    Hey guys just wondering your opinions on how to improve the look of my site.

    Like maybe font colors or something, I really like my header and the green theme...

    What do you guys think about the link colors in body and sidebar, what about the background color?

    Thanks for any tips!

    Travis

    Use some Professional Touches.

    Your Columns fall out of place in IE 7.0. The categories are way below the post.
    The home button is also irregularly positioned. You may want to check the style.css again. Your Heading needs some font adjustments too.

    Hi,

    It is a nice header. However, I'd experiment a bit with type setting on the "Treat Acne".

    Also I'd try a soft, light green background instead of the gray one.

    Cheers,
    Anja

    This seems to be a ready template. It doesn't have good spacing and fonts are too bad. Get some professional designer and redesign your website. You will get much if you spend little.

    I agree with websea. Your typography isn't good and padding/margin needs a lot of work too, specially doing your content. The header and navigation also needs some professionality.

    Good luck.

    actually for me this is pretty bad - it looks very generic....sorry. Everything here looks like it was done quickly - I suggest may going back in and rethinking how you want this to actually look. Something gave you inspiration for this site so go back to that and see what happens.

    I see it's a wordpress site. My speciality. :D
    Well... to me, any good design starts with a good image.
    Something catchy, expresive, beautiful, call it how you like.

    Then base the rest of your design on how the header image looks. To take your case (though that image is not really doing your site any good), if you used green in the header, continue through the rest of your site with the color so that it will blend nice. I'm not saying that you should have a bright green background, but small elements like links, borders or titles should match the color your user saw first and make your design a whole.
    Then, you really need some space between the title and those borders. Your tables have a lot of space at the bottom, but none at the top.
    I guess this is not what you wanted to hear, but your design needs a lot of work to achieve a good look.
    But it's a good start. Good luck with the improving, as I'm sure you will do so. :)

    It needs some touch-ups in a couple of places
    but it's really not all that bad because it's very
    straight forward and looks to be user-friendly.

    Needs some tweaking.
    The header is too tall, and looks empty with only the Home and About links.
    And theres just so much stuff to search through...you should feature some items.
    But nice, good potential!
