    The first thing i would say it to pay attention towards the size and type of fonts you are using for your post. you have used different types of fonts for your post, that is looking awkward and seems that you don't care much about it.

    I agree entirely with the previous poster. The site looks like an out of the box site put together with little care. It does not inspire much confidence, specially for a finance site.

    What makes matters worse is that it is a fixed layout.

    Close to the bottom of the rating scale, I am afraid.

    The consolation is that there are HUGE opportunities to improve on it.

    Enjoy

    Thanks guys, have taken into consideration what you said about the font.

    Also, are you suggesting that I get someone to custom make a template for me?

    I wouldn't go that far unless you have clear idea of how you will generate income. There are lots of nice template that you can use

    Yeah, that's what I thought also. I'd rather start off with this simple template, see if I can make some sort of income. If all goes well, I would eventually get a custom template.

    It's kind of plain tbh. And there's a lot of advertisements, too much IMO.

    But I think you have a great idea going.

    The logo and title is too small compare with other text in that page, try to increase the size.

    The ads are well placed and other than you need a better template.The fonts are the great drawback for the entire site.Thanks.

    Looks like a good start. My comments:

    - Header logo and text are way too small.
    - Top level Google ad is too big heightwise, it's eating up real estate
    - The light grey fonts are difficult to read at times...makes the content choppy.
    - Maybe spread out the google ads, they really jump out too much.

    I increased the size of the text. How does that look?

    And also, do you know how to change the font color? Wordpress is really confusing!
