Hi Kay,

I must agree... having your own website rather than being on the host's server is tantamount to being in business for oneself. It is not that expensive and if you want people to believe that you are successful, it's the logical move.

That said... I find the layout to the site rather hmmmm, plastic... cookie cutter, unoriginal. Did you purchase a template? Not that this is a bad thing, but it doesn't serve to distance you from any of your competition.

Also, when offering VA services, we professionals are beginning to actively look for accreditation... I would look into it. It will give your business more credibility. You might wish to address that question in your FAQs, until you do get accredited.

Also, the email link... it is standard, if not customary to use a fill-in form these days for email to prevent miners from using your email address for spam.

Other than that, it looks like a great start... You are right on target thinking there is a market for your services. I use several VAs. One on retainer (our bookkeeper) and the rest on call.

Good luck,

T
