Hi,

My site is http://www.thepayback.com/home.html Comment on any thing you can think of... wrip it to shreds. I'm going to submit to the Yahoo Business Express tomorrow so I want a very critical review. Again, any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day!,

1) Don't center all the text in the middle. I would use align="justify" in the tag. That would look better. Also, there is too much space between the left menu and the content area.

2) I like the icons on the top I guess, but the regular text doesn't look too good with it. I would make that part graphics.

3) There is a little too much text on the main page. I'd cut it down as much as you can, 'cause most people won't bother reading all of it.

I agree with what Justin said. I really like the logo and the icons, but the layout is not nearly as good. More structure and organization is needed.

Eek! You need to have a navigation menu on every page.

The large amount of text is a big problem here, especially given the lack of structure. Also, don't center paragraphs of text - it just makes it look disorganized and hard to read.

The graphics are nice, but the layout needs improvement.

But a not so funny design. Work on a navigational structure that you can implement on all the pages of the site.

What bugs me on this site the most are the font sizes and changes that occur spontaneously as you move down the page. Try to keep a defined, easy to read format for the text that doesn't use the current 6 (or more..) different fonts and font sizes. Perhaps just stick to the Verdana-style font throughout the page, changing font sizes just to highlight paragraph headers, navigational content, etc.

Other than that, I think you're all set on content so keep up the good work in that area. Smiling
