Any comments/critique really appreciated, here is my site: www.retouchproshop.com

I know what you're doing, and you'll be disappointed to discover that although MM forum links appear to dofollow, they're actually restricted from indexing in the back end, meaning this thread isn't going to help.

You know exactly what I mean don't you RamK?

comments regarding the website or the retouches?

the titel reads to me as if you are referring to the page. i really would advice you to reconsider a lot of the main points in your layout. first and most the structur. i can see that the alignment is off on a lot of things. for example under "retouching" the second navigation bar comes out on the left side. another really disturbing point are the corners. you have 4 different (maybe 5) different types of corners. the only ones that are actually round are the navigation buttons. the other corners are somethwing between round and cut off? (sorry for my english here i hope i can get my point across, if not i will look up the vocabulary needed)

the typography is another thing that actually scares me away from the site. and this has nothing to do with personal preferrence and taste. the line height is too small for this very very long line length. that is very hard to read and especially on screen you _have to_ make reading more comfortable since they eyes are way more stressed.

take a look at the text under "services" "why choose us" or "faq"are the very definition of a printer's nightmare. long lines like that make it additionally difficult for the reader to not accidently get into the wrong line when jumping from the end of the line back to the beginning of the next one.

another point is, that the texts are by far too long. why should anybody read this? seriously hardly anybody bothers with this long texts on the web if it is not some sort of interesting article or something i have to read. the poor hirachy and structur makes it even less attractive to read. following this is you typography also inconsistent and sometimes wrong.
for example under the point "why choose us" you have a free line between the headline and the body copy, whereas under the "services" there is no free line between headlines and body copy. on another note since you are using a lot of colons, there is no space between the end of the word and the colon.

right:
wrong :

i could go on like this regarding the typography but thats enough for now. another really big problem with the site is the inconsistency of the spacings. for example here:



but this occurs on a lot of other areas as well.


I hope you find that helpfull. I can give you examples and hints on how to increasy the typography and some other layout issues if you want that. but for the moment my advice would be to not let the site stay online like this. i would defintily not hire somebody with a website like this and i can only speak for myself here, but this is more damaging then helping buisness.

I agree with the above poster

I'm not the right person to be talking about websites because mine's been under construction for over 3 years

But I do think this site could hurt you. Retouching is about having a eye for detail and you're showing the opposite with your design.
