    My "new" site:
    TrueDietReviews (dot) com

    I would greatly appreciate any criticism.

    And as always, green will be given for thoughtful reviews.

    Hi, it would be great if you could give us some insight in the purpose of your site, to see if the design meets the requirements. Having said that I'll say about things by taking a look at your site:

    I think the content on the main page needs to be better structured. Entering your site is a little confusing, because as a user you don't know where to click to find what you are looking for. IT has so many links that it can be overwhelming. I would suggest organizing the info better so people can differentiate the different topics.

    An introductory text to your site would be helpful too.

    The site in terms of desing look just like other thousand sites out there. Put some time in developing a logo, it doesn't have to be the greatest logo on Earth, but something that sets apart from default fonts. The header images look unconnected and "just pasted" there.

    I would put the navigation a little smaller, it is a bit too distracting.

    Just my 2 cents, hopu you find it useful :D

    I have been struggling with the usuability on the home, but I got some ideas while reading your post.

    And yes, I had some ideas for a new header as well.

    Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

    The design and the page layout is not bad but I do not like the background color, and
    I think your header should be changed your current header does not look good with
    the theme of your site.

    Maybe you need to improve by change the colors. Green and blue colors isn't good combination for me!

    Not bad at all. Pretty nice site overall. Not sure if I like the font too much... The content and concept is nice. Just the look of the site could use some improvement. You can also get rid of the lines under the hyperlinks.

    Thanks, I know I need to add words (on all pages), but I am having trouble finding the right thing to say.

    Anyone know of a person/place that would help with that?
