Hi, I made a template for my site and I want you to review it and tell me what you think.

Thanks.

Nice simple design there Professor Bogey. The main text is a bit dark, maybe make it a light grey or white? Also you should make the header text smoother.

You should use div instead of a table though, it's easier... if you know CSS.

ok, thnx breeze, I'll fix the template.

I think they're just staying away for fear you'll steal their coins on Greed.

Edit: BTW, I think you should switch the background colour with the colour in the table, and use more than just blue :)

Agreed. I like the simplistic design, but all the blue is a bit much, and the red buttons don't seem to fit in (color-wise) with the rest of the page.

Overall, a nice start.

Yep. Find a nice design and play around with it until it's perfect.

I just don't like the header image, it looks a bit pixelated, or stretched rather ...

As you can see the colour of the menu isn't quite the same as the background, but that's in IE7 and IE's colours seem to be a bit off or something ...

Also 40 w3c validation errors ... click here to see them in action ...

Maybe also disable the link of the page that the user is on, and make it another colour ...

The menu text seems to be a bit small and cramped up (maybe I'm the only one who thinks so)

THanks, I took all of the advice into consideration and I will change the background color to blood red and darken the blues and make the font another color.

I'll see what I can do to fix the validation errors, I want my site to be 100% validable. Thanks for all of the reviews, more would be greatly appreciated.

Yes Righteous_trespassor, just for you I will disable the link that the users would be on :).

Thanks and more would be greatly appreciated.

I updated the index file only and I didn't bother with the others right now since they all look the same (until now).

The navigation buttons is just a test, I'm going to remove them and make my own buttons.

Is the text readable (at home page)?

Righteous_trespasser I didn't disable the link on the test, but I will on the other REAL buttons that I'm going to put there.

Thanks.

Yeah that's nice and readable ... I also think the red is nicer than just blue ...

I would need help on the buttons though. My photoshop quit working, I re-installed it and it still doesn't work.
