Wow, if this really is your first it's a good one.
Myself as a newbie i was satisfied with making a few boxes with border and add some
texts in the boxes

Eitherway back to topic.
I would encourage a little lighter text color since in some parts of it it's hard to read.
For example at the top-right part of it i need to really look close up in order to see
what it says. And in some other parts of the site as well.

Otherwise, i got to say i like the layout of it and the color theme black/orange-ish
is always appealing to me.

All in all it's a good job but the text needs to lighten up a bit so its easier to read.

Do you know how to code it?

Thats a very nice design - Great job! My only concern is black is not very professional. If this is just a fun website then you should be fine. Just with a professional website your website needs to be appealing to everyone (all ages).

It is definatley my first, but, wont be my last. Thanks for the great comment



Unfortunatley not, lol, another thing on my to do list.



I agree, but, as a first design i wanted to do one that i personally liked the colours of, thankyou for the great comment

This one is a hell of a lot better than the neon one you designed, this is a great little layout

Good job!
