    My first ever template :)

    I've just finished my first ever template:

    http://paperhub.x10hosting.com/siteone/notabs/

    I personally am not very happy with it, but the people I have showed it to before have said it's okay.

    So what do you think? Feel free to be harsh :D

    Re: My first ever template :)

    Looks really good!

    Few things to fix though:

    try redoing the logo/header... I don't really know what icfind wrong with it... I think it's just because, well, it's been done before. I have some logo templates you can use if you wish...

    Define the nav bar more. The whole design will come together if you make a graphic for the navigation. (I'd suggest a cut off rounded rectangle (to flow into the site). To do this (in Photoshop), just use the rounded rectangle tool to make a rectangle. Then, with the layer still selected, take the normal rectangle tool, and cut off the part you don't want using the (ALT) / (SHIFT) key(s). I honestly can't remember the exact ATM... It's 6 am..

    The gradient box in the top left: remove it. I love the idea of the gradient in the content box: but you should do it over the whole thing, using a much softer (but still orangey(sp?)).

    Those are my suggestions... But otherwise it's awesome!

    Yeah, I know about the weird menu error on the last one, if you know how to fix it then feel free to tell me how

    ~Callum

    EDIT: Please be extra extra critical of the last one, I'm actually going to use that one.

    Thanks
    I made all the graphics in Adobe Fireworks and I did everything else in HTML and CSS.
    What do you mean by "upload them cuz i could amke my own and not use the current 1"?
