My Website

[dEHmom]

I posted on the vistaprint thread, but thought i might be better to start a new one.

I am definitely interested in constructive criticism.

This is what I put together after reading the posts last week about the websites. I plan on adding pages of testimonials one day (not yet), as well as a calendar with all the dates on it. Just haven't found the right one yet.
There will definitely be some other pages added to it once I figure out how I want it. I was thinking of sort of a comments page where parents can post things but password protect it so that ONLY parents who are in my care currently can access. Not sure if that's even possible but who knows.

I really like it!! It's way better than mine, I put one together just so I could put a link in an email instead of taking the time to write out a looooong detailed email whenever someone contacts me about care!

[dEHmom]

aww thanks!

I still feel like it is missing something, but haven't figured out what just yet. I'm sure it will change slightly day by day until I get it just right.

I love it! I think it's a nice mix of personal info about your own philosophy and why you do things the way you do and of poems/sayings about children. I really like that. I also like the big sign on the parent handbook page that says, "this is important".

My only feedback would be to maybe include pictures of the room you use most for daycare. Parents like to see that. That being said, I still haven't gotten my preschool room pictures up on my site...it's been on my to-do list for months....

Thanks Kendallina,
unfortunately, I do not have a daycare room/space. My whole house is daycare room , and the parents see that when they come for interview! .

I wish I did have a certain area, where I could show the pictures or it all organized.

Maybe then a pic of the toy areas...or of your living area. I just think it personalizes the website a bit. But, like I said, I think it's a great website even without those pics...

Very nice site. They only thing I can see missing is rates. If I was looking at your site, I would be interested in that.

[dEHmom]

I think I'll try and figure out a way to add some pictures. Most of my toys and stuff are in bins and most are in closets. So not really out in the open. I have some stuff, I'll see what I can figure out. But thanks for the advice!

I think it looks great!! Love how you worded everything and also loved the poems!

Yes and I had that up there!

Unfortunately, right now, I'm debating the rates because certain people I offer lower rates to. So I'm unsure how to do that. But I am thinking of posting them at 125/week, but on my ads I put reply through the website to get a discount, and then I'll tell them maybe 110/week or something.

Edit: added to website!

The large buttons on the contact page, and font on the home page give it a web 2.0 look and feel. There's a trend shifting to large buttons, font, images etc. on websites, it looks good.

This site talks about some of the stuff you're doing - http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009...ming-together/

I really liked your website! I especially loved the Toddler's Creed...an oldie but goodie

I do however have to comment on 2 things in your handbook that I noticed.

1: Under discipline you have stated that the last resort would be to put the child to bed. I don't know about standards in your area but here in TX that is against the law (unless its nap time)

2: I noticed that you don't have a section on meals. Do you provide meals or does the parent?

But like I said I think you did a great job!

[dEHmom]

Thanks!

I thought that one over too. To be honest, I had a lot of help on the handbook from others on here.

I've slowly been altering it, but haven't completely figured out what I want to do.

Thanks for pointing that out, because I meant to change that, but forgot all about it!
