Need help with designing ideas

this is what I currently have for my wedevoy redesign project. I said I will have a poll and I will, I just found it very difficult to photoshop that one... went straight to coding it.

The problem with that is that I don't know how to make the content box. I guess my creativity or something/whatever stops here. If anyone wants to contribute a little help and set me on the correct path to put the content box the correct way than it would be great. Thanks for all your help so far Greatly appreciate it.

I also feel like my logo needs a TON of work. Can't think of anything so far.

I always find that very mall things make quite a difference ... like maybe using another font for instance:

and maybe add a little padding to the text in the "login" box ... just like 5px or so ... and then make the corners of the login box rounded instead of completely square (if that's possible) ...

Thanks, I'll try that.

Also, how does the "template" look? I want to finally create one that works and not one that is a huge box of eye-candy *lol

Yeah I like it much more than some of your previous templates ...

What about the main content? I don't know how to put it into the design. I've tried a couple of things and I'm not happy with neither of them...

Also, why can't I have height be 100%? Like of the div it's inside and not of the whole screen?

I can't remember about the 100% thing ... have you tried adding "body{height:100%}" ... ?

About the content ... Have you got anything that would go into a left hand side menu? because I think that'd look good, or you could use what I'd like to call the "mozilla concept" ... with a 100% wide header, and the content that fits into a normal 1024*768 screen ... (980px wide)

Adding 100% height to the body doesn't do anything.

But if I put absolute positioning than it is 100% of the screen and not the div that it's in

I will have some left-content things that I would need to put on in there.

Bogey I think that navigation, sidebar, and content elements are the hardest details to flush out. You want them to be strong enough to be the center (but not so strong they are the only thing you see on the page) and you want them to be the same style but all the while different.

When I get stuck on styling I tend to look around and see what other folks are doing. Here are 2 sites I use. CSS Heros and Design Shack

I'm not saying steal ideas but at the same time its good to see how other people solved the same problems.

EDIT: Also give me some more info on what you are looking for in a logo.

@CXLink: That's what I've being trying... attempting numerous of things for the template and looked about... thanks for those tips and the link though... appreciate and will check out those links when I come home from work.

I don't even know what I want my logo to be, I just know I need a logo

I'm just thinking how to put in the content div in there and how to style it without ruining the design...

k so you need a logo. What do you want the logo to say about the site? or maybe a better question is what is the site for?

Also another good gallery is here.

The log in box is a little too big.
The color is a bit old.

I've uploaded the "finished" version of the redesign. I edited the logo a little bit but I'm currently thinking over a different logo... don't know how it would be or anything... I don't really like the current logo...

Any inspirational ideas would be great. Also, thanks CXLink for those links... I will look through them later on today after I'm done with some business

Thanks again for everybody's reviews, help and ideas on it. Greatly appreciated

Aside from logo, Are you done with the overall websites usability? i.e. functions, pages....?

No not really, you can post in threads, quote and start topics and I guess you can submit tuts but the usability SUCKS I will do some research and use a phpBB forum and use it's postings and viewings for tutorials. (Not subforums but like it's own page that I would have to create the page and database tables for). More work is ahead of me *groan* )

I can post?? Err...I'd like to visit your website soon. Nice coloring except when it's too Green, it looks a tad bit like Indian websites.

No offense, just personal point of view. After all, nothing's wrong with them.
