Well, I finished the new design over a week ago but after I put it up I noticed it wasn't displaying correctly in IE 6.0,7.0 and Safari so I made some tweaks. Finally got it all fixed and would love some thoughts on my new design. Suggestions for improvement are especially wanted.

Very nice; it has a small logo which puts it down. You have a good color scheme going and it is quite fast to browse all in all a good site in my opinion.

Menu text blends too much with the background, and the pink doesn't go well with the gray.

It's alright... Nothing original or outstanding.

Clean and organized site. Like the colors except for that pink in the navigation. I like the mouseover for the nav. The logo is a bit small.

i dont like the header, but thats about all, the rest is perfect. The logo i didnt even realise was a logo until i read it file name lol. The menu is nice but not with the current header. Spice things up a bit, doesnt have to be graphic intensive, but doesnt have to be a desert either lol. Anyways great job.

Thanks all for the input! I'll be looking into a new hover color for the navigation as well as the links on the site. Not sure what color I'll go with. I'll also change the text color for the tabs so it is easier to read.

I'll just go back to the drawing board completely for the logo. Never been good with those but I'm sure I can come up with something larger.

I'm confused, what are you considering the header exactly?

i'd say the grey and green bar with grey scanlines is the header.


it's all okay, i dont like how everything looks 'sharp', flat and sharp. maybe if you added more-noticable gradients and lessned the white inner outline on each object a little less...


and that looks like purple to me?...

From the green bar up i would consider the header sorry, the actual gray area itself, seems very barren, maybe this would fix itself with a bigger logo, i dunno. As i said before love the rest of the site though good job ^_^

The think the layout looks and fuctions great, and the colour scheme has grown on me. However, I'm not to keen on the 'five' logo, as it just looks like its floating randomly and the grunge/emboss feel to it contrasts with the rest of the website.

It looks good, too little of a header but otherwise it looks really good. Keep up the good work!
