Sorry, whats the issue?

I opted to use images for my nav bar buttons, and in doing so removed the real text. While Google is still picking up on them okay I'd prefer to add the text back in; however it may mean another redesign.

Replace the logo. Font choice too thin. Select a thicker font. Dreads are thick. Logo font should also be thick? Also, there should be more contrast. A logo should stand out.

Replace the tagline, 'The Community Network'. This means nothing. Why even have a tagline??

What's your focus? To sell products or is it the forum??
I'm assuming it's the forum since you are calling it 'The Community Network'.

If this is the main page you are shooting yourself in the foot. The main page should grab attention. What are you trying to sell - a Journey Plan?? Really?? (Nothing wrong with it but you need more. This alone will not convert your readers.)

Get some content on the main page!!!! Convert your visitors into readers/members. Give everyone a reason to register. A 'Journey Plan' is not enough.

Main Page Goals:

- Get people to visit internal pages
- Increase SEO
- Get people to register (participate)


Make sure you have Google Analytics installed and keep an eye out on your stats. If your main page has a bounce rate higher than 15% than your design is a BIG FAIL.
