Feedback on new website

After a couple of days of messing around with it, I think it looks okay for a plain vanilla website. All seems to work, but the link to notary rotary is not correct (have had a request in for different code to no avail yet). Perhaps you'll like some of the pictures anyway. The website is http://home.everestkc.net/peyton.

All comments welcome - even the negative ones.

Hi Vince: Looks good to me, although I did notice that you do at Bor. Pace, which is fine, indicating that bor will not be rushed, but did you mean Place? If place, then I would substitute "bor. location of choice" to help clarify that it could be anywhere.

Under Important Note it states "as Vince is not an attorney. We do assist"
Now, my issue here is that you are going from 3rd person singular voice to 1st person plural in the same paragraph. You may want to adjust this.

I see some editing could still be done, but as you said, you are up and everything is working so I feel you are aware of this. Good luck, feel free to tinker and ask again. I love to see what others are doing.

Thanks - did the pictures link load with all of them?

Is that too much? The originals were huge files so do not want to take up a lot of persons time with the personal stuff, especially for those without a fast connection...

Borrower's pace or Borrowers' pace? Sometimes there is only one borrower and within your text you make mention of borrower (singular). Consistency should be used throughout the site.

I would also be wary of putting a last revised date, as you may not be updating as often as would be required to keep the date "current".

What is AEBS, Inc? No mention of those letters are made on the site, & they are not your initials, so I'm wondering what they actually stand for (they are your site's title which is what will appear in search engine results.) Your best bet it to have your name, location or main subject be part of your site's title. People won't be searching for AEBS necessarily.

I didn't even check the first time, but went back. NotRot had prob., which you said were aware of. Photos of Corn Palace down to Christmas in Vermont loaded. So nice to see Corn Palace - coolest place I took my kids to many years ago. Sure beat Wall Drug Store, altho that fun too. All other photos loaded were places I've been - just loved it. Since an add-on was req. to view Vermont, I declined. Not looking for travelogue - want a notary.

Looks good, but I don't like the 3rd person verbage.

Third person verbiage is recommended to be available in search engines. Search for your name will pull up your site, vs. a search for "I".

I didn't know that, you just taught me something.

I think it looks great other than the font was a little hard for these old eyes to see and read.

OT - 2 years ago I went to Atchison Kansas to my cousin's daughter's wedding. At her reception is where I asked my other cousin what exactly he was doing. He explained it to me. I said "I can do that", tell me how. That is where it all started for me as a NSA. in Atchison KS.

Not bad at all - but the personal link is a filler

Vacation photos and hobbies should be for a personal website, it's not relavant to our business. Otherwise, it's not bad at all. Clean, to the point, easy to read.

I would like another color to break up the blue. To me, it seems to run together (not enough line breaks) and makes the reading a little more difficult as well as monotonous. I didn't have the feeling that this is something I want to wade though. But then, what do I know.?
