Looks good! As you say, things to do yet but you've made a good start! One thing if I may suggest...more detail on the etheric crystal healing 'cos it sounds a bit vague at the moment and where you have written 'I tend to use reiki or etheric crystal...' in your reiki healing explanation, change 'I tend to' to 'I specialise in..' Sounds much more in control.

Looks good! Couple of things I would change:

- Go with a slightly "softer" font throughout - a sans-serif one like Arial, Tahoma, Verdana and the like. Serifed fonts seem harsher because of the angular bits on the ends of letters. Keep the font type and size consistent throughout, otherwise it looks odd and feels a bit unsettling.

- You seem to have a mix of font sizes and colours on the Reiki page, not sure if that's deliberate or not but, if it is, perhaps make it stand out more by using bold as well as the different size and a stronger change in colour than blue to purple so it looks more deliberate.

- I agree with Shantu - a clearer description on the Ethereal Crystal Healing page would be good and a picture of some crystals would really set it off, especially as you have pictures on other pages.

- Attunements - the font is a totally different size and colour to the one used in the majority of the rest of the site and so it looks a bit odd. Perhaps actually list the attunements you do and a paragraph or so description of what they actually are (even if they're described on your other pages) and only then direct people to the online shop. I wouldn't have a clue what Tiger Reiki is and if I can't find the information on a site, I go elsewhere - something you don't want people to do!

- Online shop - if you're able to put a little picture in with each description, even if it's just a generic picture e.g. a chakra picture, tiger or dolphin - it makes a better connection with the item you're selling as it makes it more visual. The candles especially - what's the difference between those candles and your bog-standard candle? Perhaps add a brief explanation there as well as a picture of them.

- Contact page - the word "contact" in the side menu is uncapitalised, which looks odd when everything else is.

- Links page - perhaps add a short couple of sentences to explain what each link is, makes people more interested in them.

- For some reason the white background (the bit behind the text and everything) seems a bit harsh to me - maybe just add a hint of colour, grey, blue, pink or something just to take the harshness out of it - don't need a lot of colour, can be very very pale - just enough to take the edge off the white. That one is pure personal opinion though.

- Only other thing I can think of is that it's called "Angelwings Therapies" yet there are no angels or angel wings pictures anywhere on the site, which I might have expected. Again, that's personal opinion.


Otherwise, I like it! Hope it gets you good business

The font size on the crystal healing page is much better than the smaller font on the other pages. There are quite a few gramatical and spelling mistakes - haven't pointed them out as I wasn't sure if you were still yet to proof read.

Good luck!

HI ES, just discovered your wonderful website, felt the lovely angelic energy right away.
Only one minor correction if I may.... Testimonials instead of Testimonial's on the links buttons on left menu and web page.

Wishing you success, always.
