- What's good
While I don't know much about what you're talking about, I quickly understood what's the purpose of this website
- What should be your first priority
Your goal is to have the highest number of people signing-up. Focus on that. Reduce the clutter. Improve your signal to noise ratio. Have a look at some of Edward Tufte principles (in his own words "Make all visual distinctions as subtle as possible, but still clear and effective.")
- What's wrong but can be fixed
Well as almost everyone said, it's not a design up to our standards in 2012. But this should not be a problem. It seems that you're usign Drupal. I'm quite sure there's a Drupal Bootstrap module. Just moving your design to Bootstrap will be a huge improvement. You'll be free to fine-tune the design later.
