  1. My main goal: Have 1000 recurring customers

    In my early days I thought starting the business itself was the hard part, but now recently starting my third company I know that's not the case. What's the real hard part: Selling and getting customers. Having 1000 recurring customers involves both of that. 

    To keep motivation, I have split my main goal into smaller ones and there are currently two milestones I have reached that I'm proud of to have executed:

    1. Making the product itself (it was hard).
    2. I recently started to get my first recurring customers (I made something that people like).
  2. Nice website, you did a good job with most of the design! Really like the combination with beige/black colors and the photos😊

    Here are a few improvements:

    1. The text "Trouver le courtier qu’il vous faut !" seems to have too much space between the lines.
    2. Make the header links a bit bigger.
    3. The photos don't have the authentic feeling, like the one "Zoom de la semaine" seems a bit too extreme. I would switch some of them to more authentic ones.
  3. Most of the design looks good @mariadelamo 😊

    Here are a few improvements:

    1. Decrease the height of the image slider.
    2. Add a heading where the image slider is now, and explain shortly what the school do.
    3. Decrease the height of the header.
    4. Make the icons a lot smaller. I don't know about your computer skills, but one way to make the icons smaller is to add transparent sides (in e.g. photoshop).

    Good luck!

  4. Two complications where I see people get stuck:

    1. Planning their business too much (then realizing it takes too much effort to continue). Losing motivation.
    2. Having too high expectations. Losing motivation.

    My advice: Start small

    Start small with someting you love, as a complement to your current job or school. This way you will not have as high expectations, and view every small success as a win (= motivation).  

    What I did:

    I'm sure other peoples have other views to this which is great, but I started small and it worked perfectly for me. I started my first company when I was 18. Only earned $200 the first year, but as I continued growing I eventually dropped out of college to run my business full time.

    Wish everyone good luck with their business ideas!🙌😊

     

  5. Congrats on your 5th site @cbieri!🎉

    I think you did a good job, and with a few tweaks it'll be even better:

    1. The navigation seems a bit confusing to me. Some of the links go to pages and some scrolls down on the homepage. It would be better if they did only one of those two things. For your site, I would remove the scrolling-links.
    2. The site is very wide on my large monitor. Change the max-width of the site to something like 1300px.
  6. Nice website, and great job with your products!🌟

    I don't have a lot of improvements as I think the site looks good, but have you thought about making a more personal logo? There are tools online you can use, just search for "Logo maker". I know Squarespace have a logo maker too that you could try.

    Regarding the table I'm not fully sure what you mean.

    Good luck!

  7. The website looks nice in general!👍

    Here are a few improvements:

    1. The size of some elements seems to be off. I would reduce the size of the h1 and the header logo, and slightly increase the size of the normal paragraph text.
    2. Nature images looks very nice, however, they don't reflect your business very well. For example, use some images of you making websites, or images with more people in it. 
  8. Love the art, looks amazing! 😀

    I also think you did a good job with the website, it just needs a few tweaks:

    1. The header is too big - if you decrease the height by half, the subheader will not be a problem anymore.
    2. I like that you show the art directly on the home page. Maybe you could tell a bit more about you on the home page too, at the bottom?

    Good luck!

     

  9. Good work with your website @alexrose, I like it!😊

    The basics are done right, and I don't see any big improvements for it.

    One thing you could do is to add some examples to the packages on your services-page. Like images on a Primary Logo, Secondary Logo, Social Media Profile Logos, Colour Palette, etc.

    Good luck with your project!

  10. Good job @designer-rich! I got a good first impression with the clear message you sent in the hero-image (start image)😊

    Here are two improvements:

    1. Make the texts a bit smaller to improve readability. On my 13-inch MacBook the text and headings are too big.
    2. A good design improvement for the homepage: Instead of having a blue background behind the headings and white behind the paragraphs, use the blue background for both of them. Then use white background for both the second heading and second paragraph. Doing this way, the sections will be better grouped together. And look better.

    Good luck!

  11. Hey @traceyn! 

    I tested your website from my phone, here are two things you can do to make it better:

    1. Change the light greenish background color to something that fit your headings better. For example a light purple or light brownish purple.

    2. Make the intro image (hero image) smaller. Right now it is L height. M or S is better for readability.

    Good luck with your project!😊

  12. Good job with the site, I like it!😃

    I agree with much of what David said, what I can add (he might have said it, didn't watch the whole video):

    1. "Take Your Business To New Heights" is good, but it's also generic - many sites use it. It would be good if you could be just a bit more specific. A solution could be to add a sentence underneath where you are more specific.
    2. Use a thinner underline on the h1-headings.

     

  13. Nice vacation properties you have @sullisnyc 😊

    I don't think you need to change template. It would be nice to hear more in det what they meant with the feedback "difficult to navigate".

    Regarding viewing the photos, I have a better/easier solution: Make all photos visible to that the visitor can scroll them instead of clicking around. If you think the page gets too long, you can split the gallery in to two columns and use the Lightbox option instead. This will make the viewing more pleasing 👍

  14. Good job @Rainmaker (hehe, nice name)! Especially for being your first website! I like that it feels so "light".

    A few improvements:

    1. Definitely agree with adding a short video introduction, good idea.
    2. The fonts and font sizes are good I think. However, would be nice if the "KEYNOTE SPEAKER - ONLINE EDUCATION..." at the bottom had smaller spacing (more normal spacing). It would increase readability.
    3. It would be nice to have another photo. Maybe if you add the video, you can use the photo of you a bit further down in the text.

    Good luck with your consulting business!😊

     

  15. Good work with your website @fairyjobmother, especially if this is your first!😊

    Sizing, structure and layout looks professional.

    One thing I would improve is the contrast of the colors. Right now it looks esthetically good, but to increase readability it would be good if they had more contrast. What you should do is to make the dark text a little bit darker and the blue backgrounds a bit lighter.

    Good luck!
