  1. One additional comment: Your resume skips from past to active voice and then to the use of present participles regardless of the time that you held/hold the jobs.
  2. My congratulations for your success in gaining experience with a variety of clients and with numerous firms prior to your graduation. My only concern relates to the manner in which your relate information regarding your roles and tasks. To me, it simply reads like a job listing posting. While it's sometimes difficult to identify those tasks with which you were best able to demonstrate your particular expertise and star-worthy results, I encourage you to do so. Tell your story. You've worked hard I'm sure to earn your degree and experience. Flaunt it in a way that a reader can better understand who you are, not simply some company's idea of tasks an employee must complete. Also, a few elements read like a quick post on social media. Make the effort to let the reader know who you are! From the information you have provided, I'm sure they'll consider the opportunity to know you better to be a privilege. Good luck to you!
  3. Great logo. Grammarly is a tool that some bloggers use to ensure blog posts are clear and error free. Without it, posts that seem clear to me may include my typical odd word choices -- lay versus lie -- or fail to convey an idea. Good luck!
  4. Hello, I think your site's mission is to provide an opportunity for people to become aware of local businesses and activities to perhaps establish and build a sense of community while increasing the traffic to those businesses and events. the photo display provides the viewer to relate to the company owners and gives the reader a sense of what is available in the town. I am a little confused by the tab categories: Stories, Live, and Daily and so on. For instance, if the Stories section is an opportunity to "sell" a company to a reader, you might mention a selling point. For example, X Autos mechanics have 150 years experience in total. X Snowmobile Club blah, blah. I am no expert in community services or community magazines, but if it were me I might research some websites of other communities that are produced by the city's chamber of commerce or by publishers of city lifestyle magazines.
  5. It's clear you spent time selecting fonts, a color scheme, photo display and so on. If I were a customer seeking help with a rebrand, I'd be interested in "before-and-after" information. I'm not suggesting a play by play for your examples. But you might consider the top one or two issues you solved by rebranding. For instance, was there a problem with the market focus? new products, or what? Then, perhaps a couple of sentences or phrases about your solution and the benefit to the customer of that solution.
  6. The message on the home page seems unrelated to the sale of gems. As do the floral photos.
  7. You are a gifted artist. In regards to your site: The website header size on some pages is a bit frustrating to me. For example, the header on the Louisiana Art page could be a selling point for you if you revealed a bit more of the painting. My sense is that "framing" a header is similar to framing a photo or painting, in that there should be a focal point. So, the glimpse you display is a bit disconcerting. That photo seems more of a placeholder than a means to tell your story. Have you considered using other categories, such as portraits, still life and nature or New-Orleans-inspired, then adding sub-categories original and gilded art? If it were my site, I would want to grant the visitor immediate access to his product of interest, say portraits. I would also provide photos of your winning books or illustrations and your paintings of noteworthy individuals, then describe them as such. Many of us love art and appreciate the demands of the craft, but all of us tend to fall victim to the celebrity effect. It's the age of influencers. In my opinion, if you think of your site as a canvass to illustrate your story as a fine artist, just as you illustrate a book, your offering will come to life.
  8. Hello, The epoxy art is lovely and the colors vibrant. I give a site very limited time to convince me that I can find the product of my dreams there. So, as a site visitor I want to know what serving items I might purchase: coasters, a cutting block of x size, and so on. I don't want to be required to look through the blue, green and pink collections to see what colors I might purchase one particular product in. I also want to know the type of wood used and some proof that the items are safe for food service. Hand crafted? Equally important, do you offer a particular set of products that are customized in the same abstract manner, the main difference being that each item comes in one of three colors? If that's true, when you name each separate product in the "Blue" collection, for example, a different name that seems to refer to the decorative pattern, rather than the product's function. So, I'm going to assume that if I ordered three "Rivers," I'm going to get three exact replicas of what I see in the photo. Good luck!
  9. Have you considered a second review of the items you include in your "...Directory of Leaders?" Speaker, Consulting, Web, Advisory, Tech, Diagnostic don't seem informative categories to me. I'm assuming anyone that's an "expert" is a speaker, for instance. You might consider visiting a noted business publication, such as Harvard Business Review, to identify common topics by which to categorize business functions and thus your leaders. Do the same for the technical categories. IMO, leaders will not spend time searching through the set of all the professionals listed on your site as a speaker in hopes of identifying one who speaks on the topic of disruption or artificial intelligence supported strategy, or super teams or killer ideas, for instance.
  10. CIOs, CEOs, CFOs seek specific skillsets. It seems to me you've already designated these individuals as experts by their inclusion on your site. If I have 10 seconds to scan your home page, and I read "Top International Coach and Consultant" I'm moving on. I want to know what skill(s) set these individuals apart. For instance, one person's label is "Top International Consultant and Coach" but then you say 'Strategy Coach and Facilitator." I don't know if she has multiple international clients as a (What Kind of Strategy) Strategy Coach, or if her expertise is actually someone who supports international business, such as strategizing the import of products to US from a foreign country or vice versa. People also specialize in certain strategies: Is she a growth strategist? M&A strategist? Co-opetition strategist? What? One person doesn't do it all well. Then, on the second line she purports to be a specialist in organizational learning. And then, she says she's also a leadership expert. I hope this helps. Good luck with your site!
  11. Congratulations on your personal accomplishments in the world of sports and on your acquisition of a long list of clients. Your website conveyed your interest in sports from a participant's perspective. If I were seeking a photographer, there are some questions left unanswered. I did not recognize the answer to the customer's questions "What can this business do for me?" and "What tools, training, expertise, practical skills will enable him to do my job better than anyone else?" Take a look at the sites of other nature photographers, environmental photographers, or sports photographers (I'm not sure which market space holds your interest.) For instance, https://artwolfe.com/about/ https://www.chrisburkard.com/Pages/About It's the expected: Who, What, Where, When, Why and HOW. Good luck with the site! and good fortune on your adventures.
