I have written this site largely in css too, I noticed the navbar issue last night and will resolve it. Its actually only out on one route through because there is a test menu left accidently on the page. A later job will be to make the navigation bar a bit nicer in general, at the moment funtionality is the order of the day so that the site can start working for me. I also put my phone and email as an image file to save getting spam from unwanted robots. Best wishes to you all Joel Hi Debbie,

As a fairly new web site designer, I know what you are going through. One thing I'd like to comment on: when you are revising the web site, make sure that your navigator bars all match. This can get tricky, especially if you have a lot of pages. I would limit the number of pages at the beginning to about 5 so there's not so much to change each time. I noticed a couple of errors, so they should be corrected to provide consistency. I write in CSS which changes all pages simultaneously, and makes life a lot easier, but that's another story. I love that you have your phone and email on each page. I am going to do that to my web site. Great job! Hi Joel,

Well isn't it the way that things start to roller-coaster when you're on the right track? I have just had to update the site manually because my server support has been down. (approx 50 page site) which is not much fun with all the associated image files but will payoff for SEO. In addition I have been given the green lights to start at the gym but the room needs a little lick of paint first. I figure to open in September but will start getting promo stuff out now. Thank you for your support Eileen, Tony and Jayne I still want to add a lot more content such as recomended stretches and self help videos for all ailemtns and sports. Presently the pictures of shiatsu are not me but will get some taken this weekend, hopefully a vid of me working too. Any ideas are very welcome. I will keep you posted on progress. I also have other questions but lets get this bit done first! Thanks again Joel Hello Hello!

Are the pictures in the site actually of you or are they clip art that anyone else could use? Maybe you could also add a video that actually shows you massaging a client. Be sure to add testimonials (as you gather them) to your site as well. Do you have a place to capture your potential clients contact info? What if you offered to send clients a regular newsletter? You would capture their email and be able to tell them about up and coming specials or even let them know of any last minute cancellations you may have to fill an otherwise empty session. Today is the 17th, so change the date on those unfinished pages if necessary. Keep up the great work. To Your Success!! Jayne Thomas Joel the site is really starting to come together.

It is a style of writing that I am struggling to achieve myself. So I must agree with Eileen above that more of this distinctive style should be brought out somewhere on the site. I can't wait to see how the remaining pages turn out. I really like the site and in particular Joel’s description of what shiatsu is and how it works.
