Where to go from here?

Hi ya guys and gals.

EDIT: Here is an update, http://www.talkfreelance.com/viewIm...3&fullsize=true

I'm a bit stuck at the moment, I thought I should do a little more designing since I'm getting kinda bored now so heres what I'm working on.

I have started this design, yet I seem to have lost what I should do next. As is kind of obvious, it is looking kind of empty and plain (the lower half). I was aiming to try something a little more different, after getting bored with the typical CSS layouts which are now becoming common place here.

I am also in two minds about the colour, when I have looked around at typical 'black and white contrast' sites I find they are always using green or orange. I did try something different with this darkish blue but I am not too keen on it. Although a couple of those I have already shown it to think it goes well, comments on this and suggestions for other colours would be welcome.

Your thoughts on the site in its current state would be greatly appreciated. However suggestions for what I should do would be invaluable!
