Well, its simple... Unless you intend to add images right.

Otherwise, its a basic template, you should add more images to make it more unique.

• A couple unnessisary DIVs
  
• The second heading should be an H2, not another H1
  
• Layout nearly put me to sleep

So the only real problem is that it's boring.

[Nick Presta]

What divs aren't needed? I only have 4 (Header, content, nav, footer)?

[Toad King]

The header and footer divs. Just style the single tags inside of them.

[Golden Djinn13]

You should make a custom picture ( basically a logo) to put with the heading. ( when you make it).

[Nick Presta]

I could just style a p tag, yeah.

[Andross]

It's bland . . . you can do better nick :/

[Kubjelle]

blah.. The colors doesn't fit.. And yes it is boooooooooorrringgggg..

[Nick Presta]

Blah, I messed around a bit (now that I'm running my own server, again).

p {
/*style here!!!*/
}

Nick: Well, the colors are better, but it is still pretty boring. And the color of the hover is kind of odd. If you want a plainly xhtml and css design, then use some cool features, like dropdown...

Hey Nick, hopefully you aren't secretly working for GamSpy under the name Tetsuo right? because I just happen to find this:

like exactly the same content =o

[Kubjelle]

www.lipsum.com
it's dummy-text

[Eugine]

I was wondering about that too, I see alot of web pages that are under construction using that.

[Mathak Kraven]

haha, generated until 200 paragraphs, fun fun fun.

[Nick Presta]

Lorem Ipsum.

It's latin and is used as dummy text to fill up space.

[Mathak Kraven]

Yeah I know now, generated until 200 paragraphs and wents spamming on a more secret forum with it, haha, used it to double post too. I could give a link but that's off topic so I won't.

Boring. Boring. Boring.

The colours are pox, try some more vibrant and different colours, but without going over the top. Also, a simple 4 div layout is just the epitome of boring. Add rounded corners, a more noticable background tile, and some god damn images. Your coding ain't, but remember, for dead links, use:

<a href="#" title="#">link</a>

Rather than no href value, as you can lose validity, or ###, as that sometimes doesn't work so well.

[Nick Presta]

Agatio, I'm now using,

[Elliott]

Then maybe it would have been smart to update the first link ~_0

I think this is, if possible, worse. No images, boring colour scheme, or lack thereof, ugle fon,t navigation system is annoying, and you guessed it, ugly. Maybe it's better if you don't ask for design critique, and just get coding. The coding is good, but maybe fix up your line indenting a little.

[Nick Presta]

It's not my fault I don't know how to design!!!!

Agatio/Andross + me = teh terr0r

[Elliott]

So you know:

@ Designing: Andross > Me > You ;)

I'm still a wannabe web designer at this stage.

...and I think you're better off sticking to coding than a designing Nick, no offence intended.

[Andross]

I think he knew that already XP

I think his recent design is nice and clean though. It's more attractive than the previous one.

[Nick Presta]

I know I can't design worth a crap - that's old news :P
