Love the name!

I have a few pointers for your website. The main font you're using for your body text is rather hard to read. It's really important for your paragraph text to be easy to read, especially if older people visit your site. They'll get frustrated or get an eye-sore from reading a difficult font, especially on a dark background. I'd suggest choosing a font like Arial, Helvetica, etc for your body text.

Some of your tabs could use more descriptive titles. I'm not sure what "Learn Too" is supposed to mean, so I'd change it to something like "Learn More" instead.

I'd also recommend changing "A Few Gigs" to something else. I wouldn't feel comfortable to referring to my customer's special events as "gigs", anywhere outside of this forum. It's a term that should be used among face painters, but not to our clients. I'd just leave it at "Upcoming Events" and "Past Events".

Good luck!

It looks good but the font is impossible. Also agree with changing the term gigs, but the font really is difficult to read.

I agree with what was said above and one more thing... as adorable as the little beauty is on the contact page, her face is dirty in the picture... I don't think it's the best choice of photo for your website.

I like the colour scheme and banner image, but the font needs to be reserved for titles (if even there).

Also... you seem to be missing a "Gallery" page! Show off your work, lady!

I agree that the font is so hard to read, I didn't read far...customers won't either. I'd stick to something normal.

Hi All
Perri the idea with the pic on the contact page was that because she had a dirty moosh she could be the joker as the pic was titled the Joker & Mum, but thats ok, I have removed it if you think people wont get it.

I have changed the font (hope its better?)
There are 13 pics on my main slide show on the home page, should i add more to this or actually make a gallery page?
I have removed the "a Few Gigs" page and condensed it to my "Past Events Page"

Thanks all for your feedback!

The new font is better, but still not easy to read. I'd stick with something very normal like Times New Roman. Your site needs to be easy in every possible way for potential customers or they'll just click on something else that's easier and more user friendly.

I really like your About Me write-up Smile

I made mine more about me and less about the business... I wonder if I should change that Neutral

You need your phone number at the top of your website so the client can call you quickly.
