    This is my site main design and layout (text and pictures have been changed): http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/2696/homepagei.jpg

    I'd like to improve the background. I want it to stay light (no dark colors) but white only is a little bit bland, in my opinion. Maybe a light background-image would be perfect (some kind of repetitive pattern? A gradient background?).

    Also, maybe the background inside the content div may stay white only and another color/bgimage could be used outside? I'm open to any suggestion!

    20$ for the winner. Contest ends september 7.

    Thanks!

    minneola24: I like it. It's clean. But would the shadow around the content div be easy to implement?

    I don't know how you would do that since I want the background to be nice for any screen resolution. I think more than one images would be required.

    Yes, I can make it into 2 images and the rest will be the pattern that will work for all small and large resolutions.
