what do you think of this site: THRComputer - Spyware Removal - it provides some information about spyware.
I appreciate any comments about the site

Sorry it's taken a couple of days for anyone to get around to reviewing your site, Victor.

The overall design is pretty solid. Simple, but straightforward. I like that.

However, there are a few issues, and a couple of things I would personally change.

First off, the blog needs to be skinned correctly so its design is consistent with the other pages. I know this can be difficult with many blog programs, but the consistent look is worth the effort.

Also, there should be some indication that "Free Spyware Scan" leads to an external web page. Here's one such image:

Other than that, there only two things that I would personall change. First off, I would center the whole page. Second, I would change the rollover effect on the menu from what you have to the background and foreground colors swapping. You can see an example of what I'm talking about here: Churches of Christ Online.com

Looks fine but I thought it looked like a newsletter email more than a webpage. Maybe you would benefit from adding more design elements? Also Firefox shows these warnings:

I would recommend you use the target="_blank" attribute on those external links in your menu. That will open them in a new browser page and you won't lose your traffic.

There are better ways to list your articles, also. I recommend using an unordered list

    with the display set to block and maybe floating it left. The old-school table and borders compromise readability.

As has been mentioned, the blog should match the rest of the site. It's centered, but the rest of the site floats left. Inconsistency is hard on your perceived authority.

Also, the header should have a link back to the index. That way, you can just click on the graphic to go home.

It's a nice site, though, with lots of useful information. It just needs a little fine-tuning. Smiling

In 1024x768, everything is aligned left. Center everything, and I give the site an A+

Not bad, although I'm not a fan of the yellow. The header hurts my eyes, but otherwise, nicely done.

Great Site.

I like the removal section.

One thing, I used 800x600 and had to use the horizontal scroll bar just a little..
No big deal, I just figured that a lot of people under a spyware attack may be running their machines in safe mode which can sometimes default to 800x600 resolution on some machines.

I bookmarked your site, very cool and informative.

None of your images are loading.

Pages like your articles page could look better out of a table and as a list, or at least turn table border off (border="0").

Layout wise is hard to till as no images are showing, but content wise I was all looking good until I came across "for only $29.95". You have a tough job ahead of you with spybot and adaware and other top (free) programs.

good luck

I like this site. Good information to read about. One thing I noticed was that, in Opera at least, the top banner on the blog page extends past the window that contains the text.

As an older user I found it easy to follow what you were about and the links were easy enough to understand but ..... When I went to the news section I thought I had gone to another site.

I appreciate I dont know much about web design but as a user I can give imput on the feel of a site.
