Thank you, Zed. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

Hi Deepshika – I have a lot to say about your web site particularly in the context that I am discipling myself currently and others to approach from a client centric view. This is not just about fuss and flannel but like Anuj says below finding the ’hero’ content, a phrase I had not heard before. Trouble is how to do. Well, I assert that this must be to do with the potential client recognising themselves and their issues and the copy speaking to the value proposition for their persona. Fix with me again to have a chat and I will tell you more. Who knows might turn in to an event before long!

Initial thought when opening the site is – wow, how professional does this look?!
Some tweaks to think about:
The second section, below the fold, I was expecting the image to change with each part of the new paradigm – it would be great to use that space to show how you can support meeting these elements.
I’m not sure if the scrolling image section adds as much as the sections that follow it – removing it would get to the ”what you offer” more quickly and perhaps with more impact.
On your Our Story section, you may want to tweak some of the phrasing to continue the ”our/we” rather than ”my/I” – I love the quotes you’ve chosen, and the little illustrations that go with What people are saying (it would be good to use these throughout).
I hope that helps some!

Hi Deepshikha!
I agree with Lexi, this is so professional, but also engaging and full of personality. I loved your about section and the quotes, they made me want to read every page 🙂
For some reason the Personal Futures page wouldn’t open for me. It says Safari can’t open the page when I try but everything else works. Maybe my internet?
I also love the style of illustrations on the about page and the exponential tech page, I wonder if you could find something more aligned with this style for the Welcome and offerings pages? Or align the other way if that makes sense.
Other than that I’ve got nothing – I loved it and I want to learn more 🙂

Thank you so much Caoimhe Kelly for taking the time to review the site. Found the feedback super helpful ! Wanted to reply to the message propely and then got delayed in reverting.
Thanks for letting me know that one of the pages is not opening. Also, got a better understandimg on whats working and not working. Planning to align the last 3 pages to the first 2 page format. So, thanks for that tip as well! 🙂

No problem at all 🙂 I’m glad it was helpful and I’m looking forward to seeing the next iteration!

Great job Deepshikha Yadav! This is impressive 🙂
The content is very clear and to-the-point. I can clearly tell what your business is about from the website.
I’d like to highlight the look and feel of it. It’s very clean and easy on the eye – How long did it take you to build if I may ask? Did you use WordPress, Squarespace or Wix?

Thank you, Lorenzo! These points means a lot….coming from a perfectionist like you. Hehe. I wasn’t expecting the site to be ”Lorenzo-approved” just yet.
To answer your questions –
1) I built it on softr.io and would recommend it to anyone who is reading this. My rationale for using softr was (and it is a bit counterintutive) – it has limited functionalities. Having limited options helped me get going with it without being bogged down in picking from too many options.
2) I started building it during the website week in the course and I think I was 70% done in a month, then stopped it completly for a while, and then started tweaking for 5-10 mins every now and then lately. So, I am guessing around 5-7 weeks.

Hi Deepshikha, hope you’re well
I really like that your website and the graphics and colours that you use give it a nice feel and personality. I like that you have a lot of information on your website yet it doesn’t feel too overwhelming or overly busy- I think there’s a great balance there. The moving carosel of images is also really nice and gives a nice interactive feel to the site. -
Thank you everyone for taking the time out and giving such detailed feedback. Appreciate it so much! I will be reverting to everyone’s messages properly soon! Much love!!

Thank you Ella Bernie :)! These were (whether the content is clear enough, is it too much info etc) , again, some of the things I was curious to know through feedback. So thanks for letting me know. Btw, for the most part, got the clarity on how to frame the information through breakout room discussions with the cohort.

Deepshikha Yadav Great first impression, some of the things I like to point out which can be important
1. Call to action button colour is the same as your content color, so I would suggest using a different colour (http://www.joehallock.com/edu/COM498/preferences.html)
2. I didn’t get how it would help me until I spent 5 minutes going through the website’s content. So I think one strategy can be ”hero content can give a solution to your potential audience.”
One example is ”how we helped Anuj think about startup idea ”. (https://contextpr.co.uk/resource/how-to-create-successful-hero-content/)

Ooh thank you Anuj Tyagi for supplementing the comment with resources. Definitely going to check out the links and tweak the site, Also yes that was one of the thing I wanted to know through the feedback – that for someone who doesnt know me from before, is the site is clear enough to quickly convey what I do. So thanks for that, will tweak i around.

Give me some time Deepshikha and I will. Good exercise as I am currently working on my own upgrades!
