		<description>@ Harry: well, it just matched perfectly what I was going to portray, plus handing you the Dr. certificate  allows you to wear a mmmhhhh....stethoscope now. Hehehe....

I thank you for doing an amazing job with it!

@ Amy: yes they certainly did. I&#039;m well impressed in what they have done and how well they carried my vision to final completion! Thank you for the compliment. 

@ Terry: thanks buddy, I sure hope so. Had already my first taker which is great. I&#039;ve wanted to do this for a long time coming and now that it is done, I feel like a million dollars.

@ Simonne: it&#039;s great to get feedback like this as it shows I&#039;m on the right track. I appreciate you saying this, thank you very much.

@ Griz: haven&#039;t I just. I&#039;m ecstatic right now and so excited about my future. I would certainly love to hear what you&#039;ve got to say. Skype me if you wish, I&#039;m online now. Bring it on my friend. 

@ James: thanks you for this. Like I mentioned to Vic, I&#039;ve changed over the link issue. I appreciate your feedback on the buy now buttons and am working   on getting these integrated. You Men with Pens certainly rock. :-)</description>

		<description>@ Vic: thank you for your valuable feedback. I think your idea on adding buy now buttons is a great one and I&#039;m going to do this. 

I&#039;ve also rectified the opening on blank pages. Thanks for telling me this wasn&#039;t a good option. I will deter from that in the future. :-)</description>

		<description>Thanks for the linkout, Monika, and we&#039;re really pleased you like your site. Elegant swank is what it&#039;s all about, and we hope that your ROI is rich and beautiful.

Vic is right. If you&#039;re going to show your prices and have packages, include a buy now with some way for clients to communicate their needs to you at the same time. People like anonymity sometimes. (On the other hand, if a client doesn&#039;t want to email you, it&#039;s probably not a great gig.)

Links opening in a new window are also something to avoid - we stopped using them a while back when we heard that there were complaints in the blogosphere.

But these are small details. The image is what matters, and it&#039;ll make a difference, I&#039;m sure.</description>

		<description>Monika, 

My my, haven&#039;t you come a long way. I couldn&#039;t be happier for you and think the site looks great. Very polished. I do have a couple of SEO suggestions for you but only if you want to hear them - let me know. Knock em dead.</description>

		<description>Besides the fact that it looks so stylish due to the black &amp; white choice, your sales pitch is also well written, as it appeals to the dream which every business person has: to make that business more successful. The benefits of hiring you are obvious, and they are nicely supported by the testimonials.

I wish you lots of happy clients,

		<description>Hey I like it very much! That&#039;s a really good look and it does give that air of professionalism and sophistication. Good choice!

That should get the big dollar clients knocking at your door!

		<description>Monika,

Very cool post! Dr. Harrison McLeod...I like the sound of that.

The theme looks great and I wish you all the best with it. It&#039;s amazing what a little face lift can do. Thanks for the links.</description>

		<description>I love it I think it looks great and the black and white option is so elegant used correctly.

Two things I would change.

Studies have shown that many people do not buy services or products just because they cant find how to pay.

I would actually add buy now buttons right under your pkg&#039;s. Make it easy for a potential customer to hire you. You can always make the buttons yourself and make them also elegant.

The second is more of a technical issue. On your Hire Me page in your Services the links open to a new page. This could also be a small turn off since some browsers block pop-ups and also back to studies again LMAO have shown people like to stay inside the website when clicking they only like to be clicked out if they are going to a new website.

To Your Success
