    Yikes, that font is horrendous on the Cookie Control popup and it's hard to read. The dropdown menu at the top of the page isn't too bad but is producing some funky result where an extra line is showing up to the right of the menu.

    The actual layout of the site overall isn't too bad, it's not a bad color scheme but the text right under your banner looks kind of bland. Not really too big of a deal though.

    The slider took a while for me to load for some reason and the greyish text on that background might be a little hard to read for some people.

    Overall, it's not too bad.

    In Style.css on line 48 I believe, remove this:

    text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 white;

    That makes the popup readable, because you don't give white text a white shadow.

    Cheers,

    Corey

      Thanks for your input Corey. Regarding the cookie control it is a legal requirement in EU now so has to be displayed. However your comments will be taken onboard.

      Don't see that my end.

      Slider load speed being addressed imminently.
      Thanks for taking the time to comment Corey - much appreciated.

    Hey there. Nice looking website. Clean, professional looking. Easy to navigate too.
    Definitely a topic of interest also. Looking for work and self help is a good topic. How are your visits to the site? Good luck with this. Looks like you have things under control.

    I think the pdcafe top navigation dropdown menu is too long. You might want to remove the cookie control popup. NLP site looks ok

    Tpdc,

    I would combine the menus that run along the very top of the page and below the header ad you have. Make them a consistent color and design. I would remove that banner with coffee cup and text underneath it completely. Bring the other banner underneath your menu up higher above the fold of the page. Not sure why the first banner is there but it seems redundant. There is also a lot of valuable content lower on the page that people have to scroll to see.

    I would also remove the cookie warning. That type of information can be placed on a privacy policy page. In general, popups like ads and other unnecessary elements diminish user experiences.

    Change the background color of your search box to white or something easier to see. As long as you have the multiple images on your lower banner, you should make these change at random.

    You might get some ideas from this book. Its an excellent text on web usability,
