    You can better it with a more creative approach.

    These 2 entries look better than the rest.

    C'mon friends, you can do it better. All of those designs are simple photoshop works. Just image pasted and anyone would do it for $5

    But I am ready to spend $10 and want to have something good. I am sure I will get it. Please post a good 'design' rather a simple photo shop work.

    Thanks.

    Sorry but I didnt paste just an image, my work is made from two different images, plus there is pattern overlay in one of my entries.
    It would help if you can tell us what you prefer to see in your header otherwise it is just "shooting into air"
    BTW: you like Natinhos and ixabhays headers more than the rest, however Natinhos header seems to be larger than the dimesion you require.

    My header isn't larger then the required size.
    As a designer and a site builder and one that got a site: The header isn't got to be too much colorful or "beautiful", it shall be professional and looking good with the rest of the site, That's my opinion and i'll go with it forward, It also can become advice for all the designers here.

    The upgrade is on the way.

    EDIT:

    This is the upgraded work alone:

    The upgrade on the site:
    http://eliad.org/uploads/1294878918.jpg

    one more edit: mayB i can change the text location "Home Improvement, Home Care, Home Basics" little down... i'll try it in hour

    Sorry if I am wrong. I just when I look at your header pasted in the website and mine. Your looks higher as it covers the links and extends almost to the upper line.
    It is just a note. I have nothing against you.

    Yeah you right that was my fault, the header was like 20px higher then others and this is my fault (I designed it on the site screen so I was confused maybe)...

    The upgraded header is OK
