Looking good, I believe it has the correct look for what it is. I feel like I’m already playing the game before I even know much about it. Defiantly gets the users attention.

The images aren’t quite big enough; they are just shy of filling some of the table cells, would look much better if they filled them.

I don’t like how the navigation jumps to the left instead of it being centred. To stop confusion I believe a website’s navigation should stay in one place and keep the same buttons and not to change the justification of a website.

Making some of the main buttons link to other websites is very confusing for users, you make them feel lost and not to sure what’s going on, completely removes them from being involved in the website, if you need to link outside the website make sure the user knows that’s what they are about to do.

You need to sort out your navigation and continuity – once you’ve done that you’ll have a sweet site, one that anybody should be proud of.

It's obvious you know what you're doing, but maybe a bit too "congested."

IMO you need to use some more white, it has way to much blue.

One of my biggest concerns is all the links go to another website (kilahost.com), ok looking at the source it's a frames site. but even your logo is another domain name again, thats 3 domains. Gets confusing, are you unable to use just one?

Looking at your pages there is no anchor point, all you have is headings and links and sections, no order to follow or flow, everything is important which is to much for the brain to compahend, and then the attenion span thing kicks in and gets bored.
You need some flow, so readers are directed to the main content and not the side links, so they read down the page then over to the side. Reading some of your articles (even one on colour) it appears you have set your site up like this for search engines?

Compared to sites I usually frequent this falls along the median category, the design is not that wow, but it works for your target, Also check your spellings, some texts are missing... The boxes dont have equal spaces, but then you have the clean look...

This is a good first try, but I bet you can do better than this...

I like the colours and the logo. It's got a nice freestyle sort of feel, but the rest of the layout doesn't go along with that. It's very boxy and rigid in comparison. It would be good to open that up a lot, remove the borders on things, and try to continue with the more freestyle, hand drawn feel of the logo. It would also be nice to see more of the yellow from the logo rather than plain old blue.

If you're going to keep all those boxes at least add some more padding so the text isn't bumping up against the borders so much.

The text on the page and in the header should do a better job of describing what is here - these are tech and design related articles so that should be clear to a first visitor.

Hope that helps,

The colours are a fav of mine.
This is a web site that inspires me. So neat, excellent navigation. No frills no fuss just brilliant.
I am a fan!

What can I say other than its more than I could do... Nice layout and it is very easy to get around...I noticed you change page color sceam on a few article pages..in most cases thats not a good Idea but in the case it worked well.
