its a good start... nice and simple. Just don't forget that people don't buy products, they buy the benefits that the products bring them. Always make sure you have a strong offer and a good call to action....
Looks good! Nice use of color and graphics. I agree with Keith, you need to highlight your call to action; tell people what they will get, and emphasize your phone number. You may want to shorten your contact page, only ask for the minimum information you need to make contact and indicate which ones are required to fill. Too many blank fields scare people.
It's clean and appealling -- you look serious but not forbidding.
Proofread:
In this sentence - "FITNESS DONE RIGHT is based on the belief that it's clients' needs & goals are of the utmost importance" - be sure to change "it's" to "its" with No apostrophe. (bugs the stuffing out of me ;-)
Instead of saying it's in your blood, I'd like to know - as a client - what you've been doing for the past 10 years
Hi Ravi. Well, first off, the overall design and color usage comes off real nice I think. It has balance and all that great stuff. However, it still comes off a bit bare. I would take a look at some super professional pages, maybe Bally's or Powerhouse or something and pick up some hints from it. But, adding things into your page may just come with time as well. Also, I did like that you included plenty of options for contact information from potential clients. That's a good idea, provided it's optional. So, overall, not bad at all, just a bit bare still yet.
And, yeah, I'd have to say, Linda actually raised a very good point. Potential clients will want to know what you have been doing that reflects your lifestyle and ability to train them. Certainly, you will want to be as persuasive as you can, but tell them what you can to give them the certainty that training them really is in your blood.
Also, I liked that your 'about us' was written in 3rd person. But, if you didn't write that... I think that you should have it signed by whoever did. That way folks know that you didn't write it. ;)
So, I'm familiar with Vista-Print and looking for a site host myself. How much do you have to pay to use them??
Linda - I fixed the "it's' haha....thanks for that error :)
As far as training, I have only been actually training for about a year, but have been an enthusiast and friend/family training for about 10. So I, myself, am fairly new at the training scene, but enjoy every second of it!
P.S - I see you live in So Cal, I will be moving out there looking to further my training in less than a year!
Jerry - Thanks for the feedback!
I will check out those sites and get some more ideas for sure.
As far as VistaPrint, I only pay 5 bucks a month to keep the page up and running, not bad right?
When I ordered my business cards, they gave me the option of making a page, so I figured, why not!
