I am unsure if this is the correct place to ask such a thing but I am wondering how my design and implementation is. This is my first website and I am totally new to web development! I could use usability, design and code tips. Any and all are welcome.

My site is located here. Thanks!

Welcome to Code Review! Since this is about code you'll need to add some code to this question for people to be able review it. – James Khoury Aug 4 '12 at 4:51

Also, you may consider changing your user name from "Google" to something less confusing ;) – Eric Bréchemier Aug 4 '12 at 15:08
Thanks-- I guess I should have posted this on UX. I missed that exchange when looking them up. – Google Aug 4 '12 at 15:34

I am not trying to actually give a complete answer, but I would say: - the font used for writing is quite not easy on the eye (people shouldn't make an effort to read on a website... most won't read it) and the background actually makes it harder to read - try to make it look a little more proffesional - try to also incorporate a blog with different announcement, it is easier to follow that a forum But on how to improve usability you should ask specific questions on http://ux.stackexchange.com/

For code tips, you should place actual code.

You should not constrain the height of the page to the detriment of the usability.

For example, in the Tutorials page, the list of Installation Tutorials is partly hidden and a second scroll bar is displayed to scroll just this list. It would be better to let the list flow and allow users to see the full list by scrolling the page instead.

You should let the contents define the height of the page.
