Hi there
A few comments on your website. I'm not a huge fan of the lozenge / rounded everything aesthetic, but that's a personal thing.
Design
- There are some empty sidebar containers showing on the homepage - one under the search and one just above the Facebook box for instance. These add unnecessary visual clutter and you should remove them.
- The read more buttons should have hover states (as the search button should).
- The blog snippets on the homepage seem a bit cramped. I think that's because the excerpt is too close to the title. At the very least the blog excerpts should line up with the thumbnails. You could also remove the bold formatting.
- The Get Social icons may not need to span two lines. The youtube one could easily sit on the same line as the others and still stay within the boundary.
Development
Page Speed rates the homepage as 66/100. Peeking through the source I knew it wasn't going to be great because you've got a ton of scripts and stylesheets loaded individually. You want to bundle these together so you ideally have one script and one css file. Less http requests is a very good thing.
Also minify everything and gzip the output. You can use W3 Total Cache and a CDN-like delivery service such as CloudFlare to optimise the site. It'll make it load much faster.
Good luck!
cheers
Anthony
