You might start by getting away from referring to you users as 'guys', unless you are making a male-only site. If you have language like that anywhere near your site, there is a good chance you are turning off many potentially interested female users.

Oh .. sorry, I am not a native English speaker and in my society, such issues usually dont arise. But thanks for pointing out, I'll analyze all the content on my site from this perspective =)

That's quite understandable. In English, we often say 'guys' and it refers to everyone. There are more inclusive ways to speak, but it often goes unaddressed. In writing, it is much more alienating. Good luck with your project!

Thanks :)
