Hey Everyone,

Menu on the left is too small.

I like the colors and it's pretty direct.

That font is generally considered amateurish (although I love it).

Your font changes halfway down the page on the contact us section.

The contact form looks like it got five times the effort any of the other pages did.

I can't read the logo up at the top left and it looks like a CD cover. I'm sure the text says something, but between the size and font it's remarkably unclear.

Is this more to point existing clients to or is it to hopefully get some internet leads?

You probably want to consider getting on wordpress and figuring that out. I have some agents I've been hooking up with wordpress sites and SEO really cheap. It looks like you're doing this mostly yourself and I think you'd love wordpress if you get it up and running. Most website hosts have a free wordpress installer.

where is the call to action?

 

[mmaedelins]

Great feedback! Thanks guys I obviously still have some work to do on it but I wanted to get it up and running. I'm sure I'll continue working on it over time as well. I'll make some updates and then repost for additional feedback. Thanks again!

An article on fonts for websites

I also agree with the call to action suggestion

 

[mmaedelins]

Thanks again for the helpful suggestions! I went through and corrected most of the issues listed here although, for some reason, I was unable to enlarge the size of the page links on the left even though I agree they are way too small. If you are so kind, please take a look at my updated site and let me know if there are still areas that need improving upon. Thanks in advance!

Oh, and BTW, thanks for the article about fonts...it helped alot!

New Jersey's Business Insurance Lady - WELCOME!

On a slightly related note, is there a reason you don't have a [email protected] e-mail address? That can go a long way too.

I just set it up but I still have the email address my boss gave me on everything and haven't had a chance to change it up yet. I'm trying to figure out how to get all emails that go to the new email address to automatically come to my current email address since all the carriers have the old one. Any idea how to do that?

Absolutely. Gmail is free and will let you send and receive e-mails from up to at least four different accounts (I think it's actually five). It's a little tricky to setup, especially depending on who you're using as a web host, but it's the way to go in my opinion.
