MedicalSymptomsGuide.com looks somewhat like a standard blog, tightly knit and with a pleasant color scheme, but somewhat burdened with ads. It might in fact be a little too tight as it could use a little bit more margin left and right to the main content as well as between the title area and the category and comments area. It might be worth considering making the width of the site fit 1024x resolution rather than 800x given that only a low single percentage of screens use 800x resolution nowadays. A larger width could allow for larger margins making the site's design look fresher and more spacious.

The main menu styling with only a link to "home" makes the menu blend in too much into the background making the tab on which the link lays almost indistinguishable. Perhaps the background color of the tab could be darkened a bit, using some sort of bluish gray so it is more distinct.

Another thing that is noticeable is that there are no listings of categories yet there is a listing of recent entries. Since five of these recent entries is already shown on the homepage it seems like it is a less optimal choice than putting the listing of categories instead. Of course, alternatively both could be present, but categories should probably have a priority. I would say both should also have a priority over ads as well, but even if the ad at the top of the sidebar was kept, perhaps a vertical banner or a small square would suffice rather than skyscraper?

In any case design is decent and does the job. These suggestions may close some of the issues, but it wont make it overly impressive. Perhaps the nicest thing of all, aside from the color scheme, is the golden plus/cross logo.

Design Rating: 8/10

Focus:

Relatively long name spells out the focus of the site as a medical symptoms guide in addition to the slogan, "your guide to medical symptoms" which really leave no place for ambiguity whatsoever. Content follows this purpose closely with "symptoms" in all of their titles. Again not much more to add or complain about here. An about page is a classic suggestion, but it's not a real necessity.

Focus Rating: 10/10

Content:
