Layout.

I manged to finish a layout for a comp that I have entered on sitepoint. Just wondered what you lot think of it.

Note Logo is just dummy there and this is the home page not the services page. I just wanted t show the navigation.

Note its a link because the image is pretty big.

No feedback yet =(

Not bad really, navigation could be better though. Perhaps increase the height of the sub navigation, and for the links that are not selected, unbold them.

Also try lowering the opacity of the gradient in the content area.

Apart from that it's a good start.

Thanks Adam, I will work on that now.

Updated version.

First version's better imho except for the bottom part. I do like the design and the colors, but the text arrangement, organization and in some places the 'color's could of been blended in better.

Thanks for the feedback. I have edited certain areas again and the colours. I prefer this now.
Here is the reised version.

Not bad, kind of boring though. Just seems like a few blocks of gradients and drop shadows. For example this site http://www.the9513.com/ is basic, but is unique and has more character.

thanks, I will take it on board. Just a note this is only my third full layout design.

Two more things I forgot to add to my previous post are that you should give the site text a left alignment and probably fix it that it doesn't look lame having that much space inbetween each letter. Second point is that the copyright text could be better in bold? Maybe also stick the copyright part to the left.

Other than that, you're moving alright.
