    Well. Here are some tips, you can take them or leave them.
    First: get rid of that webhit counter up top. It's tacky, old-fashioned, and nobody cares.
    Second: it's very... grey. That might be a design-choice, of course, but... it looks less than professional. Maybe invest a bit more time in adding some colors, etc.
    Third: on the review-page, some of the "speech-bubbles" doesn't wrap the content - this can be easily fixed by adding overflow: hidden; to the class div.content-box-content in the CSS-file.
    Fourth: (kinda major) - you're not using HTTPS on your site, while you do have a login present - that means that it's trivial to get hold of logins for anyone able to access the server or hijack the data-stream. I'm also assuming this is on a shared host, which also compromises security. Not the best starting point for a webpage with a (probably) rather private clientelle.

    Also, I see you have a few pictures (rather innocent ones) - maybe you should also have some examples of what one gets with a membership - pictures, videos, show a few examples (create some fake ones if need be) of profiles, blogs etc.

    Thank you! That is very interesting. I have just one question what is https? compared to http? I am new to all this! I am certainly going to work on the other issues you raised!

    Thank you,

    HTTP, or HyperText TransferProtocol is how data is transferred on the web (mostly) - HTTPS is the same thing, except the S stands for Secure - it adds a layer of security and encrypts the content so that it is a LOT harder to intercept (non-trivial to anyone not NSA, basically). You can read a short explanation here: http://www.biztechmagazine.com/article/2007/07/http-vs-https
