Need Feedback and Advice on Live Client Site
This is a website I coded for my personal trainer as a favor to her and practice for myself. The entire website is currently just HTML, CSS, and Vanilla JS but will shortly be updated to React and Typescript, mostly as practice for myself but also to transition the site to a SPA. A SPA is certainly overkill for this but again the practice is needed for myself and this feels like a good site to implement that functionality. I am by no means a designer, I am far more developer focused and that is where I put a majority of my effort. Since this website has been live I have not been very happy with the overall design of it and feel like it could have a more updated and cohesive look to the whole site. I know about the glaring issue on the about page that the hero image is larger than the hero images on any of the other subpages, and for the about section on the home page there is a fixed image there that appears when you scroll past it, it's not just a black box. Any critiques and advice would be extremely welcomed as designing this website is certainly out of my element! Attached are an overall screenshot of each page as well as a few images showing the form interaction, not linking the site right now as this is a live site and any form submissions would be sent directly to my client.

that contact form is what drives people insane
it doesnt have any labels, uses the placeholder as an horrible replacement that disappears once you type anything, the error message is nowhere near the input, the unfilled form had pretty low contrast
in fact, the "lets get started" form is a little worsr
the footer is pretty much just thrown there, instead of being a distinct (darker) section
"stephanie's work" needs some work, as it is very sparse, making it an horrible slog to navigate
in the "services", the text is very dense
i can see it being really hard to read
Thanks for the feedback! This is what I desperately need, going to do some pretty heavy form revision and go through as many references as I can find to figure out the direction I want to go in. Had to come up with all of the content for the site so I very much struggled with knowing what content she even wanted on the site. Totally agree on the carousel for "Stephanie's Work" and totally agree on the density of the text for the "Services" page.
you're welcome
im curious about what you will come up with
