Review a newbie

[samnoyoun]

Hey,

I know squat about web design, but I have been trying to learn in the last month or so... I would really appreciate comments/suggestions for:
http://muaythai.me

Some of the pages are still under construction and the site is by no means polished... but this is a first effort...

over all looks good, there are some wasted spaces on left and right column

As for a minisite its good. Somethings that i would do if your goal was a minisite is make the a-store and your google ads blend in a bit more. If you make them look like they are part of the page and not some advertisement people are more likely to click on them. Plus i believe the google TOS only lets you have 3 google ad boxes on one page at a time. You have 4. This is not a big problem, just look in to some affiliate programs and put those up instead of the adsense boxes.

I would fill the sides in with some kind of API or feed that is automatic from a bigger site. Dont know if there is anything like this for the type of site you have but i would look in to it.

One more thing, make sure your color scheme reaches though out the whole page. I noticed that little logo in the top left is not the same color as the header. Make the page flow and draw the visitor in.

Good Luck!

Thanks for all this... Brilliant!!!
About adsense though, I thought it was 3 ad units and 3 link units...

I believe it is 3 units total, could be wrong...

I just checked... it is 3 ad units, and 3 link units... so 6 total.
