    Hi, so after 2 months of immense coding (I have coded it in the free time from all the SEO stuff), let me introduce to MedsAvailable.

    Its more than a year old site but I have changed everything :)

    Few of the things which I am looking for you guys to review is -

    1. How does the site looks ?
    2. How are the colors on the site ? are they alright ?
    3. Anything which you may like to add.

    Thanks alot :)

    It is a bit over whelming when it opens and takes a minute to just figure out what the site is about. I think maybe you tried to fit to much all onto the main page there.

    Agree with Swedal, you tried to fit in too many items, so it takes too much time before you've figured what its all about. The layout and design are good, try to focus on a limited number of items and you should be fine.

    How is the loading time by the way ? I think I will add a Block at the top to tell what the site is about :)

    Firstly, the overall design and appearance is good.

    Likes
    Article structure is good
    Pictures with articles
    Language converter
    Easy to contact
    Polls- good way to interact with visitors
    Pictures is showcase

    Dislikes
    Logo- Although it is acceptable, I believe you can do better.
    Search box- it stands out more than the logo
    Top adsense- box around it does not have a bottom to it
    Footer- too bright

    This is just a brief review however what you choose to implement is completely up to you. It is a great start and I believe you can do even better. Have you considered adding a forum, it can be great to encourage repeat visitors, also a blog can be good for search engines and create a community atmosphere. I would also definitely start a newsletter even if it is just outlining the new content that has been added each month, to get people to signup offer an ebook or something.

    Good luck with your site, it has lots of potential :D

    Hi, thanks alot gameover for your valuable inputs. I need to see about logo and search and what I can do.

    can u tell me which resolution you are looking the site at ? because to me the border for ads look fine but I can imagine it creating problems for other resolution. And well I will surely do something about footer too.

    aaah, I got it. The problem is in some pesky css alignment. It will need few hours to fix it so i thought, lets leave for some lazy saturday :) Thanks for telling though.

    Ok I have put the newsletter as well here, any chances of anyone checking whether they are working or not ? In the past I have seen, none of newsletter delivering mails because of local smtp

    Nice colours, but this web is a little bit chaos and the text contrast in the menu is not enough.

    ya brain, now I am gong to spend next 3 months on site marketing and SEO. :)

    @mantisa - ya, the site do have some contrast problems, The problem is, I can't design so even for small logo's, I have to rely on others. I will try to learn PS in my free time to be able to do all these small things on my own.

    Hi,

    The colors and look on the site are fine. Want kinda turned me off was that there were loads of links going to different articles.

    You need to soften you main page and guide your audience, for example you should have you an excerpt of your latest post on your main page with a picture to the left or right of it.

    You top bar navigation menu should be made to be the secondary focal point for you audience so they will click through. You could use a larger font or maybe a color that will make those links stand out.

    Hi

    the site looks good, as per the articles and the data which was provided by senior doctors
    come's to designing and coding part
    change the background color with suitable for both banner and footer, and
    on the left side bar, text is too from the border and there should be some padding on the top and bottom
