several things come to my mind watching the site: 1. i could not figure out, what exactly the site is about. please write a short sentence or paragraph, on what users can expect. ...i just saw that you have this information in the title tag. put it in the header somewhere . your users will thank you. 2. you use caps for the main navigation and have 13 nav items. the nav items are very hard to read (and there´s no space between the text and the borders). capitalizing only the first letters would help a lot. regarding that there are many items (and subitems) perhaps it would be better to put the navigation in a left sidebar. 3. you use tahoma for text and content. serif fonts are hard to read (on screens). if you wanna have serif fonts, use them for headlines and serifless fonts for content. again you users will thank you. 4. there is the date in the top right. most users will know which is today´s. so it will distract many users from the real content. 5. in the top top navigation there are options for font size, background color,... i´d remove all of these and carefully set typography and colors that they fit most users needs. 6. like this buttons: the images are cut out from a white background, so there are those little white pixels left on the edges. though this is a very smallish issue it gives the users the impression that this is an unprofessional site. i guess you don´t want that :) 7. using adwords is ok, but putting ads (and no content) in the very center looks like you wanna make a quick buck and are not at all interested in providing real information/benefit. users immediately sense that and i guess about 90% of your visitors will leave the site. if you wanna make money out of this, you should get more creative. (extra tipp: making money from adwords works quite bad today) 8. generally read some articles on design and best practices. this will help you improve your site(s) more than you might think. martin
