    General look is dated

    Posted on Jul 18, 2010 at 9:23 PM

    • General look: The website is about forward thinking as I understand from your description... but the design says the absolute opposite: it looks conventional, square, boring, outdated. Sounds harsh sorry...

      • Menu hierarchy: the main menu could use a different treatment than the articles submenu, like you had in the first draft
    • Horizontal Dividers: The ornaments between the articles are unnecessary, a fine simple line would enough and cleaner.

    • Google AdSense are a big distraction, that's not something you want emphasized with the use of the column imagery and double lined border.

    Spacing

    I feel like if this line of text was shorter (floated to the right, and smaller) you would get better white space between posts
