This is my first go at an arcade template. I took a free one and modified the colors and images to better suit my site. I would really like honest feedback to know what to improve on for next time. All my wife will say is that she hates the colors

I would lose the sidebars and maybe make less changes in the color bands on the banner. The navigation looks as if it was just thrown in there, make it into buttons or all on one line instead. That's just my 2 cents.

The design is good but if you want to earn more from Adsense here are my suggestions:
- Put the Google ad on top
- Change the link color to blue
- Put an image (not too close) beside it

thanks for the quick feedback.
ineedalife: you say I should drop the entire sidebar? are you talking about a single column design?

henry: yeah, i know i need to work on my ad placement. I'm just not sure about using images to sell my ads. Is this really cool with google's TOS?

I would do kinda like what blogger.com does, instead of having sidebars to set apart the site, I would just make a drop shadow on it instead.

I would add more colors to it. Get a background. Better logo. And make it more playful looking.

hey,
great content, personally i think the layout is a little to spacious, maybe bring the boxes a little closer together.
and like jprgm said, get a background lol ... possibly a pic or a gradient.
as for colours, maybe change the backgrounds of the boxes from white to a lighter shade of grey possibly #9B9B9B.

other than that, site is awesum!

Way to much space IMO. Color choice is not bad. You are one of the thousands of arcade sites out there, which I think is very competitive, so I would look at other site layouts, and not nessecarily copy them, but take some tips on what makes them easy to navigate, what makes them fun, etc. Unfortunalty, on your site, unless you are into a game, there isn't anything else special about it. Anyway, at least your wife looks at your designs

Ya, its way to spacey, everything needs to be closer together. Also keep in mind that yahoo does not allow you to place images near your ads, its against the TOS.

Too many ads mate - don't go full on, get them blended and get them more spread out.

IMHO, try to reduce the whitespace. The rounded corner boxes look great but you need more of them.

lol, no. But I usually like her opinions.

Thanks for all the responses. The site will be undergoing some big changes soon.

Looks good. How can I get an image rollover popup thing like that for my sites?

i've made a lot of changes since I last posted. I bought a psd template from a user here and coded it myself (still a few bugs to work out though). Any thoughts on the new design? thanks!
