hiya ladies,
I may run the risk of sounding a bit thick here but i need to know this..
I am very new to beauty , just turned the big 40, youngest about to start school and for the first time ever doing something for me ( and just LOVING it ) ive recently qualified in my manual and spray tanning and am doing my waxing at the moment. Then will do my intimate waxing soon Ive just finished my web site which i will give the link too for any feedback but i keep seeing that its good to have your own Logo.. Can you please explain why? Does this Logo need to go on B. cards, leaflets etc? This is where im confused as i ordered cards from vistaprint with like an orchid design on, but then how would my logo go on too..? Or would my logo become the entire card/leaflet design?
I realise this must sound SUCH a stupid question but sometimes its these ones we are too embarrassed to ask

My web site is www.simplybeautiful.uk.com i have an icon saying "why Sienna X" at the top that im about to take off as im now going to offer a second product solution also ..
Very nervous to ask your opinions but i guess its time... Thanku

Hey u dont have to have your own logo, but it looks nice and more professional if u do, my logo is on everything website,b cards, price lists, signs, salon mugs the lot! its just branding yourself! x

Hi Jo, no question is stupid so stop worrying! We are all here to help & share information as and when we can.
Think of your logo as your very own brand, it will be how your clients recognise you. My logo is on everything, price lists, website, loyalty cards etc. If you're using one from Vistaprint remember it wont be exclusively yours and unique to your company, it is more than likely someone else will be using it too.
I personally think it's better to have your own logo and once you've got it you can go on to market your business in the same format as opposed to being limited to what Vistaprint has to offer.
If you're thinking about having one designed I'd highly recommend Carl @ Verve (Extensionize on here), VERY reasonable, VERY professional & the best bit.....once it's done it is ALL yours & NO-ONE will have the same one!


Wishing you lots of luck with your new venture!

HTH's x

nothing to add as it's all been covered on the link given but i just had to say...

good on you for doing something for yourself!! i truly wish you all the success in the world! x

my goodness i wasnt expecting such lovely replies... Thankyou so much x
Out of interest did you peep at my site? any feedback very welcome xx
Ps i will def contact Carl, great idea as i FINALLY get it lol!

I looked at your website and its very clear and concise.

I don't like the music coming on, but that's just something that really irritates me and you do have an off button!

And I don't like the way the page fades - it makes my eyes go weird.

Otherwise very nice

I agree with above, I cant comment on the music as I have my sound turned off until I want it, but the fading really hurts my eyes too.
Otherwise a lovely site.
What do you use as your body exfoliant-if you dont mind me asking?

Hiya
Thanks for comments, im actually just in the process of finding a new one .. Im not having to super rush with this as my sites just gone live and being a busy mummy ive not done lots of promoting either. my thoughts are as soon as my daughter starts school in Sept thas it! Ill be ready to go for it! I posted on here last night (on the skin bit) for any recommendations for a product. I had a helpful repy if its any help take a look. Think it was under exfoliation/polishes.. HTH x

Hi Lucy,
i just received your private message but i dont know how to reply, never done this before
Really sweet of you to send that.. let me know if you pick up this thread please so i know youve seen i have tried to reply.. What a nightmare, flamming useless at times !!

i don't like music on websites either. my bf thought it was an 80s beauty website! god knows what 80s music he's been listening to :\

'specials offers' heading doesn't make sense. change 'my treatments' into just 'treatments' or 'treatment menu' etc etc.

i don't like the grey back ground box things that have the writing in. just have your writing on a plain background, not in a different coloured box.

the green that comes up when you click on headings is just a horrible yucky colour that doesn't seem to fit in? the fading backgrounds i'd consider changing too.

march/april offer needs to be updated because we aren't in march. keep your website up to date so clients know you're still available. nothing worse than seeing a website that doesn't get updated and wondering if you should phone up and ask if the person/business is still alive or not.

have another look over your punctuation as there are lots of '...' going on that just don't need to be there.

the 'faq' page literally had me squinting at the screen, i don't know if it's my colours or what but it just wasn't clear at all.

i couldn't see your working/opening hours, if they are on the website and i missed them then is a potential client going to miss them too?

it's nice to know who will be giving you your treatment so maybe consider a picture and an 'about me' type page.

mention your insurance too, it just puts that extra bit of confidence in you and your treatments. x

Lucy, god knows what im up to......
On my web site that i put on my post is my mobile.. send me a text when youre free tomorrow.. I know how to reply to those lol x

thanks for your feedback, ill have a real good look to see the things you mean..

Seconded both these comments, but can I also add, your menu/titles at the of the page are slighty too small and a little hard to read as they tend to blend into the background a little.

Is this a Free website, as I see you have an unusual domain ending in .uk.com, or did you purchase the name yourself?

You can purchase .uk.com domains now, It's a new thing
