Looks good! Only complaint is that everything may be a tad too "big".

Exactly this. I don't know what resolution you're designing on, but this is what I see on my laptop. The layout looks like it would be decent if it were resized and I could actually see some content when first viewing the page. The size everything is now is ridiculously large.

I like the design, but I think you used to much spacing between the header image and the navigation and things are a tad bit large. Also, remember the content that is "Above the fold" should make the user want to continue viewing.

Not too bad.. A couple of things that stand out to me:

  • I'd get rid of the grey hover on the "Donate Now" link and other buttons. It's a bad color on top of the maroon.
  • There has to be a better way to lay out the mailing list signup. In fact, the whole "Connect" area should probably be removed. Or at least moved to the bottom somewhere. The site content should be the primary focus.
  • Might want to change the terminology for "More Videos".. Maybe to "More Media"? "Media" isn't clear enough that the content in that section is actually videos. It could be audio, photos, etc. Or if it is just videos, change the Media title to be more specific.
  • As specified above, reduce some of the bulkiness. At least so the rotating promo area isn't below "the fold".

I like it, but;

  • Like others have said, everything is a bit too big

  • I would move the facebook/mailing list area onto the sidebar. It pushes the first bit of informative text down the page far too much.

  • I'm not sure about the boxes at the bottom, above the footer. They don't quite fit with everything else on the page for me. I would have them look like the sidebar boxes. I would also remove the 'Click here' link and replace it with story titles where the date is currently, moving the date underneath. They don't really look like news snippets, I thought they were testimonials at first.
