Help--Please take a look @ website!

Hello Ladies!
Ever work on something so much that you lose all perspective?

Well, a Marketing Guru suggested that I include testimonials and a newsletter, so I've been re-working my website. I still have a few glitches to fix (text that cuts off & a few stubborn pics)....But I'm desperate for feedback.
If anyone has the time, please take a look at it and give me some constructive criticism--really honest feedback....How can I make it more user-friendly? Appealing to pregnant and new moms?

Thanks!
Beth

I think the content is good, there are just little glitches here and there, which it seems like you know about.

I like the font and colors.

my suggestion would be to use only 2 different colours in the font and be consistent in the size. (at least on my screen) it seems to jump around a lot from bigger to smaller.

looks good though! content is excellent.

The home page is a little stark w/out the soft grey that you have on the other pages. Content is great. I'd agree w/ the other posts about the color and size of the fonts.
The only other thing that I noticed was that there's a jump back and forth from real photos to cartoon/drawings. I think that it would look better to go w/one or the other and not go back and forth.
You've got a good start! Let us know when it's finished.

I'm pitching once again for sitekreator.com Great sites, no ads.

Ladies,ladies,

Thank you so much! Everything you suggested makes perfect sense, and I'm in the process of implementing all of it!
I've never heard of sitekreator--I will check it out. Netfirms is only 9.95 a year for my domain and webhosting. And, especially since I didn't work for MUCH of the year (baby boy is almost 10 months old!), I try to keep expenses to a minimum.
If anyone has further suggestions, or wants to comment on the updates (I'm not quite done) it's much appreciated!!
Thanks again!
