I would appreciate critiquing of all kinds : SEO, design, navigation, or content.

Thanks for your help!

This is a nice basic layout. it's clean and easy to read. The content is high quality. I think the design could be improved a lot with some appropriate cultural images. Even landscapes or cityscapes in India would be interesting and add some life to the site.

An better logo would be another big improvement for the site. The comic sans font looks too casual, and the Indian flag is a bit generic looking. Try looking for a culturally-inspired or scripted font to use for the logo. Repeating the "Learn hindi" in Devanagari might be an idea to try.

I think the next step with this site would be to provide some audio and/or video tutorials. It's hard to learn a language just by reading about it. Then you could promote your videos using YouTube and get more traffic that way.

I have just review your site already. I think it looks nice and well looking. I like your colors, but a small problem is the layout. I think it is not professional. It would be better if you can redesign your layout to make it more interesting for visitors. Thanks

The text is really small. If I was actually using this to try to learn it would really hurt my eyes.

Your navigation and other links need to be made so that it's more obvious when I mouse over them. The navigation does become underlined, which is something. But it stays the same color and the navigation bar doesn't do anything. And the links throughout the page just don't do anything at all. It's generally not good practice to make me hope that I'm actually over a link.

Really though, my big complaint is about the size of everything. Just make it a bit bigger and that will do a load of good.

I like the look of the site and the topic - to the extent that I got quite excited and started to look at the content. I thought I might even start to learn.

Perhaps it is because it becomes more difficult to learn as you get older, but I found that I got lost very quickly - I think I would need to hear examples, so that when you say "try this with your hand in front of your mouth" I can hear what you are doing.

Sadly my learning experience will have to wait!

Oh - and the type is very small.

It is not bad, the layout is small and made in different colors that are not hard on the eyes. and the logo is not a huge one sticking out at you. The layout is thin, working on both smaller and larger displays.

It is a well made layout but you are missing a browser Icon to the site and may want to add some css for the links on the site.

But other then that your site is good for being newer.

Nice clean design, as previously stated font size of body text and menu links needs to be a bit bigger.
May be make a banner with some Hindi calligraphy, will make it more interesting to look at.
When you visit a page make link to that page different color or have different background so users can see where they are.
May be add some validation javascript and/or php server side script for contact information form.
Also for SEO you should add some keywords in your header.

Cheers

One of the simplest sites I've had the pleasure of navigating. No distractions, no clutter, and great for anyone wanting to focus on the content. अच्छा काम !

It is good but few things I would like to suggest that make it a bit attractive and second thing that it should have some Hindi alphabets on the background so that it some attraction towards..in short should have Hindi's "varnamala"
