    I like to looks of the site the only thing I don't care for is the washed out green you use on the page but that is just my opinion and for everyone like me who would like a different color there could be 5 who like the color you are using. That is why it is good to get opinions.

    You've got some good stuff going on there. A few suggestions...

    The Top Menu
    First, I'm not a huge fan of the font face 'Palatino Linotype' - it's a bit stretched out when compared to the 'Impact' font that you've chosen for your title/headline. Honestly, I think that going with a simple font like 'Arial' would be best.

    Second, I don't think that you need the hyphen in the menu items. For instance, I would use 'HOME' instead of '-HOME' and 'CONTACT PAGE' instead of '-CONTACT PAGE'. The hyphens in a list are meant to draw definition to each separate item. But, in a menu like yours, the items are far enough apart that it's easy to tell that each is a separate item - so they hyphen looks a bit out of place. And I would probably remove the colon at the end of '-REVIEWS AND OPINIONS:' and '-ALL NATURAL REMEDIES:' - the colon doesn't really look right. I think that the hyphens and colons are there because that's how you have named the respective pages in your WordPress admin area.


    The 'With the Everyday Roots Book, I Will...' Section
    A bit lower on the page, you have a big section with a headline 'With the Everyday Roots Book, I Will...' and then there's a whole bunch of great content. The problem is that the content is an image instead of actual text on the page. I would suggest that you actually type that content out onto the page rather than just using an image with the text. This will be better for your SEO and it just looks better to visitors.

    The image is probably straight from the sales page of your clickbank product and I get that. But, I would just rewrite the actual text so there's words on your page instead of an image. Maybe even re-write the text and put it in your own words too.


    The 'Pages' Menu a Bit Lower Down
    Down the page a bit, to the left of the 'With the Everyday Roots Book, I Will...' section, there is a menu that is titled 'Pages'. The menu items have a little arrow to delineate them. When you hover over the menu item, the little arrow animates a bit - very nice. But, you've again put hyphens on your menu items. The hyphens here are also not needed since you already have the little arrows in front of each menu item.

    In this menu, I would suggest using 'ALL NATURAL REMEDIES' instead of '-ALL NATURAL REMEDIES:' - and I would nix the colons in this menu as well.


    ONE HAPPY CUSTOMER
    Under the 'Pages' menu, you have a heading that says 'ONE HAPPY CUSTOMER'. I would change that to 'ONE OF MANY HAPPY CUSTOMERS' OR 'ONE OF OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS'. The way that it is currently written makes it sound like there has only been one customer.


    Some Formatting Stuff
    On the page -ALL NATURAL REMEDIES: - THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE, INVEST IN YOURSELF AND YOURS - you have images with titles under them. But, some of the titles are off center. I would correct this.


    It sounds like a lot of criticism, but I just want to be helpful. Like I said, you've got a lot of good stuff going on too. Good luck with the site!

      The only comment I would make is that the 'Click this link' should be at the top of the page. Many people will not scroll down on a page and will therefore not see the link.

    I don't like the menu at the top it's all over the place.
    The big red writing "CLICK ON THIS LINK—–>>>> " does not have a link

    on the front page it may be better to convert that big image into text with little images so search engines can read the writing.
