First Template, Please Rate & Perhaps Tell Me It's Value

This is my first template, took me quite a while to make as i've never got used to using photoshop, but what i would like is some honest ratings out of 10, 10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest.

I would also like to know if the template holds any value, money wise.

Thanks

it'S pretty basic and just grey.

when designing a webpage you should use a size of 1024 or even higher, you should also use some colors and don't use the ps text effects bc everybody can do that. I would recomend you to view some tutorials n webdesign and then try it again

 

Okay, Thanks

 

It is an start.
From here you must move on, and do an more complex one.

Cheers

 

Honestly? 2/10.

Try lowering the PS effects and make it a bit more simpler.

 

2/10, but its your first. keep on trying, read up tutorials, look at sites that sell templates, get inspired.
You will get there eventually, just keep posting your tries up on here for feedback, if no-one else helps, i'll be able to help!

 

Hi Natej,

For the first template it's O.K., as we all have started from something...
Just 2 advices: use more colors in your next templates, try to find a nice color scheme.
And when you design something, try to make your template optimized for coding, 'cause this one with it's rounded shapes can be used for site.

As for the price, it's invaluable It's your first template and first experience. But for others it isn't worth much.

Keep working and some time later you may have great results!

Good luck!

 

Thanks for the advice, i shall start my second some time tommorow.

 

try and thin up the border size add some color revamp the your-site.com look all together.

 

I'll be honest:
Value: $2
Rate: 1/10
Why? The site is wayy to basic and not using sleek/web 2.0 style, work on the gridents, text, buttons, and don't make the template just round, play around with it a little, and finally use different colors!

 

Thanks for the honest feedback

 

Yup, Just work on the colors, and don't just have the same round shape, do things differently.

How much more simpler could it get?
