Hey every one, Im working on this web site that I started Last night.( worked till 4 am). I dont know if I was just tired or what, but Its just missing somthing.

I think its a good work in progress, however, its missing somthing. The Idiea of the site is to have free high quality web templets for any one. im not near being done, still working on the first page.

Please take a look, and give me some Web Design tips. I could use them!!
richter

thanks.

The navigation is too far down and written in very small text size.

You do not have a logo. Logos are useful because they help users remember your site (imagine trying to remember a site you visited a couple of week ago if they had no identity that you could relate with).

There is practically no difference between the size and color of your homepage, therefore it is really hard to tell what is more important and where should I start reading your site. Use different header tags (h1, h2, h3) and different text-sizes for different elements, this way the user can distinguish easily between the different sections of your layout.

As danosd mentioned, the navigation could use a lift, and you need a logo. The layout seems to be unaligned from the navigation-down aswell.

I think the green from the banner should return in the design some more.
Another thing is the navigation, like the others said. It should get a better placement and maybe a more complex design of it.

I agree with you, I think I need to refelct on the banner more. Im having a really hard time on the menu for what ever reason. I dont know why, what ever I do, seems to be a little kidish. A work in progress tho. Any more suggestions or sites that might give me better ideas?

Yeah - your menu could do with some work, and you might want to raise your content a little higher. Maybe move/love the text directly below the curvy header?

You might want to post this in the Website Review forum too.

Here's a BIG tip -- dump the 1997 tables for layout, the deprecated HTML tags, and use valid HTML and CSS. If you're going to provide templates, provide them based on CURRENT web technology, not decade-old technology and outdated HTML.

Correct your spelling - the word is TEMPLATES, not "templets".

Your menu, as already noted, needs to come up some.
Your text sizes are inconsistent.
Your pale gray text on white is not good contrast.

What's with the 3 <body> tags and the doctype in the middle of the source ??

The header design is cool.

Maybe it is just IE but there is a blank, black 2" at the top of my screen.

The copy above the menu bar needs to be bolder and cleaner. Boil it down to a few lines and grab their attention here.

Unless you are desperate for money move the message section up and insert whatever ads you use between it and news.

Use a spell checker. I can't spell worth a darn and I see a couple.

I'm not sure that I agree that the the side-bar menu is to low.
