    Hope you could review my site guys. I've exhausted the no. of ads allowed in a page but I feel I overdid it. Here are links to the pages:

    1. home page
    2. article page

    What can I do to improve it? Your inputs are much appreciated. :) Thanks in advance!

    I love both of them, you did a great job, you may only use another font style in the headers. The rest is fine.

    I would rework the color scheme, make the header photo more saturated and replace the pale yellow with red instead.

    @Michelangelo
    Thanks dude!

    @8everything
    Thanks for the inputs. Will consider them when I do a facelift of the layout and the color scheme.

    I guess the ads placement is ok then (?).

    Ad placement looks great in that position :) you might want to play around with different sizes (using the same format) and see how your CTR goes. Good luck!

    i think your should brighten up either the text, as because of the dark background, it makes u lean closer to the screen to read, or lighten the background up dramatically. i think the image needs to have something done with it, it doesnt suit it at the moment with these colors

    Thanks for the inputs, mitcharr.

    Actually, I did tried brightening the text a bit before I settled with this one. The bright text appeared blinding especially in contrast with a black background so I decided to dim it a bit. Regarding the picture... The same case with the text. The original copy of the pic has more contrast so I dimmed it as well. I'll see what I can do.

    Great job but the picture looks a bit unsharp. Did you resize it ?

    Design looks good, as well as ads.

    However, the header could use a more vivid gundam pic,

    As for content, good job, those google sketch how to's are interesting. You wrote them yourself, or reprinted them with permission?

    Thanks for the feedback. Seems I really need to improve on the header pic. :(

    About the Google SketchUp articles... Yes, I did it myself. :eek:
