Thought I would post this here as well as my thread.
Ok all, here’s your chance to let me have it!!
I’m getting close to finalizing work on my webpage, and would love to hear what you all have to say about it. Needless to say, this is my “Alpha”, as there’s still a lot of things to do (I have a whole list of stuff that I have to do myself, let alone what I’ve got my web guy doing!)
So here’s what I need from you: What do you like about the page? What does it need? Hopefully you aren’t too hard on me, as this is my first real venture into web development. I know that there are a few links that don’t match up, and I also need to get more of my pics and testimonials back to “lighten” up the pages a bit.
If you’d like, feel free to post your thoughts here. Again, try not to be too harsh! My web guy and myself have put 100’s of hours into getting the page to this point, and hopefully it won’t be too much longer until it’s fully operational!
I like the layout, but I think the font with “Robertson Training Systems” should be bigger, and for some reason I think the barbell at the top looks a little cheesy.
Page looks and works great. I’m an artist who does web/print design, and I think it’s clean, functional, and attractive.
Compliments to your web guy, get him to link the holy hell out of it. Hopefully somewhere on the first page all the relevant search terms should be hidden, so that when Google spiders the site it’ll show up high in the rankings.
I’ve bookmarked it, and I’ll next read all the articles (I’ve already read the ones here on T-shizzle).
I really like the content. I am not a design guy but I think it would look better with some menues or something on the side. Also, I crashed when trying to access the article precistion pulling.
First thing I noticed when I got to the first page is that I didn’t really know what to do. I think a good idea would be to have a paragraph or two right off the bat telling about yourself (how great you are) and what’s in it for the reader if he sticks around. Then tell him where to go to learn more (buy stuff) and that he must sign up for your FREE newsletter.
Under the picture of you squatting put a caption saying it’s you. Chances are the reader won’t make the connection.
Like I said before, this is my “Alpha” version, so I’m not quite done w/ the layout and such yet. I’ll get with my web guy and do some more work next week.
With regards to the articles, I’m having some issues linking the articles directly to T-Nation. I want everyone who hits my site to see how great T-Nation is, and a big part of the articles is the discussion afterwards. However, when I fix the ID tag I still have issues when I actually upload it to the web. This is something I’m working on so be patient while I get it figured out!

The first price is if you just want a single training session; the other is if you want multiple sessions. All personal training/SPT goes through Custom Athletics (my employer here in Indy), so these are their prices that I’ve listed for clarity.
I will make it a point to explain this, though. Thanks!

I agree, but to the important stuff.
On your services page the last two services “Sports Performance” and “Personal Training” have two prices: “$$$/Hourly”, “$$/Hour Package”
I am not sure about the difference?
I seem to be unable to find where you explain a “package.”[/quote]
