I hope I can be honest with you but your site looks way too much like something made with free templates. It looks cheap, especially the header image.

I'm also quite confused what the site is about. By looking at your front page the title would suggest the site to be a web design company, while the actual content looks more like a tech news blog.

I like how you have encorporated the google ads, they blend well into the site. I like the top banner alot, but do you think it mixes well?

well i liked the layout, but your adsense postioning is very bad. Please read the articles in my blog. Plus you will soon need to add more tools to your site as most popular topics to keep your visitors in your site. Good Luck with your site.

Look pretty good. In my mind you need to create some nice attractive logo and choose some other font for header... But everything else is great!

It looks good, but the "logo" was a little hard to see.

**Hashim** · 05-22-2007, 03:51 PM

humm I see, actually the design is like some may like it v much and some may not at all. ya I need to ad some more tools (widgets) to make it more functional blog, i have started adding a few. I am new so doing as i am learning. On the header part I accept i was too lazy, will surely make it look better. Thanks for all your suggestion but I think no one really looked carefully at my blog because after one day of posting here i found 5 serious mistakes and none of you pointed out

anyways its corrected now

I love the way you integrated the AdSense ads into your sidebar. The blog looks very professional. The only thing I would change-- ensure the paragraphs have a little more space between them.

Q...

It's pretty cool. The Google ads on the righ is taking up too much width space..
And i am not sure if having the entire side bar extend all the way up to the header is a good idea..
Your color combination is alittle off too
IMHO

I am going to have to agree with jv16 - the first respondent to the post. The site really looks like you're learning web design - which is fine, btw.

Good graphic design consists of a few basic concepts: complimentary colors and a relatively small palette, one or two fonts, and flow. I think that your blog fails on at least two of these fronts. You have different colors in every background and graphic.

The header image is off-topic. What does NetGuruz have to do with someone in a hood and a dead tree? You could take the same header and put in on an Iron Maiden Fan Site and not have a problem. I would change the header image. The text in the header is Pink when there's no pink anywhere else on the page.

Your blog is about new technology products (I think), but all of your AdSense is talking about Paintball Supplies. This isn't going to help you at all. If I'm on a tech blog, why would I click off to get cheap prices on paintball gear? They're totally unrelated. This would be the first thing I'd fix.

I think if you had relevent graphics and AdSense, a consistent color scheme, and a little more content, you'd be okay.

Looks like It is not as good as it could be. maybe do a matching header footer and page layout for all your sites.

Hope that helps

Good Job

i like it, the only thing i dont like about the site is the fact its left aligned, i prefer sites to be centre aligned (personal preferance), and the background colour of the categories is too dark, and draws the eye away from the main part of the site which is the white section im guessing? tone down the colour of the categories background so that the eye is drawn to the main part of your site first!

well done.
