When I opened your site I thought on was going to the wrong website (Not good). The Microsoft metro style look is boring with the flat buttons and total lack of colour contrast.
Juan and team, Just a one suggestion revise your site look keep it simple pls. The sub-title Band is very awkward for me. You must adhere to MSA 15theme with a little blending of SQL SERVER 2012 theme and a little blending with SP 2013. And lastly give it a METRO STYLE effect.
MSA 15+SQL server express=ROCKS
MSA 15+SQL server+SP 2013= VERY EXPENSIVE not feasible at this time

Great content! Appreciate all you guys do! Not a big fan of the scripted font.
So i agree about the color on the right side as well. I do have to say I love the color scheme it’s different. Now to be a truly great website I would ask you to compare it with your competitors. What do you see that differentiates your website from your competition? Your website needs to look different make people stop and look at it. Take a look at Harley’s website for an example. Add something in there that states what you are that ends with EST example the Greatest.
While I like the layout reorganization, the scripted font with the drop shadows is difficult to read. I would suggest dropping the scripted font and using a different, clearer, serif’d font and leave out the drop-shadows. Just my opinion.

Why did you change it?
We changed the design again to make it look more modern. I like the new design better but thanks for your feedback!
Thanks everyone for your feedback!

Nice fresh look to the site Juan. Good job! I really enjoy your blog. — Ken
The font on the right site with the shadow is difficult to read, I would suggest you change that. I mean ‘connect with us’, ‘Pages’, ‘Categories’, …
We will fix it, thanks for the feedback!
