My site is Victory Investments - Stock Investment Newsletter. Basically, I have a few specific questions but I am willing to take any other feedback you may have to offer. We've been a print only newsletter up until now but about a month and a half ago, we launched our Web site and offered online subscriptions. We haven't begun marketing yet and before we do so, I would like some feedback.

1. How is the font of my site? I design the site using a 1024x768 screen and the font looks fine on my computer but I have concerns that it may be too small. I'm assuming it won't be small on 800x600 resolution and will look fine on 1024x768. Am i wrong about this? Also, how will my font look on larger resolutions?

2. If my font is too small, which font size should I use?

3. How is the front page marketing material? Is there too much text? I have a lot of supporting marketing material on other pages. Should I trim the amount of text on the opening page?

4. Is there anything design related or in the code of my page that I could add/cange/remove for SEO purposes?

5. Do you have any other suggestions or comments?

Thanks in advance for all of your feedback!

Your test size is at the lower acceptable limit, but you have compensated by decent line spacing so it seems readable. Having said that I would prefer one size larger, especially if there are a lot of words on the page - ie the newsletter. Have a look around at other newsletters and see what you feel.

I would comment on the lack of h2 tags. The text would work better with h2 sub-headings, and they help a bit in search engines as well.

Your navigation is baffling. I had to start reading the text on the page to figure out what I had to do. Found the links at the bottom, but then realised you've hidden some at the top as well in a "not like a link" kind of way.

You seem to miss a few options in the nav bar at the top. I couldn't get back to home from one of the pages without scrolling down for the nav at the bottom.

I'd never hide potentially interesting text in images. Use CSS, tables, or anything to make the text search engine readable. I only noticed they were links by viewing the home page in a text browser.

Maybe the text is a little excessive on the home page. It'd work much better with structuring like you've done on some other pages.

thank you for the feedback. the text shows up fine on my screen but i did have a feeling that it might be too small so i'll go and change that. as for the newsletter itself, that is published in pdf format so it doesn't use the same font as the web site. i will look into using h2 tags and i will definitely try to make the navigation more straightforward.

thank you again.
