Maybe the layout has changed, but I like it. The colors, design, and images are very easy to look.

I would create more navigation options. The only way to move past the first page is by using the top menu. Maybe do something on/near the images on the left so once you have hit on a reason the user can relate to they will sign up right then.

Good luck.

Hi

I really like your site. When the user visits they are greeted with a welcome note and on the right they have testimonials as well as a form for easy access to get an email address.

Perhaps for each page in the title you can have what page they are on, like "services" - I like how the navigation shows what page they are on. I presume it was handcoded as the extension of your file name is ".html" rather than ".php" - if you use php it can be easier to make a global change.

Maybe under "pricing & signup" you could have a button at the bottom of each column saying "signup" to make it really clear - instead of amongst the text. Also you could consider showing a graphic representation of the signup process to show how easy it is to sign up.

"...school. Lets you standout from your competitors when applying for IT jobs..." Starting with a "Lets" It sounds like a list put into a paragraph, maybe you could edit the opening paragraph to give it more flow.

I don't really like the animation under the "it domains" on the main page. Perhaps a nifty javascript rollover script could do something like that.

The navigation text is quite small, I suppose that may be a matter of taste. Remember accesibility. Can you make the top part where the header is, merge with the navigation and get rid of the white space before it?

Your site has no meta keywords or description as well as no style sheet (which can make changes much easier) and your images have no "alt" attribute. These things are important for search optimisation. You have no doctype on your page which makes validation hard - http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.itzoom.com/index.html

Well, I will start with the negatives; I think the font for the main text is slightly big, it looks very black and imposing. Also the logo could be more exciting, either more colours or maybe adding some 'graphic' into it would make it nicer :imho:

On the postive side, I have totally fallen in love with the right side navigation - the colours and design are SPOT ON! Way to go..

Hey,

Looks good but:

- I would get rid of the bold text on the first page.
- I would put that free space in your header to good use.

Oh and I would also add a DOCTYPE

Overall you did a preety good job. Congrats.

I think the bold text on the first page is good as it is. It is important to make it bold as it tells us what the site is about and what i can do for us, which is very important information IMHO.

The layout is simple but elegant and i believe your idea of giving IT jobseekers a better chance through the use of a professional email address is a very unique idea! :D

Good luck with your site! :tu:

One thing to highlight what's important and another thing to highlight important text and making the overall look of the site less good.
