Great Design IMHO. Just throw in some more content, and perhaps more elements. And also play with a header a little and introduce something more.
Nice, i can't stand the pale black menu bars -not enough contrast. But nowdays a lot of sites do this, so it has to be good. It's very Nintendo style.
I say you can improve the layout and the precision you are working with, especially at corners. I like the colours and the elements and positioning. Good job 'till here.
I'm gonna give it 9/10 because if I visited the page I'd stay on it because of the clear effort put into the page. I knocked a mark off because you spelt 'beginning' wrong. XP Naah, I knocked a mark off because 'looks back over the page' oh dammit 10/10.
My Rate is 7/10 Yes, the design looks good and as well as the color combination. You just need to workout on the bottom part.
It seems to me that the presence of clouds is a misplaced one and not necessary. Consider a more impressive image as replacement.
