Re: my website although i have not looked over your website throughly yet i have have a few sujestions on how to improve.  spelling (i know that i have bad spelling right now but this is not a professional web site)look over your website.  you could copy and paste in toa micro soft word etc. the "our business philosophy" in my oponion could be deleted all together. that is what all babysitters do... i makes you sound a little imature. the "our babysitters" is good but if you are an equal partner ship don't put. "i'm lexi and there is another babysitter too" in about us, both of you write your own paragraph about you. example our babysitting bussiness is rapidly growing...bla bla bla...here are our two babysitters. Amanda bla bla bla age, siblings, avaliabiltly, courses taken etc. no last name and better with no picture.  (take out the "rules" and put the age groups in  your descriptions like "i prefer working with children 2 and up"  and the time restrictions could go it the avaliablity) Anna same things as above. age etc don't say things  more than once. in your website. i think the whole reserve a sitter can go .. poeple know to call if they want you.  i think you should just put  the email then give out phone numer when you see that they are ok.  there are some wierd people out there. if you would like to see my web site it is below http://www.freewebs.com/teale7o/ good luck, sorry if i was a bit harsh i just want to help.    Report

Re: my website It looks very unfinished to me.  Like a rough draft.  It's definitely a good start, though, and with some editting could be a very good business tool that sets you apart from other babysitters in your area.  Not many sitters have their own business website! Go over your entire website and check for proper spelling, punctuation, and capitalization.  Just like a resume when applying for a job, this is a parent's introduction to you and a reflection of you.  Make it count! Some things are unnecessary, and therefore clutter your website.  I would completely do away with the "Reserve a Sitter" portion, and instead replace it with a basic contact information section.  You currently are telling them how to hire a sitter, and it makes it seem as if you believe the parents to be incapable of knowing how to do that...if you just give them your first name and E-mail address (NOT your phone number on a public website!), I'm pretty sure they'll know how to go about it. Anyone else have any suggestions for improvement? *Love in Christ from Mary* 1 Peter 2:4-5 Vote my agency, Seminole Sitters, the "Best Overall Business" in Tallahassee for the 2007 Tally Awards at EverythingTallahassee.com!!!    Report

Re: my website Keep working on it and it'll get better.  Just put yourself in the parents' shoes...if they've never met you before, or only met you once, this is your opportunity to make a great impression.  Keep it simple and to the point, and only put on what is necessary.  Even if you only have one main page (no links to click or go to), they're still able to bookmark your website and always know how to reach you. *Love in Christ from Mary* 1 Peter 2:4-5 Vote my agency, Seminole Sitters, the "Best Overall Business" in Tallahassee for the 2007 Tally Awards at EverythingTallahassee.com!!!    Report

Re: my website Right now, it's a 4.  Very confusing, too much to see and do.  A business website for childcare needs to be simple and to the point -- too many links to go to and see.  The location is also unnecessary (you can write in your introduction that you two are sitters in ___ County in [state]).  It's definitely a work-in-progress.  Keep going -- every great project had a lot of work behind it. *Love in Christ from Mary* 1 Peter 2:4-5 Vote my agency, Seminole Sitters, the "Best Overall Business" in Tallahassee for the 2007 Tally Awards at EverythingTallahassee.com!!!    Report
