    First of all ... this is my first try to make a website. Domain is about 12 days old.

    So, as a beginner, I bet I lost many things in my view, in the past few days i've learned a lot, but i am surely not implemented all things right.

    the website is : http://www.basic-directory.com

    So i need opinions about:

    1) layout , graphics improvement advices
    2) content advices, directory structure advices
    3) SEO advices, i am not sure i used the keywords correctly.
    4) overall opinions, i am ready to accept negative opinions , negative comments will always lead to better improvements.
    5) What to add next in my site, to improve users experience, and make them come back to my site.

    Thanks in advance !

    The design and layout are fine. The logo should be changed though. Its too small and looks faded.

    The layout and the design looks good however, the logo does not look as good, you should get a more
    professional logo.

    Your layout looks excellent. But I would do something about that logo as it looks like it's of low resolution and choppy.

    Same advice as the rest; Get a polished, tidy logo like the rest of your website! (you can hold a contest for us here for $10, $20, $30 for a logo... depending on your expectations.) ;)

    The site its self uses a simply wonderful colour scheme and house style..

    Good luck to you with this directory; I shall use it someday ^_^

    It has a professional template and layout but the logo has a low resolution and you can work on getting a better one.Thanks.
