Re: FN-FORUM: site template

If you want a comment from a pure design aspect then TBH it looks awfull,
everything about it is aesthetically displeasing.

The tonal shades of colours do not mix giving a dull muddy appearance.
The line texture confueses (and makes my head hurt).
Over states make small jumps.
Visited states colours are not bold enough.
Header does line up correctly.
Header seems streched.
Top menu seems random and not well thought out.
Bevel affects around the side menu look very early 90's.

You need a lot more thought on the layout, it looks like you have got single
column div template and just dumped some stuff in it.
Keep it simple for eg. keep the top menu on a single line.
Keep colours down to a min. Start off with 3 colours and use these for the
entire site. maybe look at http://www.colorschemer.com/ or
http://www.colorcombos.com/combolibrary.html for some ideas for schemes.

all tested with ie7

If thats not what you wanted then just ignore me.
thanks
