Default Looking for feedback on my new site

I have recently built this site (just over 2 weeks ago). The site is designed to help people with computer issues. It has how tos, articles explaining interworkings of computers, technical dictionary, etc.

What do you think about the layout?
The content?
Does it flow well?
Any things you think should be changed?

Don't hold back, any criticism you can provide will be a wonderful help. Thanks to all in advance!

seems more like a blog but the simple design is working for me. one thing though the cool stuff i dont really know how much thats going to help any one with computer problems.

and with a topic like this your going to have to built alot ALOT more content, even though it seems like u have alot already computer's could have tons of problems and addressing them will require alot of content. i also like your how to sections the video's are provide good guidance. but maybe u should put the video's inside your content instead of all the way at the bottom cause i would of missed them if i wasnt really interested in your site

^agreed with fastpc

Also, i'm not digging the title logo too much with the lightning going through the letters. But I like the idea behind it. Make a new logo, with lightning pointing around the title (not through). That should make the title stand out a bit more

Thanks for the feedback, This will really help me to tweak my website design. I'm going to drop the cool stuff page, change the title up, move the videos some, and add LOTS more content. I have my work cut out for me but I think they are all very good ideas!

Default A couple of thoughts

Your content is new and I suspect you will be revising and updating it for quite a while so I won't get into that. Getting the site to look professional is your first concern at this time.

There are several layout and design issues to look at. Some are somewhat serious.

The most important is that your site is not clearly identified. Not at all. The name "Electrical Fusion" does not really tell people what the site is about. Even your first paragraph ("This site was designed to help ones who have technical questions find the answers and the tools that they need.") is really vague. It could just as easily be describing a site about automobile electric repair or nuclear power generation as one about computers.

It is easy to miss something even as essential as this when you are familiar with what you are doing. You know but others do not. Nothing is more important for you to fix than this. Not only is it unclear to humans, but search engines will not be directing the right people to you either since they will be looking at your first heading (Welcome to Electrical Fusion) and site title (Electrical Fusion) as the top key words for search.

I would look at the content in your post description and use something like this to write a subheader line, either within the header or just under it:
Quote:

Some other things to look at:
  1. The header is not as wide as the rest of the body. It should be of equal width.
  2. Line spacing needs adjusted. Current spacing is too much for the type size and the type is a little small.
  3. The header height is a little too large although if you add a subhead line inside it should be OK.
  4. There is too much space below the header before the first text appears. Tighten this area up.
  5. Text and background lack a little contrast (especially in the navigation)
