Ready for Round 2

Last week I invited you to critique my “Work With” page. Those of you who stepped up offered so much insight and information. I had to put your suggestions to work. After a few hours and quite a few revisions, I’m bringing it back for another look.

Here’s what I did.

Joanna’s Observations

Mike’s additions

Shama’s Suggestions

I also changed the picture and made all of the writing parallel.

Now What?

First, a huge thank you! A special thank you to Joanna, Mike, and Shama for writing their thoughts out here for all to see. I thought it only fair that I show you the result. To see the full page, click on the link above the screenshot.

    Hi Liz, how funny, I was going to e-mail you this morning to say how much better your about page looked and what a fabulous lifelong learner you are, taking what you’ve learned and immediately applying it!

    I think it’s much better now, a lot more specific, and I have a much clearer idea of what would happen if I was going to work with you.

    I come around once in a while, but don’t comment often.

    The trick is making a headline about the reader without making it corny. I think you did that with this makeover.

    I have a hard time with testimonials, they can make you look spammy and take away from credibility. But I like it when they are done right, and you did them right here.

    My only question is…
    In your call to action, could you use something more direct? Something that includes the benefits to me if I take action?

    HI Steve!
    Thanks for coming around! I know you do. I visit you the same way. :)

    Your opinion matters. The testimonial thing is what made me hesitate when it wa suggested. I’m going to look at that call to action. I’m guessing you’re talking about the big one. :)

    Hi Liz, the new page looks fantastic. The testimonials work well – they break up the narrative into bite-size pieces (thanks for including my words of praise!). My opinion on the headline – it’s quite effective as a statement, though I don’t know if putting BE in all caps adds anything.
