Remove the pop up ad things, and about 60% of the content, and make the headings bigger.
Those “AdBrite” pop ups ads are one of the most annoying ads I’ve encountered, nuke ‘em! :) Plus, there are too many ads, the site looks like one of those parked domain sites that try to steal your information.
There is way, way too much content. Try removing a bunch of it, I’d say around 60% of it. The site’s too busy looking, and the content’s all crammed together and doesn’t look that professional.
And it took me about 2 minutes to find out what all the content in the middle was, then I found the small blue header, hidden by everything else, try to make your headings stand out more than your content and advertisement.
I’d suggest putting arrows on all of the drop down menu items, this shows visitors that there’s a drop down menu. I didn’t notice this until I went to switch tabs and these blue things started popping up, I though it was more ads, but it was sub menus. To make a down arrow, use:
▼
The menu’s flat, meaning it’s boring. There’s no style to it, it just looks like a bunch of crammed together boxes. Try applying padding to the menu items, and taking out some of them to make it less crowded.
The blogs page is fine, but just as crowded. I think all the stuff in the sidebars is cramming up the content.
Sorry it’s all negative, but that’s what criticism is all about, right? ;)
