    Good points:

    - Nice navigational bar
    - Green/dark grey works well together.
    - Good use of HTML5 and CSS3

    Bad points:

    - Poor logo, replace immediately!
    - Bad use of space, condense things more.

    Good luck!

    The background image, banner color and logo color all looks green, may be different color will look good.

    -The content looks good.
    -The large header image is blurry.
    -I don't like the bright green for your title text where it says "raw vegan diet advisor". Maybe you can go with a gree + yellow-orange overall color scheme. To be honest, I am just not a huge fan of the layout. It feels too dark to me.
    -What is that logo of the figure with the leaves on both the facebook and twitter accounts? I don't see it on the website. If that's the official logo then it needs to be on the website.
    -I like the right sidebar though. Try to use colors from there for the website design.

    I think you have a good starting place. I would really just put some more time into working on the design. Maybe look at some raw food/vegan/health websites/blogs and see what they do.

    I have huge problems with the content but you've asked for a design review so I'll leave that for another day.

    The menu has 2 options that drop down to a new line. You need to revisit your menu and either use a smaller font or create dropdowns to hold the less important items.

    The ad in the main column is a bit '90s in quality - I don't know if you have any control over that and, as already pointed out, the sidebar is a bit clunky looking.

    Hi, honestly i dont like the design. You really need to work on the logo. The background is quite ugly in my opinion. There are two buttons that are outside the nav-bar and the search bar is kind of lost. Also, the big yellow square in the footer doesnt look good. Regards

    I don't like the header and the background at all. I would create a new design from scratch.

    My vision:
    The header and the green background look like shit.. About background it's probably because of the color, try other color schemes..
    But about the header it's just trash.. You have to rework it totally, if you want this website to look good..
    Other parts are done pretty well, but maybe this opinion is just because of trash on the top :D
    All the best,
    Hope it helped you
