Hi,I used to talk to people on this forum a lot since I was 15-19. Since then I delved deep into vedic and egyptian astrology, also medieval. I also learned chaldean numerology. I did readings for my family and friends and they recommended me to turn my passion into business. So I just launched my website! After hard work into building it.It's astro-spica.com I am not here to advertise, but I need your opinion on it and what else I could do to improve it, make it more interesting. I plan to add more pages and numerology too. And in return I will offer you a short numerology reading. For that I need your full name and dob. If you don't want to post your name, I will do a birth number reading only but it won't be as accurate. IP: Logged |

Hi Spica! I love the layout & the graphics. It is esthetically pleasing, organized & easy to navigate. I think the simple & basic explanations of the planets, houses & number meanings are a good idea since you are advertising readings most of your clientele likely doesn't have very much experience with astrology so it is not intimidating or overwhelming. & any clients with some understanding of astrology probably know something about the basics so they are probably not there for that. I would like to make a suggestion though. I would put more heart into how you are advertising your readings. Like in your descriptions. It doesn't really pull you in. Its way to vague and you it doesn't make you seem as confident or experienced as it should and you don't really give people any idea what to expect. Astrology is already a subject most people don't take seriously and are often hesitant spending their money on something they are unsure about as it is. You gotta make them certain. Pull them in. Like in your natal reading you say this will tell them about their core & life. Its like umm okay? Wtf does that mean? They'll lose interest and mosey along. Give examples, go into depth. You know, like it can reveal your purpose, explain why you have certain problems what s holding you back, relationship you tend to attract..you get the idea...just elaborate. Break down what all you include, what they can expect from the reading. Tell them each report is custom to every individual. Use a relatable language like don't be tossing in terms that would be confusing unless you are familiar with astrology. Something any ol person could grasp. You know women (mostly) are gonna be coming to you looking to see if "(s)he's the one, if they're being cheated on. Relationship potentional...you get the idea. Let them know that astrology is able to do more than they could possibly imagine. Like they might see an example & be like "oh snap! Its able to tell me that?!" Sold! At the end of the day $38 isn't that much money & people will spend that in a heartbeat if your offering answers and guidance to things they would gladly pay much more for since ultimately all any of them are looking for is peace of mind. There are lots of astrologers out there charging way more than that for the same thing as you. You impress people they are going to tell their friends and so on. Don't be selling yourself short. This is a reflection of you. A pretty website is only gonna get you part of the way. Once you pull em in then you gotta seal the deal! On a somewhat related note, I have the same ambition to start a website to sell my readings but I always have trouble verbally expressing myself like I am so critical. I've bought a web domain but thats about it lol. I've thought about selling them on easy, shopenvy and similar websites while I'm starting. You could do that in addition to the website to reach more people. You can just type in astrology readings in the search bar and bam! Theres a selection to choose from. Just outsell the competition:P Perhaps when I start my website you can give me a little advice or help, I dont know the 1st thing about building one or where to even start lol. ------------------ 《 《 《 I AM 》 》 》 || || || •EXISTENCE•IS•PAIN• || || || <======= WALKING CONTRADICTION =======> http://imgur.com/a/LTu1xEz 23 Enigma IP: Logged |

Hi Veronica, Thank you so much! I completely agree with you, You said what I also felt. But you could explain better because a person judging from outside is able to tell better about how the website comes across. I will make it more in depth and tell what the readings will reveal exactly. I posted short and basic explanations of the planets but I will try to add more info that others might not know about. I know about some vedic knowledge of astrology that is not easy to find on the internet. It could draw more ppl. Also, you should pursue your passion for sure! I made my website on wix.com, and it's fun building your website there if you know your goal in mind. I only have experience of building a website on wix.com. And it's free with ads, but it won't show up in search results on google. If you want it to show up on google, the average price when on promotion is like around 150$ for 2 year. So it might be a bit pricy if you just starting with no clients. It's the case for me. I don't have a clientele yet and trying to advertise. But since it's my passion I will keep trying. ------------------ AstroSpica IP: Logged |

Hello Hello Spica!! CongratulationsI poked around your website a bit. Interesting features. Drew up my chart, and your calculator found a grand square I didn't realize was there. ty What I would have wanted-- Darker Printing * Font you chose is too faint to read. (Made me have to try 'hard' to attempt to see/read it.) Your Logo Name needs to be darker The headers The drop box choices. In Numerology section (single) Number is good, but font for description is too faint to read properly. Good Job! IP: Logged |

Hi Spica. Never met you before now but I must say I like your site. It's not overstated and the buttons very much navigate. A splash of another color might bring more enthusiasm? It's your call - you're the Empress with your creation. All the best to you with this endeavor. 💖 IP: Logged |

Thanks moon I try to keep it minimalistic. You are right but I am bad at mixing colours. I might consider adding a background maybe... ------------------ AstroSpica IP: Logged |

@Spica IK! Finding the best way to say what you are trying to say is more difficult than it seems. Ill get hung up on a sentence for way longer than anybody should. Then I will go back & read everything & spend another 732785 hours re wording, re re wording & so on.
Ah much better! I especially like your Horary description. (And light bulb head @ the bottom!)
You forgot some words in the synastry page though. Then there is a break in the middle of the sentence after "who is more" then there is an indentation(i think I'm using that word right) like you are beginning a new paragraph. Here is what you got right now: "It will both what makes you get along and what doesn't, who is the more
dominant one, and how special your relationship is on the karmic level." Same with the horary page, you started a new paragraph in the middle of a sentence too. But other than that it looks awesome! Thanks for the encouragement, it really means alot to me
I already purchased a domain name but gotta go figure what source I got it from as it was an impulse purchase over a month ago. I completely forgot I bought it until they took money outta my account a few weeks ago. I was like WTF!? Oh..right.. I'm thinking I'm gonna cancel that and get a different one though, I dont like the domain name I went with anymore. So imma look into wix (unless thats where I bought it from in the 1st place Always keeping myself busy somehow...
In the meantime I've just been kinda designing the outline of each reading I plan on doing and brainstorming different methods I can use to advertise. Not one of my top priorities ATM but I've wanted to since I started getting in to astrology & I'm at the point where I feel confident enough to move in that direction. Anyway I wish you much success with your new business. ------------------ 《 《 《 I AM 》 》 》 || || || •EXISTENCE•IS•PAIN• || || || <======= WALKING CONTRADICTION =======> http://imgur.com/a/LTu1xEz 23 Enigma IP: Logged |
