    welcome review, some topics in my new site may be useful to u

    http://www.it-consumer-critique.com/

    perhaps the design seems somewhat simple? but I enjoy concise I write all articles in the site.

    welcome review

    Hi Alva,

    A couple of changes I would suggest:
    - there are quite a few grammatical issues with the site and I think it could do with being checked in MS Word
    - it would be better to use a menu/article list rather than opening a new window for each article

    Overall it's pretty bland.

    The links to you articles i believe should open in the current window rather than a new one. And there's no scroll bars! I can't even read you articles. You definitely need to fix that.

    Also i would recommend some kind of bar of colour or something on the left side of you content to separate it from the background. You header definitely needs more pizzazz also.

    So maybe to simple for my liking but good luck with the site.

    Thanks very much, I'll do some change.

    and I always think that if only readers know what u say then the grammatical aspect is inessential and the pick of words is more important

    about scroll bar - it's my low-grade negligence, some "css" wrong.

    Thanks very much for your detailed review

    layout is nice.

    design is rather plain as Ryzee stated.

    mixing fonts like that makes it look unprofessional, actually like this was a rough sketch and you hadn't decided what font you wanted to use yet.

    the georgia/time headlines with verdana as body copy works well but do that overall, not serif fonts on one side and sans fonts on the other.

    Thanks very much

    I'll change the fonts' arrangement, it's very important

    I'm having a hard time getting to grips with what this site is about? The text judt doesn't read right, it reads like it's been poorly translated from another language ?

    Yeah, the gramar is very very difficult to try and follow, I even knew exactly what it was saying and couldn't follow it. As for the going to the other pages, you don't really make a good way back to the front, I'm probably being old fashioned here, but I like having a menu that allows me an out option, so if I want to go back to the front page I have a home button, not a scroll of the front page at the bottom of the page I went to. So maybe a side bar menu or top and bottom bar menu of some type? That's just me though

    Thanks I'll add a "back index" link to the end of all articles
