Ok Ok.. It's Purple I KNOW... I don't need to be reminded of that but you don't see many purple sites around these days so I thought i'd give it a try, The design is not THAT good but it's my first attempt! I also know there is no banner to this design, as I couldn't think of nothing that fits!

What do you guys think? Also, How much do you reacon I could sell this for.. Willing to take offers from $5 upwards (Unique).

awsome but u need to loose some saturation on some points such as the main background (the one that is the background to the links and text box, make it a very dark grey but keep the gradient also do that with the top links!!!


Glad you listened to me about making things cleaner!

I think it looks alright, but there's one thing you could do better. You have a lot of empty space. Especially between the navigation and the content section. I think you should make the content section bigger so there isn't that much of emtyness.

I'm actually liking your purple design heaps better than the green one :) Very nicely done, although I think you could have moved the content area more closer to the left navigation

Good job :)

Templates sell for whatever people are willing to pay for them :)

Personally I am a great fan of CSS heavy minimalist pages and yours have far too much glitz and bloat and not enough content. Look at dell.co.uk, ebay.co.uk, amazon.co.uk for business examples and simplebits.com http://superfluousbanter.org/ and http://orderedlist.com/ for some examples of the blogs of some of the best webdesigners in the business.

My point is, if you were a company would you want that template and looking at the competition the answer would in my opinion be no because its too "siggy" for want of a better word, too much like a large forum sig and not enough like a professional design.

But maybe thats just me B)

Try and sell them but if you cant, look at whats out there, try a new design, rinse and repeat :D

After the vault unlocks it says "Opened successfully", Then "Loading site" and a progress bar goes from 0-100 in bout 2-5 seconds.

Couldn't you technically have it "loading" while the unlock animation plays.

Or is the "loading site" just for looks?

ahh i see what u mean, tht is there to make it look fancy if i were to build an ACTUALY pre-loader it would take a while for it to load lol.. It's just to emphasize on the fact that I design. If you understand what I mean. I could just scrap it all together but a up and coming business with no idea on webdevelopment would look at it and be like ooo that's nice.
