Susan,
I like your home page, (it looks VERY similar to mine!) I would suggest that you put your location on the page somewhere. You have your phone number, but I have no idea where you are located. Also, maybe you should put pricing information on the service page. If I were searching for a Doula, I would want to know how much they charge, or if they charge anything at all.

Susan, it looks great but I think you have a mispelled word under Belly casting at the end:
After the cast is dried you can painted to your liking.
you might want to re-check this...

Tara-
I found a typo or error on your website..



I will help and advice on comfort measures such as breathing, relaxation, massage and positioning.
Did you mean advise or did you mean help and give advice?

Susan your site looks pretty good too!

You guys can check mine out and tell me what I should change or if I have any typos. I know that after I looked over it about 10 times, I am immune to it now!

If you want to add your location you can just add the city, state just about the Birth Doula heading. I would right justify that line so it sits on the right. That will keep it a little separate from the information. That is what I did, anyway

Typos...On your reading list I saw a couple of typos.
When Survivors Give Birth reads When Survivors five Birth
and
The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding reads The Nursing Art of Breastfeeding (unless there is another book I am not aware of lol)

Other than that the only suggestion I would offer is a little something on the first page that is personal from you. For example, a little blurb about your philosophy on the front page...maybe under birth doula. Something that sounds like it comes out of your mouth. I would also suggest a picture of yourself on the site. It makes people feel like that already know you a little before they even meet you.

Oh, and you might want to add how much belly casts start at. The basic rule of thumb is if people have to ask how much it costs they often assume they can't afford it (so they don't even ask).

With all of that said I think it is very pretty and very neat/organized. Its easy to read and not too busy. I really like the colors etc. Great job!!!

The correct link for DONA International is http://www.dona.org. It used to be .com but hasn't been in a couple of years.

Tara, your link title is "I Little About Me". I know that when you have seen it a hundred times, you see what it is supposed to say, not what it actually does say!
