    Ok well i thought i may as well get a review of my website Areol. The website has had 4 major redesigns in only a month. Yes i am a fussy person :p . Anyways i will show you all the versions that the website use to be like up to the current one. Compatible with all current web browsers. I have purposely not coded for ie6 as i believe it is just a primitive browser with a minor amount of my targeted audience will be using. But my wordpress themes support ie6.

    The new design looks good the layout is great and it's easy to navigate
    however, it's somewhat difficult to read the name of the site in the header you
    should make the name of the site more prominent in the header.

    Viewed the site in firefox
    Excellent design, and well organised and its easy to navigate.
    I would recommend slightly modifying the header because the as the above reviewer has mentioned it is somewhat dificult to read.

    I would recommend:
    1) Add a fav icon
    2) Add a site map
    3) Modify the header (as the advice above)
    4) Add a contact page (if users need to get in touch about something - create anemail such as help/admin/contactus@areol.co.uk/

    Best of luck with the site!

    Kind Regards

    I am taking all these comments into consideration. Yes i will be having a favicon. I will also be adding a sitemap and a contact page. The site provides wordpress themes, templates photoshop tutorials. So yeah another tutorial / web resource website. So hence the creative header. Yes i know its somewhat hard to see the logo but that was the ment on purpose.

    The design and layout is good and it was faster in loading and easy to navigate.But in header part-the name of the site(areol)is not much visible since it matches with the background.Need to show them uniquely.Thanks.

    Nice layout. but i dontlike the design.. too much confusion on the page. My eyes dont know where to look and get tired easily..

    needs to be simplified.

    I thought this design was fairly simple. Compared to my previous designs it is a huge improvement in its simplicity. If anyone seen my previous design yeah it was extremely unique and design wise one of my best. But it was confusing to navigate.

    But well until i am happy myself i can say i Areol will undergo a few more complete design from scratch.
