Default I have a new site for your review

Hey friends,
Several years ago, I built www.shilloh.com for my wife's personal chef business. I had it pleasantly reviewed here a few months ago. Now,
we are moving to San Diego in early 2007, I've built www.lajollachefs.com in advance to get traffic and to see if we get some business. Please review the new one and tell me what you think I should do. Someone told me my links are titled too long. Any ideas?
Thanks

I didn't know there was 2 kinds of kosher...it's kosher or it's not no?

Anyway...I would make all the pictures open in a pop-up, and the picture of the blond woman with the cup doesn't really make any sense.

I was hoping for SEO input.

"Namaste" is in the vocabulary of people who care what they eat and what they put in their bodies. It is probably not common in the macaroni and cheese crowd.

And, There are different levels of kosher, regular and special holiday.

Thanks for the picture idea.

two things:

the layout looks nice but learn to resize your images. they look distorted and when i viewed them outside of the document, they were restored to their natural size. don't resize them in the HTML, do it in a graphics program.

yes the page names are entirely too long. all of that la_jolla_chef_healthy_eating.htm isn't necessary. that could easily be condensed to read eating.html

Thanks Chris, I took your advice and made the address shorter. I will have to scale down all those pictures.

As my hero Homer would say: "Mmmm, macaroni and cheese."

For the first site, the background makes the text a little harder to read for old man like me with not so good eyesight. I like the food on the photo for About Chef Vanda. And the second site design is well done.

I like the style...black on white always appeal to the adult crowd. The transition of light-lime green to light brown doesn't seem to make sense in the color scheme, though.

Sounds like you were interested in content criticism...so, here it is...

While a comp-sci major in college, I also attempted to minor in English (nice blend, don't you think?). One of my worst pet peeves on the internet is the lack of proper grammar developers use. If I see grammar issues, I immmediately 'X' out.

To save you from potential English-anal people like myself, I found two issues on your "Testimonials" page.

1) "Your going to love my services, so I've saved this spot is reserved for your next testimonial."

You not only used the incorrect version of "you are", but this section contains a run-on sentence. It also appears you began using "saved" but switched to "reserved". Change this to:

"You're going to love my services. I've reserved this spot for your future testimonial."

2) "I will bring to San Diego the kind of personal chef service I have brought my clients in New York since 1998. By trying to create each meal as the best meal you have ever tasted. My new clients in La Jolla, Del Mar and all of the Southern California will enjoy healthy meals without compromising taste."

I'm not sure what you were trying to convey with the middle sentence. Maybe you meant to place a comma (,) after "1998" instead of a period. I would drop "the" before "Southern California".

Besides the above, you have good content...I'm not aware of search engines which grade on "proper" grammar...

I've also looked at two pages from your first site. Please email me if you're interested in my English-anal suggestions...I don't want to change this forum topic.

Outstanding input.
I am also a little bent about grammar. I can't believe those slipped through. And then they are on almost every page. Thanks getmea
