Mr. Trump,

I like it. Here are some comments:

1. My personal opinion is the header takes most of the screen. Maybe the picture of the field is a little too long. See what other think about this, though, because it could be just me.

2. Again, this is just my personal preference, but I don't like the content to be centered.

3. On the home page, make you can increase the font size for headings and have some sub-headings.

4. The main menu on the left hand side panel kind of gets lost. Is there a way to create a horizontal menu toward the top of the page? Just a suggestion.

5. This is more on the marketing side of things, but I would recommend have a Sign Up to collect email addresses and think about a newsletter, updates, news, etc... everything for a Boston Red Sox fan.

6. Maybe you can think about moving the box score somewhere toward the top. What do you think about that?

7. It seems that there is clutter at the bottom of the page. I think they are great tools, but maybe it would be better to spread them out a little or put them in relevant pages.

I am a bit picky, so sorry if I have a long list, some of which may not be important to change.

Hope you find this helpful.

I agree with what ssmorgan mentioned. The biggest issue I found was the amount of clutter. As I scrolled down the page I couldn't figure out what the focus of the page was. The page also loaded slowly for me because of the additional controls and images.

I would keep you home page small so it loads quick, and move some of the additional items to other pages.

Lot's of good work to get this all going.

I agree with Sherif on the centering of text. Don't think that works well.

All the action pieces look good individually but gets just a little much. For example, if just the lobster was toward the bottom where all pics are stills, it would tone it down a lot. If that's a paid ad it might not be a good alternative.

And yes, the bottom looks a little cluttered.

Overall, looks like you've got a good thing going. Could draw a lot of interest.

Hi All!

Thanks for the comments and I agree with the amount of "stuff" on the bottom. I do feel as if I have these widgets and things and just wanted to store them until I figured out what to do with them.

I will work on that as well as the text centering and report back next week.

Again, as always, thanks for your comments!

Nice place for FenWay park fans! I like the wave of the header images. I see vision with it and the top wave of the header.

Things to consider:

As ssmorgan and James has mentioned, you'd want to reconsider the centered text and make use of the white space available to you.

The navigation menu is not easily accessible. In fact, I almost missed it. It's below a logo and ads. I would like to see that more visible nearer the header for accessibility to more of what your site has to offer.

I agree that the footer is busy. To tone it down a bit, think of the average visitor of your site. Do you think the average user really cares how many visitors you've had today or more about what your site has to offer?
