Please review my new site; http://www.webdirec.com Any suggestions as to content. design etc. Thanks Ted
I really enjoy the overall look of your site. The one suggestion I would make is that within your posts, making the text stand out is your friend. For example, a better job with indenting, numbered and bulleted lists might improve the readability of your articles. Great work though. http://www.breednet.net
The header should fit to the theme of your site and try to think of something to write in your title in the main page instead of putting your URL in it.
It's a good effort, though as mentioned, you should change the header to make it suit the theme of your site. The image stands out and is the first thing the user sees when the page loads, and I thought I'd landed on a travel/nature site. I would also break up those long blocks of text with images or H3 headings. If anything scares a reader off more it's long blocks of text...
I have used this theme/template before and I guess you did not change anything specially the header. There's still a big room for improvement in terms of design and overall look of your site.
Its OK for a start but the header is not related to the niche and its rather bland if you could work on improving those it could work out well but at the moment it does not do alot for me.
The theme looks very simple but will be attractive if you add good color schemes and the layout and contents are well organised.
Its ok, just looks like about a million other sites out there. If you want to be different create something new, not using wordpress and not looking like a page from blogger.com.
