I have no affiliation with this site, but I am very curious.

What do you think of the site design? How does it make you feel?

  Nice, uncluttered, relaxed. Plenty of content. I would like to see some photos, it gets a bit boring if you click several links.
  
  Thanks

It make me feel relaxed and gives me the thought of eco-friendly and going green. It makes me feel of herbal treatments or getting a massage. The picture to the right is much to blurry though and I dislike the texture on the green banner across the page.

  Thanks for the replies. I should have added that I did not design the site.
  
  I just thought the minimalist look was very appealing for the target market.
  
  I think too many times, designers try to put everything on the front page and end up making a site look either cluttered or not designed with the customer (site visitor) in mind.
  
  Sometimes less is more.

I have to agree with the rest of the replies. I love the balance of the site. The color palette is very calming and relaxes your mind. If I may make some suggestions that I would consider?

In the footer, you have your phone number but don't actually write out "phone". I think you could enhance the footer by adding an email address and clarifying the phone number.

Check your site for grammar and spelling. I found a few instances where they were off. These are just simple, small errors but they caught my eye. For instance, in the Swedish Massage: "lotion ,or oil in" the comma is not set correctly. In the Contact tab where is says "Your Higher Self has partnered with Muscle Release Therapies this means" you forgot to add a period and start a new sentence after "Therapies".

Other than that, I really like the layout and the details. Good job!

  I really like the site. It could use some calls to action, and it would be nice if the focus picture changed depending on the page.
  
  If you're looking to get into that niche, you could do a lot worse than using some of their design ideas. Less is definitely more!
  
  Thanks

  It's a nice minimalist style. The only thing I would point out is that it could use padding just about everywhere. For example, the navigation is very close to the top edge of the box, while the sides are pretty well padded. The content is just slightly too close to the nav menu. The text in the footer is pushed right up against the top border.
  
  Otherwise, the feel of the site was acheived.
  
  Just like less is more, negative space can be a huge positive.
  
  Thanks

it actually makes me feel like I have a kink in my back .. like I want to put my left shoulder in the air cause the gravity of the page is so off kilter... its missing something to ground it on the left side I think. Maybe the text in the menu slightly bolder/darker.

Other than that .. i like the color scheme, and the simpleness

The design depicts that 'Simplicity itself is a style'.

Very relaxing. Although the images can be a bit sharper. I also agree that i needs to be balanced because the right part is so lacking of something.

Hi there!

When I evaluate websites, I must first know what the website's intention is.

Do you want to get people to sign up with their email for something?
Are you selling a product or a membership and want people to buy something?
Do you want people to click a certain button or do something?
Do you want people to be informed or engaged (not necessarily buying or doing anything)?

Then, I look at the webpage and ask the 3 most important questions that must be answered straight away or I know the audience will lose interest and click off quickly:

Where Am I?
What Can I Do Here?
Why Would I Want To? (or, What Will I Get Out of Being Here and Doing That?)

I look at this site and get:

I'm at a place called Your Higher Self but am not sure what that means. Is this a spa? A private service? A place to go or someone who does something?

What do I do here? Sign up? Call you? Read other pages on your site? Relax and breathe deeply? I am pulled in no immediate direction or feel reason to click anything in particular.

What's in this for me? Why would I go anywhere further in this site, or why would I call you? Why are you different from other services like this in your area?

I get a feeling of (looking at design alone, not the words and content) either a home interior design brand, a spa website, a spa products store, a service being offered, a retreat invitation or information about home spas...

It's feminine and clean. It makes me feel calm because of the nice spacing and the balance of the visual elements.

Hope this helps!
- Thanks

I think it's a good idea to add an eyecatching logo, also there's lots of links
on the site which make me feel like clicking 'x' instead of reading. Try to make
the navigation easier.

The site itself with the colors and the pictures give me a relaxing feeling, it's content
is clean and easy to go through.

Keep up the good work!
