    Okay, here is my honest review. The top of the website, where it says: Freeware downloads HQ dot com your home for over 5,000+ freeware downloads - free to download here @ Freeware downloads HQ dot com, that
    doesn't look good. You should put a banner there, maybe, or make the Freeware downloads HQ dot com, something that 'scrolls by'. That's the best way I can describe it. Also center the page titles. Certified Genuine Freeware is off. The bottom of the website(copyright, etc.) the whole thing should be centered. There's too much space on the left. After you fix all that, it'll be great. I checked all the pages and they look good. I also love that you didn't put too many ads on your pages. The way you did it was perfect.

    You website definitely needs some work. Logo redesign as well as navigation bar changes are a must. Hard to see what is where.

    To start with, I honestly didn't like the header very much, it's to bright, moreover, I can even see the difference in red shades between the logo block and the whole header.

    The design of the site looks a bit primitive, you should defnitely upgrade it, with the categories being, perhaps, placed in a more convenient and stylish way.

    First thoughts - 1995
    Second thoughts, the site is design exactly how most parked pages are.. I mean it looks clean and everything but not so much a site that you can trust to not get viruses from. Site does load quickly which is excellent.

    Yes, to my mind, this can actually save your own time and efforts, you've got too much work to do with the site

    Looks ok. A bit retro.

    You may want to have a list of your top 10 downloads up top. Also consider adding category and subcategory totals for the listed amount of software.

    Yeah now I got there. I think a download website should have a dark colour. Just my opinion

    I guess that a download website should be dark, if it contains cracks)) though, it actually depends on your personal taste

    The new header looks better, than plain red background, I'd still recommend to draw a better logo, and restructurise the index page

    Can anyone tell me that is it necessary to get copyright permission from a developer to list his program on my website. If this permission is not necessary then what does Google's policy say about this means google sdsense will work on my site and my adsense account wont get banned.

    The overall impression I get is that it looks quite 'messy' and not easy to find the information you're looking for within a few sec. Maybe a real light grey background and only keep the containers white with the downloads?

    As far as I'm concerned, you need to confirm the placement with the developer before listing the product.
