Suggest me ways to improve the site about lawyers

    My newest site, www.eruz.com , I need your suggestions for it.

    It contains the lawyers information, over 900.000 lawyers information in USA with a search form.

    I think, a blog to publish lawyers articles or news can be useful.

    Please review it with your suggestions.

    Thanks.

    The idea is KILLER! I think your text is too dense. Increase the line spacing a bit. (that might give you space for some google ads on the right margin) And the line LENGTH is a bit too long for quick scanning. Add some subheads perhaps to make scanning your text easier.

    The state buttons accross the top need to have more "punch".

    Dang... wish I had thought of this idea. :)

    Wow, lots of content! ;)

    My suggestion is to move the "free web directory" link below the banner (it kind of disrupts it at the moment). Also.. maybe a more professional font for the site name? Times New Roman perhaps?

    I think the content is great at the moment. What needs improvement may be the site design;) But a blog does sound like a good idea, if you have the time to maintain it

    your site looks complicated for me! its hard to read and boring for me! its not clean! on the left side it writes "lawyers in united states" your text is too long its hard to read it! you will put a title for it! its not necessary to show all of them!

    I will add a dictionary about law terms, I think a blog about lawyers will be better on a diffirent domain, do you agree with me ?

    Maybe organizing the lawyers into categories, such as "Drunk Driving Lawyer", "tax lawyer", etc....

    Maybe instead of having the state links create a Goolean search engine that has it to where you can search by using certain keywords. Also increase the spacing. The blog would be a nice touch to the site along with maybe a "ask a lawyer" section or a more detailed FAQ section.

    My suggestions ~

    I reckon you should split the content up more on the homepage. Seems to be too much text on one page.

    Do a slight increase in text size because if I do the resize in the browser it kinda pushes the left links down a little too far.

    Change the list (1-12) to use the <ol><li> tags, it may make it look neater and more tidy.

    Increase line-spacing by a little.

    The left side says "Lawyers in...." for each state (?), why not make it just have it on the heading and then just list the individual states, minus the "Lawyers in...".

    Lawyer jokes. Seriously, why not?

    Q: "What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?"

    A: "A good start."
