(not eric, but had the same thought) Everything just feels way oversized, in a Fisher-Price kind of way. The font, the colors and "chunky"-ness of the UI. The full-width content-area doesn't help either. The whole page gets right up in your face and shouts the content at you. Concrete suggestions: - dial down the font size - put some blank space in the left-right marigns of the page (responsive if possible). - maybe choose a more passive shade of blue for the background. EDIT: here's an example comparing your page with wikipedia http://recordit.co/Za7NuT8Hy7 http://recordit.co/Za7NuT8Hy7

Thank you! I'm going to work through those suggestions later. Do you mind if I ask for your feedback afterwards?

  Sure, go for it :)

    I made a couple of small tweaks. If you have a moment and are willing to take a look, I'd love to hear your thoughts! (You may need to perform a hard reload in your browser.)

> Everything just feels way oversized, in a Fisher-Price kind of way I'd also recommend getting rid of the icons on the main menu and replacing them with text (with a small icon next to them if you must). I had to hover over the icons to figure out what they do. This is one of the things I like about Bootstrap, as a developer I can now focus on building stuff without having to care about making it look nice (which I'm not good at). I just add Bootstrap and for 90% of things (I usually do business web apps) that's good enough.
