    design and layout of http://www.badcircuit.com

    what I am looking for is, what do you think of:

    1. layout
    2. banner placement
    3. font size

    the top banner all the blue will be replace, task has been sent to my graphic designer - I had auctions ads on there until it just looked horrible on my site

    Layout is too wide for my laptop screen. (14 in)
    Banner placement (Is it standart banner width?)
    Font size is OK.

    well there are 2 cases one is at 468 right above the recent articles and the other is to the far left 250*250

    I tried to keep a good size for the layout, knowing a lot of the new resolution are at 1024 (which is almost standard) but I to have a mac laptop with a 14 inch screen as well

    thanks for your input kaiser

    Nice clean layout. Ads are also placed well that it does not interfere with the actual content. Very nice job...

    1. layout - I think nice but design a logo for your site and redesign your header.
    2. banner placement - I think very good.
    3. font size - fixed well.

    Note : your site opens very slow for me. Please fix it.

    Layout is ok; but only looks good when the browser is maximized...
    banner placement is fine
    font size is great... the bold black header is the first thing to grab my attention...

    well, you need to put borderlines coz everything just glide up from one column to another, especially your categories and archives and stuff.. i dunno if its part of the article like a bulleted list or something..

    hope that helps.. =)

    may I ask your screen resolution because this was made for 800*600




    hmm so maybe add a border between columns? I am trying to have the page flow into each - I do not want to make it seem like its 'locked'

    Very slow loading for me. I love the layout, it's really just missing a header/logo.

    The only real issue I see is that whole column with "free download" on top. It is out of place and doesn't work well for usability I'd move it to the left side of the page to balance out the right. Also, as English readers read left to right it works better for navigation.
