    Hello everyone,

    I am working on a website which is about folk remedies and natural medicines, herbs, and the like.

    I would like to have a few comments and suggestions about the site. That is I want to see what others reactions are to it.

    Rep will be given to all who can give me some constructive criticism and advice on how to make this site better.

    Thanks!

    Nice looking site, but you have a problem with the text along the top bar. It overlaps for me.

    The top adsense ads also overlap for me as well.

    I believe you should center the adsense ads on the left hand side a bit.

    I think the logo could use a little work. Maybe something a bit more vector in nature to enhance the feel of the herbs. Right now the logo leaves me wanting.

    The color selection is good for this type of site.

    The images are solid. Maybe you can spruce it up a bit with some little herb or plantlike icons spread across the site as mini-headers. Maybe even go a neutral very soft green background might add to it as well.

    Make sure the logo doesn't overlap the top line. That doesn't look very professional.

    My 2 Cents :)

    I have never been a fan of Fire Fox, The site didnt have the overlapping problem in IE but everything seems to look fine as far as how the ads and the logo line up. I have corrected that code so it does show up OK in FF, at least for me now.

    THANKS Y'ALL!

    I agree that the header could use some work. Ideally the search box would be up there or some kind of banner.

    I like the color scheme, but it might be a bit too much white.

    It also looks like your grey gradient image behind the menu doesn't show up in FireFox.

    The Google ads on top seem a bit weird too. Like the rest of the site, it just looks like its floating on the page. This problem happens a lot when using so much white background.

    Obviously you're going to need a lot more content too. It would be nice to be able to view pages for certain ailments.

    i agree with vansterdam about the google ads,in the top ads i think that it should have no borders and white background to blend with the site,the left ads are ok,i think that you should put the top logo in the center

    Nice design. The green goes so well with the white background. I like the logo as that stands out which is good. I have nothing bad to say about this site. Good luck.

    It’s a nice site and I feel the colors and the title are a good fit for the topic. I like sites that are easy to read the text. The best advice I can say is darken up the text or change the background color or change the letter style to make it easier to read.
