    Need opinions on this layout

    I plan on changing the layout of my site but I can't decide on anything really... I've been tweaking this design for quite a while now:

    http://www.cynicalgames.com/shh

    I want it to be a simple layout, but I'm not sure if I quite like what I have made so far, so that's why I need suggestions about what to change/remove/add to this design. There will be a graphical header image eventually, and the JavaScript hide/show comments things are probably going to be removed too. The background image (ie. the three squares in the bottom-right corner) will be diferent eventually as well.

    Thanks for any suggestions,
    --Cynical

    Thanks for the feedback . dharmil, I was questioning how much I liked the rollovers in the navbar as well, I likely won't keep it. I am also going to make it far less wide, I switched it from 600 px to 760 to try something out but I forgot to reduce it again...

    I LOVE IT! The simplicity is what gives it the 7.5 - 8/10 it deserves. All I can say is..WOW! I love the fact that it has no fancy colours and cluttered pictures. Now if only there were more sites like this. ;)

    Excellent design! It's a "no fooling" type of website with no images, etc, making it very simple for a user to navigate their way around. Some websites nowadays are so cluttered and full you can't find your way around it. I like the gray color scheme of it. Nice work! 9/10

    Dude, you have done a totally awsome job of making that website.

    I am not however so sure on the boxes at the bottom, or the comments bit either, but the rest is superb.

    I give it:

    9/10

    Keep it up dude

    Re: Need opinions on this layout

    Wow, I didn't expect everyone to like my design this much, thanks everyone!

    @ randomize: Those boxes at the bottom are going to be replaced by a pixel-y CG but will be more transparent so it won't be very noticeable. I am probably going to change the javascript on/off boxes to just links that bring you to a different page like the old site.

    Hopefully having less images will allow a better user-end experience for my visitors, and it certainly saves myself a lot of work! Thanks again for all the great feedback!
