Hi Lorna

I've moved you over to the website review section, as you've asked for feedback.

First impressions, very purple colours seem a little dark for my taste, but presentation is personal so get a wide range of feedback.

Content is short and sweet and to the point but no mention or ideas of any pricing.

Maybe in the future, if things are going ok, have a think about moving to something like wordpress. It wouldn't cost much and their are plenty of decent templates about, or someone could quickly rustle one up for you.

Virtually Mary's site is a nice example, like yours short and to the point.

Hope that helps

As sjr4x4 has pointed out... No pricing is mentioned.

Otherwise, good job!

This is a complete guess and I'm not judging you I'm purely curious.

Is this a Vista print site? I was getting stationary today and noticed the offered me a site.

I found the site a bit difficult to read because the colours were so dark - could you experiment a bit with lighter shades?

Liked your rather saucy fairy image -so will male customers I think!

I liked your PS with the benefit proposition - save thousands by using us.

You listed what you could do briefly and helpfully.

More indicators of pricing would be helpful. Competitive pricing will gain you customers and you save yourself the hassle of dealing with those who can't or won't pay reasonable rates.

You need at least 3 testimonials, I feel. If it would be difficult to get these extra two testimonials from commercial customers, could you do brief "freebies" for charity employers on the understanding you can then quote their warm words on your site?

The site says to me "I'm going after my local market" - which is fine but you'll probably need another tool (eg email newsletter?) to help you stay in touch with potential customers.

Is search engine optimising easy on this site?

Something's not right with the site, all I saw was the VistaPrint logo and blurb.

Oh dear Lorna, have you gone bump since you asked for feedback in August?

Or are you in the process of migrating to a new site?
