Psychology Website Looking to Clinical. Any suggestions to make it feel more welcoming?
A few other observations. The testimonial section doesn't have the nifty bar and what it is like the other two sections. Also, I didn't realise the testimonial carousel was a carousel at first, maybe because the arrow is only on the left?
Jumping back up to the About section. That image is the only non-dotted line image, though the quote and clipart along with the picture creates a busy feeling already. Lots is going on in here. Is it important to have both the clipart and the photo?
Lastly, the star in Step 3 could be swapped for the leaf or paper airplane in a fun way to reuse existing imagery.

In terms of usability, the calls to action are at the top and bottom only. Would it be possible to move the 'how to get started' call to action section above the 'licensed and trusted by' section?

The two column appearance throughout might also be giving that clinical vibe. Is it possible to use a three column structure but use two columns for the text, one for the image?

Psychology Website Looking to Clinical. Any suggestions to make it feel more welcoming?
Overall, it looks nice. I also get a bit of a clinical vibe though.
Currently, your range of colours are grouped up. The hero section and navigation blend together, and there isn't a 'break' between the three topic areas. What about shifting the colours around and using them to help the user understand what goes together? Related, I wondered if the squiggle right above the footer, or perhaps the leaf, could be used to help create breaks somehow? Something like taking the leaf in About, moving it between the sections and centering it?

review on design
Looking at your mockup, I appreciate the space between elements. The fonts feel consistent too. However, I keep looking around to try to find where to focus. Guide me to a focal point and then lead me to the next important elements. The buttons are quite visible, but three go to the same thing. Using the green in the priority elements and as an accent could help lead me to where you want me to go and help settle my focus.

need Test users for my final assignment of a short course, please.
Which web browser and OS?
Edge, PC, desktop full screen
What do you think is the website's objective?
Scheduling a pet model. Pulling one of the first two sentences in About onto the front page in front of the pup would boost my understanding.
What aspects of the website appealed to you?
General structure is great. Pages make sense. Error messages in the booking page were polite and waited for me to make an error.
What aspects of the website didn't appeal to you?
The elements are close together. Spacing the boxes would help me not feel rushed. Increasing space between boxes and paragraphs, adding line breaks, and generally making it easier to read would be great.
Are there any problems with functionality?
Everything seemed to work well, though the menu for the models shows up off the main column of the page instead of as a secondary menu right under Models.
What do you think could be improved ?
* On all pages, create more space between elements and paragraphs, make the fonts larger, add more padding between the edges of the text and the boxes (like in Pet Media Product), and add more line breaks. It will make it longer but it will also be easier to read.
* The Strong Impression font is used only once and feels different from the rest of the site. Perhaps switch it to a logo-esque font and use that for the 'Features. Pet Models' too??
* Switching the buttons on the bottom of the pages to a different colour (like the teal/green) would signal that they are links and draw the eye to them, freeing up the space in the middle of the home page for that About text - if you wanted to add that.
* Contact is actually the Booking page, so maybe change that text?
* The Home item in the menu is missing on Obie's page (who is an adorable cat).
* The key aspects has a 'back to form' link but it is on the same page.
* There was no confirmation that the submission had gone through. Idea: a thanks page with the key aspects listed again.

Good job!!

Good job! I'm viewing from a service design perspective rather than the coding side, and it's always easier to create prototypes than make the code do the thing. 🙃
Most of my suggestions are to related to readability and content, and these would typically be given to you for you to implement. Hopefully this is helpful as you complete your assignment.
