    Please review my site.

    Hello and thanks for taking your time to look over my site.  I have been working on this site off-and-on and I am in need of a fresh pair of eyes and a different prespective.  I included a free gift that is unrelated to my subject matter because I get spill-over traffick from people doing a google search for the name of the people or organizations that I used for my customer testimonials.  Because that part of my traffick discovered my site while really looking for someone else I thought that I would make an eBook available for them to download free. Maybe the free offer will help to convert them to people searching for my site instead of people stumbling across it.  But at this point I'm going to take them any way that they come. 

    Anyways, thanks for the look

    Hi D'Mack,

    Design-wise, your site looks fine. My problem is that your Home page messaging leaves me pretty confused.  You appear to offer this odd mix of services:

    1. Computer tutoring

    2. Consulting on how to start a small business selling re-packaged public domain works

    3. Consulting on how to start a small business by buying factory direct or becoming an independent dealer

    4. You do something with micro-businesses (but you don't really define "micro-business" or say what service you offer related to micro-businesses).

    If your primary business is small business set up and consulting services, I would use another business name, domain name, and Web site for this other than D'Mack Computer Tutor.  D'Mack Computer Tutor does not say "small business consultant" to me. (You might consider positioning your computer services as a component of your small business consulting operation.)

    Then on the Home page for your consulting business, briefly introduce the types of small business consulting you specialize in. Create a separate page for each and specifically outline the services you offer for each. Right now you have an overwhelming amount of text on your Home page because you try to offer a detailed explanation of all your various services there.

    I would also add an About Us page so potential customers can learn something about your qualifications as a small business consultant.

    Good luck.

    I just love it when people offer a service and then switch it around and offer a "business opportunity" ... it makes me laugh ...

    Can anyone say, scheme?  swindle?  used?

    Hey here's a tip ... people aren't stupid ...

    so stop acting like one ...

    I did a quick check of your site.   I like the design elements and found the site easy to read.  It flows good.  I did though find the music on the first video to be annoying.  The constant beat started to draw my attention away from the video content.  After all this, would I do business with you?  No.  You left out a very important thing -- your business existence.  Where are you?  Who are you?  Are you a reputable company?  What country are you in?  Are you listed with the BBB or the Chamber of Commerce?  Etc., etc., etc.  Identity in this day and age is very important, and creditable, for a business.  Sorry.
