Wow, cheesy midi music, ugly animated snowflakes, and an annoying trailing thing on the cursor. All that's missing are a bunch of pop up ads to put it in the running for one of the worst sites on the internet!

I'm with Cali on this one (long)
the added graphics make the site look amateur, like someone on AOL (aka internet for dummies). No offense, but AOL is nursery school as far as internet browsers. Different subject, sorry.
I don't get the connection between fruit and notary services. On the about us page it states that "We are California notary Public in Oakland..." which suggests plural of notary public, i.e., notaries public. We should not be a singular. Alternately, you may be "A" notary public, but that would be singular, not we.
Further, "We are Mobile Notary service in Oakland and as a
Oakland Notary service we provide our " -- we are "A" mobile notary service and it shouldn't be *a Oakland* but "an" Oakland.
Your attention to detail shows in your grammar and misuse of singular/plural and an before a word that begins with a vowel sound.
This is a sentence fragment -- Our Services are not expensive, we prefer to establish repeat business we keep our rates fair -- and is missing end punctuation.
Now, that's just one part of your site. After reading the first paragraph, most will exit & find another site. That's IF they even bother to click through the "splash page". The flashy graphics are ok for a personal page, but not for a professional one. You are not projecting a professional image with this site as it is.
The simple graphics and links to the various pages of your site is good. The contact information along the bottom (footnote style) is ok, but is difficult to find and read due to the small size and light color against the light background. It's almost a situation of why have it there at all.
That trailing graphic has to go. Any graphics on the page should be there for a reason. Just because you think it's cool is not a good reason to place it on your professional site. If it doesn't have a purpose, get rid of it.
On the notary public page, the stae seal graphic is skewed. Doesn't look professional like that. Same with the upper left-hand graphic on the Certified Loan Signer page.
Pay the $$ for a professional designer if you need to. There are too many small items within your site that just don't lend to a professional image.
You can take this advice or leave it. It's free & you get what you pay for.
