I like the color scheme. Graphics are nice. I have a problem with the text tho. Too overwhelming. You should add a break or two of white space between paragraphs so that the text doesn't look so much like you're reading a dictionary. If you don't want to make the page longer by adding white space, break it up into several pages.

Also I think a centered page is easier on the eyes than a left-aligned page.

That's it!

thanks alot
I agree about centering page but I am testing CSS div techniques that make code smaller, seo frinedly and also - xhtml compatible (soon) ... and probably my skills are not so good to center it :) but I'll try .. thanks again
another question: it's about css - how to make heading in div not getting out of borders if div is 450 px ... heading make it look bigger
now it is:

Code:

#content {
	position: absolute;
	left: 0px;
	top: 165px;
	width: 530px;
	z-index: 4;
	padding-left: 7px;
	padding-right: 19px;
	text-align: justify;
}

thanks in advance

Arpecop,

I can tell a lot of work went into the site, and you're making great progress. A few things you might want to consider:

The home page is definitely too long and too packed with text. I'd put more marketing-oriented copy on the home page, and direct the visitor to other pages that address specific issues. Its not clear to me what the objective of the site is. Are you selling services, products, or just sponsoring a forum?

Having two navigation areas can be very confusing. I'd put them together, probably on the right hand side since the links at the top of the page disappear into the header.

When you are on the forum, or the What is Web Marketing pages, I can't find a way back to the home page.

I noticed the download for Web CEO, but I have no idea what it is or why I'd want it. You need to explain that.

Actually, If you're going to leave the site on the left (and we all know about those pesky coding issues), I'd put the navigation on the left so that the main column would be more toward the center of the screen.

If you don't get a good answer to your CSS question, try posting it in the Web Programming part of the forum.

You've got a great start! Hope this helps

Kathleen

great review ... these are my tasks for today

It's hard for me decide what kind of visitors I am taregeting .. I like the concept of webproworld .. it's friendly and makes me to come over and over again .. sites with - About Us ... Services .. etc. are commercial and there is no "We provide" in my site cause I am alone. Suggest me some structure for this case
the only two categories I think is : forum and News with some marketing articles updated data make visitor to bookmark pages ...

This is a nice clean looking site, only two things i would say about it

1. far too much text on the home page, I would open it with a brief description of what your doing an leave the rest in links, that much text on a home page would immediately scare me off.

2.I think this would be much better if you used a liquid layout, as in have the page stretch right across whichever resolution the user has.

Hello again,

Its really critical that you choose your audience and your objective. If its a forum, then I'd make that a clear focus. You can't be successful trying to meet multiple objectives.

Analyze this one to see why you like it. For example, you notice the header contains a clear statement of what the site is about -- no guessing. The home page has a lot of info, but in short blocks with links to more info. There is enough "white space" so that it doesn't feel really crowded.

I'm sure you'll notice other things, too. And, look at other forums. Pick the things you like the most and incorporate them into your site.
