Now I need my WEBSITE critiqued : )

I need your ladies advice again! I just pretty much finished my website, and was wondering if you guys would mind looking around and letting me know what you think. Just to let you know the link to cesareans is working on the home page but not any of the others and I can't seem to fix it. And also the "" and , are not showing up.
Thanks in advance!

Very pretty! Here's some stuff I noticed...

x. On the "What is a doula?" page, there are lots of little ?s where, I believe, quotation marks or apostrophes should be - at least in some instances. As I get deeper into your site, this seems to crop up ever so often on other pages as well. Also, in the first sentence, the fragment ", the woman probably," doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

x. On the FAQ page, you may want to differentiate between questions and answers by making the questions bold, or a different font color.

x. On the "About Me" page, I might put the last paragraph first as that is when you introduce yourself and tell about your interests and hobbies. The placement of the pictures of your baby (so sweet, by the way!) on that page are also a little wonky on my end. The second one is on the left side with the words "I began to" right next to it, and the rest of the paragraph underneath it.

Other than those things, it's a lovely site!

Did you know there are some areas in your text, that have "?" throughout? Other than that, I find it very pleasing to the eye!!

Yeah, I know about the question marks, I forgot to say that, I just learned how to fix that problem. The html wasn't reading the word quotations, so I need to go change them. I am also working on the boldness and centering of titles

Thank you for you imput!

I think that's why she said that "" and ,'s aren't working I did notice, though, on the home page, that you are missing an apostrophe where you have "in a womans life..." you need one in "womans" to make it "woman's." I figure there's not one there since there isn't a "?" in it's place!
Beautiful pics. I haven't gotten to read through it yet...but hopefully later!

In the FAQ there's an extra 'the' in the first line of the first answer. And the second comma in the last line of the 1st question should be deleted (confusing much?!?). 2nd answer should be "she has other (no s) things to offer". Do you want your emaill addy on there? I really like it, & I LOVE the Cesarean page

Well maybe I'm a total prude but the pic on the homepage was a little make naked than I was prepared for casually browsing a website LOL! I think it is a great pic, but maybe it would be better suited for another page. Especially for people who might be accessing your website from a work computer.

I think you might have too many navigation options. The more choices you provide the more confusing the user experience can be... they are less sure where to click first or where to find the information they want. The more condensed the navigation is, the easier it is for them to find their way around. I guess, in short, you are only going to get them to look at so many pages so it is best to have fewer nav options with as much succinct information on each page as possible. Does that make sense?
