Well. It's hard to read the site's dedication to your dad. It's too sad. I recently had a bad brush with my own mortality, and all I could think about was that I wanted more time with my 2 young kids. For now, I've been lucky. Anyway, I feel for your loss.
As for the site, I think the banner is great. But the content on the page needs help with the layout. It's just one item after another, but a better layout would put the content into two columns with a more reasonable amount of white space.
The next tip I would offer is that you can't state facts without research or citations to back 'em up. Well, of course you can, but you won't have much credibility. For example, under "cigarrette effects" you talk about teeth and gums, with an over-the-top graphic implying smoking causes teeth to look like an Orc from Lord of the Rings. I just don't believe it. I believe it yellows teeth. I don't believe it causes anyone I know to look like Gollum. So as a Web surfer, I have decided that the site isn't accurate, and I've moved on. As a person giving you advice, I would suggest that if you want people to believe you, it might be good to cite a source or two. For each assertion.
Anyway, congrats on putting up your site. I think it is an excellent way to honor your father. In time, it could be a huge help to many, many kids. Keep working on it.

Congratulations for your work. I've got a dedication for my grandfather on my main site
He won't see me getting my Shodan rank, but he's been by my side all the time.
As for the site ... you need to start working at it's "face" now that's set up. Try to play a bit in an image editor so that you can come up with a layout for it, cut it and then put everything together. It's a pity not to make the site look great, since you've already invested so much with it.
Should you need help and guidance, I'll be available
Ouch .. haven't seen the moderator's post.
I Apologise.
