Financial news site

    Finance Markets is a UK-based personal finance news site:
    http://www.financemarkets.co.uk/

    However, I'm currently looking at the site and wondering whether the red header section looks too over-powering?

    I'm tempted to move to a white header, but having played around with this, am concerned that the site may look too plain.

    Looking for some constructive feedback. :)

    It looks great. Very professional. I would leave it that way.

    It looks fine as it is, it's not a very bright red so it wouldn't be bothersome.

    Overall design is clean, and the page loads fast for me.

    I like the design :) It's very clean and professional. All of the content is very organized . My one suggestion would be.. to change your adsense ad links to maroon for better blending.

    no need to move your header to white, you have already to much in pages.

    Thanks for the comments, all - okay, I'll take that as a hint not to move to a white header. :)

    Feedback was very much appreciated - green rep all round for taking the time to give it. :)

    A very clean and professional design. I think it would look waaayyy to plain if you took away the red header. Very nice color scheme and easy to read...

    your site looks really good, and I don't think that red header section looks bad, let it be as it is

    Great looking site Brian and I agree with the preceding comments.

    A slight problem I found viewing it on a 19" screen was that the box with the ad in it - upper right - widens to full screen while the rest of the content stays at 1024. (Observed in Firefox and IE7.)
