Gave the site a small gloss-job, still basic. Must get some original photography done at some point :

Used the Divi theme and builder, from elegant themes. Very good for rapid prototypes and plays well with WP plugins.

Nice and simple. I would consider using maybe a tad better images. Very stock.

gm66

Yes would like to get some originals done.

Do you know of a place that sells less stocky looking ones ?

I came across this site fairly recently - https://www.pexels.com/

For a free stock images site it has much better quality images than the other free repositories. Some are pretty decent. If you rummage around there you might find some images that would work for you.

love the logo :)

Can you tell if it converts better than the old one?

Ye couldn't resist the logo :)

I don't do detailed analytics on my site so i don't know about the conversions.

I'd be curious to see how the site looks without justified word spacing.

>>justified

Easily done. Just right click, inspect and uncheck the text-align:justify in .et_pb_text_align_justified

Which makes me think it would look much cleaner to me with a line height in the 1.3 range (currently you're at 23.8px for a 20px line, or about 1.19x line height. If you bump that to 1.3 I think you get a nicer look. That would be 26px, but it all depends on how you're stipulating your units).

This might show it better - side by side

Those mods look good to me.

I sized the text based on how it looks with default settings in all browsers.

Since C(ia)hrome is so popular these days i had to take that into account also, and it's default text size is very, very small.


Thanks,

Gary.

>>I sized the text

Littleman's comments and mine have nothing to do with the font size.

They have to do with line height and justification.
