Help on my proxy template?

    I'm brand spanking new to this. I have a good amount of photoshop skills, as well as the ability to move this into HTML format (minus the actual proxy part and the proxified page)

    My question is, what do I need to add, what should go away, what should I change? I spent all of 10 mins on this and if I can turn an hour of work into $10 that'd be great. If i can code if after that and make it $20 that'd be even better. So I want to get good. Expect me to give a few away at first too.

    So, help anyone?

    I'm not lazy or sensitive, so if something sucks (like the underline thing or the background or the button) tell me why and I'll post an update!

    Everything sucks other than the text. Nothing blends, you should look @ other proxy templates. How I start learning anything, I find someone else's, edit it, make it work, then following some tuts and ect you can make your own. good-tutorials.com

    Cool proxy you are using. You should give me the link when it is all finished. I would like to use it.

    Sorry to say that, but I would strongly suggest you not use that kind of image to slice it into a website. This style of websites are left in the 90's

    Keep it as simple as you can.

    Something like www.youtubedownloader.org, or http://www.hidemyass.com/

    Try not to use a colored background, white or gray would be good.

    all you need a query box and a styled submit button, nothing else.

    Are people really not into style when it comes to proxys now? I think I can simplify it color wise but I'm still going to go for a sleek look. I'll give it a shot and try and make a cheap sale... I'm not looking more than $5 for an uncoded and $7 for an HTML coded and maybe $13 for a full proxy coded website. The uncoded just photoshop will take me all of 30 mins and to script it just another 30 mins. For the proxy I will have to learn how...

    Anyway, thanks everyone for your help in me learning!
