  • Scoolyob,

    You have a pretty good start here. There are a few things that would make the site look more professional.

    Put your top navigation (i.e. home, news, stroke stories, etc) all in one line underneath the blue header. Outline them with a lighter colored border and lighter background.

    I would consider a different font for the site. Something like Century Gothic.

    Try and combine the two right columns into one or get rid of some of the info. There is too much going on over there.

    Make your post titles more prominent. Add some small images at the beginning of your posts to break them up a little bit.

    You need to make improvements on the design. The design is decent but very 2003-ish. Use better color combinations. Blue, white, and black is too vague, in my opinion. You should change the background to some pastel color, and make the text a lighter shade of black. Change the 3 column layout to 2 columns; you already have 2 more columns of adsense flanking your site. The 5 columns are making it look very crowded.

      I agree with previous replies - I would also change the header - something medical. The font is difficult to read so this could be changed. Your content is good - keep going!
