Please review my layout

    Please review my website layout. The current logo is just something I whipped up but it should look good. The quality might be a little bit bad so I might need to retouch it. The top header bar kinda looks too simple so I might add a glossy effect to it. Other than that, what is your take on my layout/graphics?

    The layout and design is okay. I'd suggest that you get rid of the horizontal scrolling. That is very annoying for users. Also, use smaller images as large images use a lot of space, which causes a lot of scrolling up and down, and also wastes valuable bandwidth.

    Rest is fine. Good luck with the site. :)

    the logo is not that clear and the title of every post is too big and you need to change the color of it,

    Your website's design is quite nice. Everything is tidy and great information on new laptops.

    It's not a very inviting site.

    Needs a bit more colour and substance. Get rid of the horizontal scrolling. Use smaller pics and headings. The white text in the header needs to be a bit darker or the blue header a bit darker - almost blends in as does the 'posted by' under the titles.

    Lots of good content though.

    I like the simple design. But that horizontal scroll is alittle annoying. And the logo looks simple.

    i dont like the logo, the color is not good and cant barely see the "computer solutions"


    too wide space on the first part of your site, just look plain and empty for your site, uninviting if you will introduce your site to new users.

    change the font, keep it tidy.

    content is good, loads of information!

    I've went ahead to change the hyperlinks color to match more with the header and also got rid of the horizontal scrolling. I'm going to retouch the logo a bit more as it seems a little bit distorted and hard to read. Other than that, I may change the buttons on the sidebar as it doesn't seem to blend well.

    As you said, the header is terrible but the rest is quite good.

    The design is really plain.. you can start off with fixing your header design. The black border is way too bold for your site's overall colorscheme. I would change it to a darker shade of blue or maybe removing it and adding a dropshadow instead.

    I've did some altering to the header and also enclosed the sidebar to a container. Any other tips or how does it looks now?

    Not bad. Maybe smaller headers and a little more space between articles/sections. A touch of contrast might help, but don't overdo.

    Hello Vizuke,

    Design looks good to me, very good layout scheme, nicely use of colors. The only one thing that doesn't go the design is your logo. If look at this you will notice that it is catch all your attention and this is due to its colors. For design layout you used light tones and that is perfect choice. For logo you used dark tones and shadows that do not fit in the design. Logo Font is second killing factor need consideration.

    Design is loosing its impact, because of its footer and this only reason it doesn't look composed. If you little work on it and introduce a colored strip in footer, it will support the design and design will looks composed.

    Design layout looks good
    but the way you have the recent post box and the google ads and the other buttons on top of the content its very in your face and distracting if you ask me
