: How can I make my headings stand out and Cyrillic text easier to read? I have designed a web page that looks like this: I'm not a designer, and neither is my boss but he has asked me

I'll take a shot at it. You need to simplify, there's way too much going on. We really can only judge it on the visual aspect as most of us don't speak the language, but I'd guess it's a website about health and the human body - if I'm right then you've at least managed to communicate that - if I'm wrong you need to rethink your graphics.

A few points I'd consider if I were you:


The header is very elaborate (I'd even say it's nice), therefore you should simplify the body.
Get rid of the blue background and dashed border around the content box and make the whole background white to give the text and other elements some breathing space.
The backbone graphic is just weird, I get the concept that the navigation is the backbone of the website (I think), but it's still just weird. Lose it or improve it.
Lose the gradient on the navigation buttons, make them one flat colour or a very simple gradient. Also the arrow shape is odd as it's not pointing to anything relevant, I'd make them plain rectangles and make sure they are all aligned perfectly, not adjusting to the shape of the image.
Don't justify the text and get rid of the italics, or choose a sans-serif font. Italics on a serif font make it very hard to read.
Add some padding around the text, it's too close to other elements.
It also appears that the white part behind the text in the header is not symmetrical, definitely fix that unless it's intentional.


After doing all this, it should look much more simple and then you can look at adding more simple elements. Just my two cents, I hope it helps.
