Hey, welcome to the forum. With only 3 posts, I'm going to assume you are new.

I'm going to provide you with positive criticism. Your site needs some work. There seems to be a lot of content, however from a design standpoint it looks very dated.

The buttons alone are reminiscent of the windows 95 user interface.

There are three navigation bars. The column on the side, if you want it on the side, should probably be on the left hand side, and the "About us, Site Map" thing should probably be on the bottom. Contact Us and Ordering can be placed on the top, but not in a nav bar format.

The animated banner, is also very dated. It is also very small. A larger banner might do your website much benefit.

I also believe you might want to invest in a new logo. Your current one, other than being blurry, is not very appealing, and too detailed.

Lastly, try to stick to a web 2.0 look. Even though web 2.0 in its purest sense might not go with your astrological website, some variations of it, can. I would recommend you look at WordPress Themes, HTML Templates - ThemeForest . They have excellent templates, at very cheap prices. I'm sure you can find one that will suite your needs.

PM me if you have any questions about logo design, web design, web template customization, anything really in regards to your site. I hope I can help you to the best of my abilities.

Best Regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your feedback, I do appreciate it. I will certainly consider your suggestions.

Please let me know if you have any other input regarding the content, navigation etc.

When first visiting my eyes wanted to pop out of my head. there is no obvious direction on where you are going with the site. I would suggest simplifying the header, and side bars and reduce or spread content out rather than showing the user the whole site from one page.

^^ That guy is funny. OK, the site to me looks pretty good to me. Judging from your PR I'm not the only one who thinks so. The only thing that comes to mind is the amount of links, but I'm no expert.

The content on the Home page hardly constitutes the entire content of the site. How are you going to get users to view your content if you hide it or don't make it compelling enough for it to be clicked on... that basic marketing (read common sense)!

The PR is though, something that needs to be improved.
