    Hello DP memebers, please review my website www.togotutor.com, I have been making a lot of changes to the website in past 6 months, The site is on page #1 of google on several key words/phrase in its niche. I have a good traffic on this website. Please let me know what you guys think about it.

    Let me be honest, the site looks like a 1995's website, i mean the content is great but the presentation makes it dull :(
    No offense meant, just trying to be honest as i said above.

    Thanks Buddy, Please give me some suggestions on which place needs a lot of work, just FYI... the site is great in SEO and I am getting very good traffic so If I try to decorate it too much I am afraid that it will mess up with the SEO. Any suggestion?

    I think modernizing the logo content, image and letters, will do good for the visual experience, at the same time it won't effect the SEO part.

    I totally agree IT Publisher, The logo looks too childish, I realize this.. as the site is for engineers, administrator (skilled technology people) but logo looks like a child story website.. I am going to work on it and once it`s done, I will ask a favour for re-evaluation. Thanks a lot guys for the comments.

    Thanks a lot Mazhar, Please also keep visiting the site, if you like any tutorials on it. I am still working on filling up the content, so it is going to take me a long time.

    Consider changing header to Free Online Tutorials
    Now the font is a real turn off, atleast for me, the site really needs some redesign, i mean the plain thing makes it look as if its an old website not updated since 1990's in terms of design though data has been added timely.
    I mean its like you have inserted a 1000cc engine, nitrous, hydraulics etc in a 1970's fiat...
    Also i took a screenshot which you may want to work on.
    The ad should be 728*90 or 468*60 (That box doesnt look like a piece of the puzzle)

    Please center the advert :)
    The "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" isn't aligned properly.
    As for what font to use, i am sorry because i came last in a CSS competition, coz i know nothing about it, i can only help you with the external beauty of the site, i am a n00b at coding :(

    Yes, huseinbandi... I design the whole website and I am author of the content... It`s too much for me, so I do whenever I get some time as the website is not my primary source of income.

    Header background (light blue to white gradient) makes it look like it's from the 1990s, header logo to the right with empty spaces in the center and on the left adds to that feeling.
