It looks fine to me. The only thing I would comment would be the plural of hello which is actually hellos:

No need to add an apostrophe when it isn't possessive (genitive).

Good luck with the website!

When i told my friend this he replied, The original line had hello's in it. The corrected version has 'hello's in it. Hello's (the original) means, as I said, of hello, or hello is. 'Hello's means more than one 'hello'. You could also just put hellos for more than one hello, but it just looks strange. now he has lost me
