    Not to be mean but I stopped reading after the first paragraph. Someone who is launching a small business is likely to have a college degree and the writing is a put-off for someone with such an education.

    completely agree with wolfmmiii, if you cant do it yourself then hire a writer. Also lose the bad resolution image at the top before anyone would even get to any text that makes the site look unprofessional and would make people click off straight away.

    Hi ollybode

    Firstly congratulations on making a start with your site. Half the battle is getting started.

    In regards to your site - I am going to try and be constructive as I can, so I hope you don't take this the wrong way.

    Firstly I noticed you are using one of the default WordPress themes which looks a bit plain. There are many free WP themes available that are far more attractive than that one. Having said that if you know a little html and CSS you can try sprucing that one up a bit more.

    Next - I would get rid of the statcounter that is showing top left of the screen. In my opinion it looks a little unprofessional. Why not try using Google Analytics on your site for stats. Alternatively there is a great WP plugin I use called "Statpress".

    Lastly - you might want to get rid of the blogroll in your sidebar.

    As mentioned above congratulations on getting started - keep adding great content to your site and it will be doing good in no time.

      Not only that is has the default Wordpress theme, but it has HTML and CSS issues. I guess you have a bounce rate of about 80% - 90%. That is pretty bad!

    Hey man - I exited your site after the pop-ups appeared. I find these very annoying (as I imagine others do) as it interferes with the visitors interaction with your page.

    If I click on your site I want to read about YOU and your services and those pop-ups are a big distraction from that. Hope that helps

    Good for you for starting a blog...ok here we go!

    I found the banner is way too large. It overpowers the page. The font size is too small I my want to also change the font type.

    In one of your headers "Patient" is misspelled it should be "Patience"
    Reading it just seemed a bit rocky, it didn't sound smooth or as if you are talking to some this criticism.
