My first site

Ok , I changed the font on the front page , what you think ? I am struggling to change the line spacing though. I would have preferred it to me .25 bigger or does it look okay ?
 
In terms of web supported fonts there are tools to help you integrate nonstandard fonts into a CSS file correctly. Google's web font project provides a simple hook in and it's all free for instance. Check out Lato for a really attractive web font. However if you really need to cater for all browser possibilities, rather go with Verdana I think.

Thanks !!!! Excellent help , I will stick for Vardana for now but will def have a look this weekend into the google fonts.

You guys see why I first post here lol , so much to learn !! again thanks
 
remove your testing stuff "admin on Hello world!"

WordPress FTW

Avoid using CAPS on Title

Make the link in the footer clickable.

The nav looks a little odd with the mixing of the 2 styles.
The orange nav:hover also seems a little "out" as that's the only place it's used.
Maybe try the same light blue you have for "active" on "hover" too?

Or try drop the "tab effect" in the hover/active nav and only change the text colour from black to white on active and hover.
 
remove the "wordpress.org" link in the "Meta menu".

Does registering and logging in provide any extra functionality? If not, remove them too ..
Create a new user in the backend and have the posts and comments written by them so you don't have "by Admin" but "By Moegsien" (or whoever)

I doubt anyone would want to subscribe to the comments RSS feed, so remove that and make the Posts RSS an icon next to your Facebook and Twitter icons then remove the "Posts RSS" link.

When someone wants to comment, it does prompt them for a login/register, so you don't reeeaallly need the Meta box ..

Check the site with your browser at around 780px wide, you can probably add a css rule to make the "Recent Posts" and "Comments" blocks go full width.


If you do change your nav, remember to check it with your browser narrower.
 
The website looks good, gets the point across very well and isn't too cluttered. If this guy's market is other businesses, it would work well.

I would add a bit more to the right hand bar, maybe a slimmed down freedback / contact form? And perhaps an RSS reader to something specific to his industry. It's rather empty and doesn't look good. The "Latet Posts" widget could also be added to the right side bar. People expect to see it there rather than at the bottom of the homepage.

The "Services" tab should be the 2nd or 3rd tab, since this is probably why he's "selling".
Have a contact form, especially since the email address isn't clickable. And if he *absolutely* insists on using his email address, then at least setup an email address on his own domain and forward it to the mweb one. But, he should be using an email address on his own domain. it's more professional and many larger companies add value to something like this.
