Hi all,
Could u take a look at my website please.  Obviously I hope you like it but don't mind constructive criticism.  Do you think they work in bringing in more business.
All the best
Marigold. ;)

Hi there Marigold.

i think the idea is there i would just tweak it slightly.

where you have Dusters at the top, you have actully typed that in, i would create a logo or type face then import it as an image.

i like the pic of the flower but i'd lose it where you have used it before each heading, it looks a bit much.

i would also have all the type rendered on the left of the page as it will make it look neater.

i do think the idea is there though, looks clean and fresh just needs a little tweak

I like the simplicity.
Not too happy with the grey background but sounds like you working on that.
Pink flower is ok, but would get some piccys of nicely decorated rooms.
Looking at the commercial rates - you are very cheap - would not like you round my area as a competitor.
Are you sure you got your rates ok?
It is going to make you a living is it, plus some.... or is it a hobby?

Hmmm.  You think the service is too cheap.  The fee is yearly and simply guarantees that the client will always have a cleaner especially in times of holiday or sickness etc.  I didn't want to overprice the service because they will be paying an hourly rate for their cleaner who I will have already interviewed and reference checked.  You've made me think though.  Also thanks for the comments about the site.  I thought it was utterly gorgeous but I don't s'pose I'm the best judge.  Bit hurt you think my cleaning business is a hobby.  Ouch!
Luv Marigold

Sorry Marigold, did'nt mean to offend.
Its just that the price you seem to be charging is in my opinion not sufficient to sustain a living..... ok as an hobby.
I am sure you are running it to provide a living.

For someone who has 2 hours per week what will the hourly rate equate to?
and if they had 3 hours per week?
If you dont mind saying.

Thanks everyone.  I'm looking at all your suggestions right now.  Definitely too many pink flowers so I'm changing the layout slightly.  Thanks for taking the time to look at it.
