Homepage content

There are 6 major elements on the homepage. Here they are!

Element #1
Title: Live Appearances and Corporate Events
Image:  either one from 'headshots for aaronfishermagic.com' folder on photo page, or none at all. A good photo from this folder should appear somewhere on the page.
Importance: TOP Importance - Visitors looking to hire me for a show should see this before they get bogged down in mailing lists, blogs and products - but it should not by the BIGGEST element. Just the most prominent. It should draw the eye immediately.
Text:  "LIVE APPEARANCES - Special Event entertainment  and Close-Up Card  Conjuring."
 
Element #2
Title: Mailing List
Image: Any "Misc. Image" or none at all. Your choice.
Importance: Just below #1 - See the approach to this used by Seth Godin at http://www.sethgodin.com. It makes the sign up box hard to miss -  It would be nice to have the form right there on the index page.

Mastering the core concepts of tension, focus and design will help you grow as both a technician and as an entertainer. That's what this book is for.

Element #4
Title: Blog
Image: Any "Misc. Image" or none at all. Your choice.
Importance: Just under elements 1 and 2. This is the most creative avenue in the site - regardless of size, it should strike the reader as a place to go for fun and adventure.
