    Please give me an honest review of my site: Articlesmiths.

    I would appreciate it very much if you could give me a straightforward, constructive assessment of the site so I may be able to improve it.

    Thanks ahead! ;)

    The site is well designed but the font does not look very good, you should
    use a different font make it a bit smaller and adjust the leading because
    the font is too close together.

    Thank you, kingofsanda! I had a feeling the fonts are small. :)

    Any advice how I could adjust the font leading in the Wordpress admin area?

    in my opinion the colour contrast is bit too sharp.
    But apart from that , looks great:)

    you probably should check your english grammar.. "Efficient in the English language, we guarantee unique and creative written work. All our work are original"

    You might want to remove the reference to "Valid XHTML" because it's not validating as the website claims. It's got 64 Errors and 1 warning. Kinda misleading... Sorry, I'm a programmer not a designer. Some of your images are a bit stretched also.. doesn't look too crash. Banner would stand out more if you got softer colors.

    Can you be more specific, froznz? Are you referring to "All our work are original"? Sorry, it's a typo.



    Thanks for the technical feedback, ryelpango. I'm currently working with a coder to fix those errors. Can you point out which of the images are a bit stretched out? You can tell me on which pages are those found.

    the template looks good I would get rid of the home button though it doesn't look good with the search below it the image on the main page is a bit stretch out i think, all in all it pretty much ok

    Image is not at balance size or low resolution.Try to make your logo like web 2.0.


    Suggestion
    If your have member testimonial pages or successful story member pages at your front pages,it should bring confident to your client.

    You may also create a useful sales copy which act as your salesman for your services.

    The banner looks flat and unattractive. A simple one will do, you don't even need fancy images and reflections. The colour scheme is also mismatched with the rest of the site, the yellow bars doesn't go well with the red header and black background.

    I like the template, live support is always a good thing. On the 'why us' tab you have a string of html or something at the top you need to correct.
