    G'day All

    I am a newbie to the web, however I have been working on my first website. It is finally at a stage where it is ready for review and I am hoping that people might be able to take the time to have a look at it and let me know what they think.

    If you have any feedback, questions, thoughts or criticism please feel free to air them.

    My site is www.racethead.com

    Thank you

    your site looks nice if you add a better header (maybe with a race related picture) it may be better

    I like your site and it looks like it has a lot of potential. Just work on increasing the exposure of the site

    Thanks for your feedback guys.

    The more i seem to learn about IM, the more i realise how little I know. At this stage of my website, what do you think i should be focusing on to build exposure? Backlinks, articles, press releases?

    I love the simple clean design! Maybe add a thin 1 or 2 pixel dark grey (darker than your background color) around the whole layout

    Thanks everyone for your support.

    I have made a number of improvements over the last week and I am still trying to work out ways in which i can do more for advertisers.

    If you have any further suggestions or feedback, please let me know.

    Not bad, play around with font sizes to increase impact

    Most of the things in your top navigation bar are usually found in the footer of pages (T&C, About us...)

    More use of colours, racing is a dynamic thing afterall?

    i think the site was simple and clean enough to convey the sole purpose

    colour scheme and font sizes always needed to be worked with time and will improve slowly

    i think you have done a great work bro

    keep up the good work
    you have done a great work if you see as a first time job

    Thanks for your help everyone. I must admit, that although it is my first site, i had to get someone to develop it for me. Because I have absolutely no idea when it comes to the technical stuff.

    I had to write out all the procedures and do a mock up in excel for the overall idea of the site, but the part time developer has to take the credit for the final finish.

    I am pretty happy with the site, but i will continue to make improvements and I appreciate the feedback.
