I appreciate the information you are bringing to your visitors, but I am concerned you are not showcasing your content in the best possible way. The main concern is how the high areas of contrast tend to take your eye away from the main content. First, my eye keeps moving toward the advertisement at the top. Second, it goes to the graphic images on the right sidebar – the colors on black are overpowering – and why am I checking out the social network icons? I should be reading your blog! Sadly, the last place I go to is the main content. Visually, the storyline is presented with the least punch. Choosing to use a sidebar and bringing so much visual appeal to it is not be working for you – you may consider using another theme or flip-flopping the areas that have high contrast.
We went with a symmetrical layout when we designed DomainStick.com. The point here was to ensure that focus stayed at the center – on the domain names and logos we are featuring. We also integrated some of the colors and feel with the background image. This is another thing I noted when visiting your site – the gray is SO uninspiring. This is INDIA! The land of colors, smells, textures, etc. I don’t mean to over-orientalize here and present such an essentialist perspective, but this site needs to jump out at you! I would hope to see a gorgeous colorful image, front and center… Watch a great bollywood flick for some inspiration…
Well, these are my thoughts. Hope this helps!
best,
Robert
