Smile Website Got A Facelift

I have been working on facelifting my website for days.. I wanted to create a 100% custom theme in wordpress that would suite my needs. It's not perfect by any means but does the job close to my expectations. The tweaking and all will go on. The reason for the revamp was basically my old site I did not code it properly to show up in search results. I thought I had the SEO done fine, but well, let's hope the new site does better.

Plus, I think it looks much better now..

Comments are always welcome..

I am not a pro, but I think some of the wording on your site can be improved. For example, in your About section you wrote:

"I enjoy working with people and interacting with them to bring out their colorful personalities." I would suggest: "I enjoy working with people and look forward to interacting with you to bring out the best of your personality."

Further down, you wrote, "When I am working with my clients, my people skills and thinking-on-the-fly attitude, drive out the real needs of my clients..." I would suggest something like "When I work with you, I'll use my people skills and creativity to help decide on the most flattering poses for you..."

Other - one of the images in your slideshow thumbnails is repeated. It's the B&W one of the woman with her left hand on her right shoulder. If you are going to advertise yourself as a pet photographer also, you should have some good examples. Finally, I don't know about that 100% guarantee. Once again, I am not a pro, but I don't recall any of the pros on this site recommending something like that because customers will try to take advantage of that by scanning prints and returning them or will pull some other sleazy tricks. My 2 cents...

Hopefully, some of the real pros will chime in.

Good luck.

There's a few images placeholders I'm seeing - currently using Chrome browser.
