Please review this site for Personal Training - Fitness For You - personal training by Janine Whitlock -

I'm persevering with generating all the content from xml / rss but that makes for some limitations. Are the limitations obvious?

Janine is a top UK athlete. Is this something that should be played down or played up? I'm thinking that some people might not like the idea of truly competitive training sessions. I've tried to make the wording of comfort to those sort of prospective customers. Have I overdone it - or not?

Get rid of the frames!

This image http://www.personal-trainer-woking.c...h_champion.gif is horrible.

Learn about JPEGs and GIFs and when to use each.

There are no frames.

Also I do know when to use jpegs and gifs but I had no choice but to find the particular pic you're refering to on the web. It just happens to be a gif. I'm sure it must exist somewhere as a jpeg so I'm still searching.

why are you going that route with xml etc? seems unnecessarily complicated for a personal traing site? with regards to the site content my personal opinion is that Janine's sports history would probably intimidate about 75% of the potential customers she is targeting.

if she wants to try to focus on the high end, athletes etc then its ok, otherwise i would downplay that, combine about me & profile into one page.

but to be honest and without meaning to offend, my main concern is the look and feel of the site. it looks like a 90's site to me. why dont you get a nice xhtml css template or go wordpress and make something more late naughties than late 90's?

if i were building my own personal training site again (am not inexperienced in this area ) I would def go the wordpress route next time.

content-wise I think you need to work harder at moving it away from all the same old listing the benefits etc and make it more personal.

most PT sites all trot out the same old stuff and its pretty dull to customers I think. esp in London as there is a LOT of competition there now in that field.

A persons name in the title, personal training.

The site needs a photo of that person on the homepage. Promoting a vis a vis service needs to allow the potential customer to put a face to the name immediately.

Ah - you mean THOSE frames. Thats because the real url of the site is Personal Training Woking by fitness trainer Janine Whitlock

The customer didn't like that name - she wanted some sort of variation on "fitness for you" but I think google will pick up on the keywords in "personal trainer woking". So I'm doing a frames re-direct from the name the customer wants. Trying to have my cake and eat it.

I changed a few things technically. Its xhtml now (I'm a validation freak so I hope its fully valid on all pages).

Somebody complained that there was no photo. But there was nothing but photos.

The real site is www.personal-trainer.woking.co.uk not the "fitness for you" url which is just there to keep the customer happy. The keywords for the site (at least in my mind) are "personal trainer woking" so the fact that the business is called "fitness for you" means nothing - particularly as this is just a name not a limited company name or anything thats officially registered.

Controversial - did anyone look up the web to check who "Janine Whitlock" is? If so were you shocked by the information given?

...If so do you think she should put her viewpoint on the web? Or do you think she should let sleeping dogs lie now that she is moving on to new things?
