Maybe the best word I can find to describe your website. It looks clean, essential and extremely bright.
I read you are a SEO and marketing expert, so I believe it would be easy for you optimizing your content according to the potential client (I bookmarked your site; I could ask you for advice, one day )

"Feeling classic": I don't understand this.
"Interest in", not "on".
