Migrated from 7.0 to 7.1 and looking for feedback to my refreshed website

Site URL: https://www.marzarellafitness.com

Hi folks, 

I would appreciate any feedback to my site, good or bad. I have thick skin. Please be honest. If it sucks just tell me why. 

Thank you very much.

Hi. I think you really have to invest in good photography. Another thing is you have a lot of empty space between the text, a lot of scrolling. And too much difference between the font sizes. 

I think you have to replace the big logo on the front page to a simple and straight message to your customers with a good picture in the background. The message could be what you can offer to them to improve their lives. Forget about the logo does not add anything. 

Regards

The initial screen with the logo looks great to me. I like the way it has the logo big and the menu at the top, personally.

Scrolling down though...

I do like the black and yellow.

I think there is too much on the front page. I would move Staff, Testimonials, Values, Services, etc to other pages given the design choice of the big logo with clear menu at the top of the page. 

I personally would keep the big logo, and reduce the first page to about 1/4 (or maybe 1/6) of its current length.

You have a mix of really nice photos and really low quality photos

Good use of "call to action" buttons

The styling on the main page feels kind of random, how each section has a different style. Its as though you were experimenting with different layouts to see what you like.

For me, #1 thing  to improve is the very large, low quality photos. But I'm a photographer so I notice that sort of thing!

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I cant do much about the lower quality photos. There's some photos in it from over 15 years ago. I will be replacing some of the older ones with iPhone 11 Pro photos in the months to come. For now, this is the best I can do. 

I'm on the fence with the logo. I am going to consider your thoughts. 

As for the scrolling, I fixed it by adding a back to the top button. 

Thank you again.

I'm playing with moving the testomonials to another page, and services. 

The styling colors are my gym colors, charcoal black, gold, and white. Not much I can do about that, as I've been using those colors for years.

When you say layouts, what would you suggest the layout should be?

Oh, I was saying I think those colors look great.

My apologies I missed that. Thank you.

I would love any feedback now that I have made some changes.

Nice website! I like the typography, it fits well with the purpose. Also, spacing and layout looks great😊

This is what I would improve:

1. As someone else said, some of the images are very low resolution. I use Let's Enhance to increase resolution, you can try it here: https://letsenhance.io
2. "DID YOU SEARCH “PERSONAL TRAINERS NEAR ME”?" This text is a bit weird so I would change it to something else. Or do most of your visitors come from this search term?

Trainers near me is a term that is used frequently. Is it too in your face for SEO? I have been thinking about that. I am in the middle of getting a video done (documentary/commercial) and I will probably be changing the front page anyway. I’ll probably leave the SEO in the “back office” of the page. It has been pretty successful. 
I will delete those low resolution pictures soon and replace them with newly updated higher resolution photos. Some I will keep and use that link you mentioned. 
Thanks for the helpful input. I appreciate it.

Your idea for increasing resolution was really good. I re-ehanced a bunch of photos from a long time ago. They look great. 

@cmarzarella Glad I could help😊
