    Hey guys,

    Recently I completely redone my website www.webdevtutorial.com from the ground up. Mod rewritten all my urls and everything~

    The design is simple but do you think its a bit bright?
    I'm not sure why I chose this colorscheme but at the time I kinda liked it :)

    Comments appreciated~

    Thanks
    Ed

    I like the layout. I would suggest a muted color scheme that would better contrast with the white background.

    the design is just great. simple and nice to the eye

    I like the G AdSense too, well aranged the first one on top. I'd have clicked myself :)

    I'd only suggest you to add some onmouseover effects for the left menu and top menu, I don't see anything now :)

    when I am on tutorials, the HOME menu is still highlighted

    also, make the forum header just like your site's it'll look better

    I liked the bright colors, it's probably the background color I would tweak.. And you must have done a great job with the addsense because even after going back and looking again, I dont see it! heheh

    Thanks for all the reviews guys! The site is still undergoing some fixes as you can see not all the pages are perfected yet. Good idea about the mouseover effects, I'll add that to the list.

    I'm also planning to add a custom google ad rotator which will rotate ads on the front page to keep everyone on their feet :) Hopefully that'll rake in some more $$! :D

    Also the comments about the backgroudn color, what color do you guys think I should change it to? Darker color or a light blue?

    Thanks again,
    Edward

    Change the colors? Well personally I believe its impossible to accomadate everyone's preference in colors in design since one individual might like blue and another might prefer pink. I'm trying to find a balance where the site is clear, simple and bright enough so that users will not feel uncomfortable when reading my webpage.

    I think the color is a bit too bright. Also, you can add a similar adsense link in the middle also, just like on top.
