    Change the header.

    every time i press on back i have to watch that animation till i can press on another button, thats really annoying.

    but for the rest it looks ok.

    i like it, i would change the side bars, they're a bit too dark and stand out a lot, make them a lighter color.

    yeah the flash needs to be changed... there's so much potential with flash links, but tbh that is the most boring links Ive ever seen :(

    EDIT: oops... :D

    It's not too bad i think the colours could do with changing but thats not the point. Your template is pretty good, like the flash

    It feels that you are more into advertising than taking critics ....

    Header is horrible imo..

    1 out of 10? I think its pretty safe to ignore this guys rating. Unless of course it was different than what I'm looking at now.

    I'm actually going to not even comment on the design aside from that. What I need to point out is an issue with your coding. You used a little technique I normally call "div whoring." <div> isn't the only tag out there. Your code should reflect the content and meaning of the content, which using <div> tags doesn't achieve. For example, use a the header tags instead of <div>s styled to have big text. It's referred to as semantic markup.

    You also need to close your link and input tags.

    Should be, for example

    <link [attributes here] />
    <input [attributes here] />

    not,

    <link [attributes here]>
    <input [attributes here]>


    Additionally, you can only use an ID once on the page. If you need to use it multiple times, it should be a class.

    You also wrote

    </ body>

    instead of,

    </body>

    Looks good!

    Only thing I would like to comment on, is that there is too much white "free space".. Too much scrolling down. :blink:
