Fresh, cool and perhaps even somewhat futuristic Who Invented It dot net looks quite appealing. The header has some simple eye candy in form of a blue background gradient and white and shadowed title written in a modern soft font type. The smooth shift between blue and gray adds it that bit of futuristic feel as these two colors are typically used to create futuristic settings. After all, inventions are a big part of what makes our future what it is.

I also like the rounded corners at the bottom.

The upper part of the main white area contains a nice horizontal menu on gray gradient background with white round tabs on hover. All categories fit nicely into this bar except one which is ironically "uncategorized". Perhaps it doesn't need to be displayed here or could be removed and move content in it to other categories. Otherwise it does ruin the horizontal menu experience a bit.

There aren't many other issues, just a few imperfections. Some titles and teasers in teaser blocks are cut off, sometimes in the middle of the word or sentence. There seems to be a little too much space in teaser blocks as well below the "read more" link.

The site could also use a search box which would probably best be positioned on the right of the white bar above the horizontal menu containing the "home" link. Other than that I'm hard pressed to find other suggestions to make. Perhaps there could be less ads within content (like just one square box instead of two especially where the second one seems out of place next to the "share and enjoy" widgets), but unlike some other similar sites I reviewed they're a little less problematic in these articles. While this site also appears to be based on an existing theme some of the other sites I've seen use, it seems to be much more customized and thus appears much more unique. For this type of site it also seems to be working quite well.

Focus:

WhoInventedIt.com is another simple content site with obvious self-explanatory name and titles. It's called "Who Invented It" and all of its article titles follow a "who invented x" format. I hardly need to say anything more so I'll just throw in a usual "it's never a bad idea to add an about page with some highlights and introduction" advice. There, I just did. :)

Content:

As far as the amount goes this site isn't lacking. There's whole of 234 articles to sift through, all about who invented what. Articles don't just tell you who invented it however, they also tell quite a bit more about the invention, its significance and history and other details in well written, but still not overly long winded articles. Inventions covered are also not limited only to technologies and specific material products, but a lot more including sports, professions and various cultural traditions.

If you're wondering about who invented something there's a good chance WhoInventedIt.com has it covered. It does need a search box however, as mentioned in the design section!
