I am amazed that such an elegant template is available in weebly.com.
Anyway, I think you have spent too long to get such a great site.
I noticed that your CV is available only for download; why not putting it in a new page
so that it's readable and searchable (Especially by search engines) ?
Also, why not increasing font size for important paragraphs, such as the starting one
in the home page?

My CV opens in pdf in a new window, so that the visitor can then choose whether to save it on their pc or not. I was just thinking about the customer here:) I will however consider your suggestion!
I also had my doubts about the font size, so I will give it some thought!
Thanks, Ali:)

Lots of useful and important information about yourself and your business. Maybe too much?
About the "If you require"-list on your landing page: shouldn't the bullets be followed by lower cases? This paragraph reads like a single sentence, especially as you go on with "take", so I wouldn't use capitals here.
Apart from that, I think the website is pretty good!

I don't think there's anything wrong with the bullet points capitalisation. The only thing I might change would be to remove the "can" from "so that you can receive..." to make it more immediate, but that's just a minor detail.

Hi Diana
It looks very good and very professional.
A couple of small comments. I agree with Neilmac - it would be better to remove the "can" from "can receive".
I would possibly change "private customers" to "individual customers".
Also, your name at the top. If possible, could you make this a darker colour, so that it stands out more.
Very best wishes
Maureen

It's a pretty straightforward website provding basic information about your service. I think a blog will have the effect you need.

| Still weebly ? | Feb 6, 2014 |
Hi Diana,
Is your actual website still the one you asked feedback about?
I am starting one and somebody did direct me to Weebly... Hence I am doing some research on it...
Thanks for your reply...

| I like it :-) | Feb 7, 2014 |
It looks professional and I really like the home page picture, the (cherry?) trees lend a nice touch of color.
I would use bold fonts for the menu and, just like someone else recommended, bigger fonts for the name, but not too much bigger. But these are only personal preferences.
I would add the country code to the phone number for international clients (unless you target mostly the local clients).

@Valerie:
Yes, I still use Weebly, but I am now considering hiring a designer to add some graphic elements and make it look more professional.
I use Weebly because I don't need to nag anyone when I need to update the information and Wordpress is simply too complicated for me.
@Annamaria:
I can't believe I forgot about the country code!!!
In rest, multumesc mult pentru comentarii ... See more @Valerie:

| Went back to your site to check for multi language option | Feb 11, 2014 |
and I noticed it is only in English.
Or have I missed something?

| No easy option for multiple languages in Weebly | Feb 11, 2014 |
I like Weebly for quickly building a website, but there isn't an easy way to have more than one language on the same site without playing with some of the coding.
You can make several builds of the site, translate them, link them to each other, and then upload them to your own hosting provider. Proz membership comes with free hosting, or you can sign up with one of the other companies out there (we use Hostgator).

| It sounded so much easier | Feb 15, 2014 |
the way they explain it... but then when you actually reads until the end it is a bit off putting...
Wordpress has also a whole process for multi language websites.
Thanks anyway...
