Color scheme and especially the header artwork of this style is quite pleasing. The logo/header elegantly represents the purpose of the site by drawing a silhouette of a man, with a hat no less suggesting a kind of personality, and underlining the blue-white title of the site. The man is blue colored and thus the word representing "his" biography is too. That's pretty nice work.

Aside from that however, the design of the site is based on a theme I've seen in some of the previously reviewed sites. It contains an elegant distribution of teaser blocks in the main content area of the homepage and other article lists with a simple sidebar on the left. It looks and feels quite modern and does a good job at presenting the content in a pleasant manner.

There are however some of the same issues I've noticed with this kind of theme before. Namely, teaser blocks cut the titles and teaser text in middle of a sentence and sometimes word and seem to have a surplus of white space below the teaser and the "read more" link. The gray bar of the home link as well as the color of the search box input field seem a little too dark for their current background being almost indistinguishable on some LCD monitors (albeit depending on angle and settings).

I also typically suggest that a search widget be put on the gray bar with the home link, allowing the spacing between the header artwork and it to be reduced, putting more of the content above the fold and also creating some free space for a possible banner ad in the header area.

Other than that there isn't much to say except my usual comment on square ads inside of article content which, while not always, sometimes sit on top of each other creating a rather large disruption to the content flow.

I could only suggest, if further look and feel improvements are to be desired, to add teaser images both to teaser blocks in article lists and on article pages themselves.

Design Rating: 9/10

Focus:

Since it has a descriptive name the focus of Biography Archive is apparent, not that a nice welcoming about page wouldn't be a good idea. All of the content on the site is nothing but just that, biographies. Enough said.

Focus Rating: 10/10

Content:

This site contains a pretty impressive number of biographies, total of 241, covering people from politics, music, actors, business people and so on. Articles are fairly short and present a relatively condensed overview of these people's live usually with sections starting with early life including time and place of birth and continuing with their an overview of their life journey, special achievements or remarks.

I have a feeling some paragraphs could be split into shorter ones in some articles according to a sample I took a look at. But other than that I think their overall length and splitting into sections makes them fairly easy to follow.
