    The background is a bit tacky. Change it.
    There is a line through the picture which... doesn't make sense for me.
    You have no introduction that grabs the attention. You don't need killer content, you just need enough to pull the reader in.
    Create a stunning header that pulls in viewers

    I know it's your first website, so you have a lot of room for improvements but at first glance, if I was someone who randomly clicked on your site, I would think it's a template or something.

    Sorry! I'm sure you'll improve it as you get more suggestions.

    Thanks for the input I'll do that. Can I ask for an example site where can I have some idea on what to do?

    it's lacking a strong enough heirarchy I think. Everything is a little too muted and similar so nothing really stands out and grabs your attention.

    The lines through the picture will only ever convey you've grabbed a image from the net and it's unlicenced - so looks unprofessional to a visitor, better to have no image than one with a watermark on it.

    Overall it's ok, but it kind of looks like what it is, a blog that's been used to create a website that probably needs quite a bit more 'designing' to make the most of your content.

    If your not confident you can actually produce something yourself that does you justice then maybe think about looking into hiring someone to give you a hand. It's not a huge job and even a few paid hours should make a big difference

    Nice website but I should use another theme (with a lighter background)

    Maybe you should use a picture of a bodybuilder because when I visited the website it didn't had the look of a workout website.

    It's much better You could still add a bit more colour but you're in the right direction.

    that's miles better mate

    The lighter/whiter theme says 'fitness' a lot more than the black one ever did.

    Also having more content in has helped massively.

    I'd probably now say the thing that stands out is you need to just strengthen your branding. So i'd perhaps look to replace the plain text workout15 with a logo.

    Well done though so far in 24 hours you've really taken onboard what needed to be done and done it.

    the trick now is to try and become your own critic. once you can see why things are not working design wise it becomes so much easier to manage the design side of things.

      It really looks like a blog not a website?
