I think the home page looks great, the logo looks good and doesn't take up a lot of header space, the navigation is easy and user friendly. The featured box also looks great.

The only thing I don't like is that the footer is very busy. I think you should think about removing the adsense and spread the word columns from the footer it just makes it look a little spammy.

Hey bro, I am just sharing my personal opinion here. Not to hurt you or underestimate you or your site. These are not even advices. Just some honest view or opinion and what I think about your beautiful website.

Logo – nice but I think you can do better here.
Color Combination – I think that is perfect and great.
Utility – fantastic. Very useful and good some interesting tools. People should like this site.
I liked the clearness of your site and speed is very good. Over all 4.5 out of 5.
Good luck brother.

Okay, I'm going to try and give a thorough review here.

First Impressions

What should I be looking at?

Design

The logo could be better. I'd pay someone here or at digital point to come up with something that resembles a microbe (germ, of course) or a disease symbol.

To focus the design I would move the navigation above the logo. I would also have just one map without the fading, or make the fade slower. It's kind of hard to see what's being offered when the front keeps changing.

Overall I think the design could be more dramatic/bold given the kind of topic it's on. Maybe use bolder colors or have a background other than white for the map section on the homepage.

The site is pretty cool, otherwise

Logo is wayy to simple. A simple $15-20 redesign of logo could boost up your site. The graphs are really amazing. The featured links part with adsense looks a bit wierd. The menu and other placements are good but I still find it weird you have a facebook login when it doesn't seem like one needs to login. Overall it is a great site.
