Inspection Service as a key word, but would some one type this in as a search? Maybe just “home inspection service” or “building inspection”. This may apply to the page title as well.
As an example, your “about the inspection” page could have better words within the page & then include these in the key words area.
Building inspection.
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

Electrical inspection.
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

Pluming inspection.
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

Termite inspection.
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

It will give something for the SE’s to find, Especially if you put <h1> tags around the page header that might be called “About the building inspection” Then <h2> tags around the heading of each topic.


Good luck.

I think you have done a great job, easy to navigate around your site, however i felt the FAQ page was a bit hard on the eyes, just my 2 cents worth for all it is worth.

Re: Please be gentle---newbie at work.

I second the points raised by Chris above (about composing your navigation and logical construct around Key phrases and rankable entries).
They should be part of your overall composition, although need not be included in global navigation (your Menu), but that is a choice for you to ponder.
> In the matter of Menu buttons, I would suggest changing "About The Inspection" to a simple "About Inspections" or even more of a 'Heading' like "Inspections" ---- not only to fit, but possibly preface the above mentioned Content strategy.

I would also move past the rigidity of keeping the same font in the Menu nav buttons (there really is no complimentation or continuity issue here) and move to a more compact and legible Tahoma or simply Arial.....

Otherwise, you've done a grand job! Great start (now comes all the endless tweaks to keep you up at night). LOL

Re: Please be gentle---newbie at work.

Alright! Thanks for the tips...will do as suggested. I am writing the spanish pages right now.

Re: Please be gentle---newbie at work.

Nicely done. The sliders are a bit too bright and distracting the reader reading your message. An inconspicous color will allow the reader to focus
on what you are trying to sell.
