Client Email #1

Hey, quick questions: I was hoping the button tabs on the site could look a little more hopeful. Just something with a little more pop. I'm not a designer so I don't know how to say it, but I know you guys can figure something out!

Thanks!

What would you do and/or say in response to the client #1's email?

Client Email #1

I'm really excited about our new site, but I'm just wondering if it's possible to have photos and videos everywhere on the site or if that's something I need to pay extra for?? Either way I'm excited, but I just wasn't quite sure.

Thanks buddy!
