  Old  New Template [WIP]

Hi guys

I've been working on a template, which I will either use for my personal site or sell (undecided at the moment).

It's not finished just yet, but i'd like to know what you think of my progress so far?

It's nice.. but it doesn't make me go; wow!

it's all good designing something that looks nice, but if it's not unique, then what's special about it? try and add some of your personal flare. you say you're a creativist. prove yourself right!

Looks okay. Though you should add some more creativity to it. It's blue and white only. I have that issue too, when creating a layout. When I have two colors I mainly just use them, which imo is my biggest self issue. I want to use others but having problems doing so.

I think the the biggest wow factor you have to have is the homepage. The portfolio is very important indeed, though homepage is the first sight. If it's ugly or just messy, people would mostly just close the window.

Put in some more flavor and creativity and it will work fine. It's not "wow" layout but neither is it a "urgh".

Man, I talk to much. I got problems explaining myself. ;P

Cheers

I love the colors! When you add in some template thumbnails from your portfolio, I think it's going to look great!

Thanks for the comments guys. I know exactly what you mean about the layout being ever so slightly bland, but i'm struggling for ideas. I guess it's the price I pay for spending so long without designing anything.

When i've found a way to 'spice' the design up, i'll post another preview.

Thanks again for the comments
