    This is what I have so far in terms of the website design:
    http://www.goya-rank.com/wmtoolkit/webdesign/

    Please let me know what more can be done.. I think it looks ok, but I feel that it's missing something.... All feedback comments and suggestions welcomed.
    Thanks,
    J Fontestad

    i like the overall design, however, the blue (my favorite color) and the white print does not make for easy reading. also, a little too much white space on the right hand side. maybe something visual like photos?

    i think the top strips of blue and green colors are nice, but my own preference would delete the white band in between.

    just my two cents.

    thanks.
    will take this into consideration. given my color palette what colors/ color do you think would look good against that blue background? or should I change that completely.
    i know... the images thing im referring too.... i just can't put my finger on where to place them.
    but anyway thanks for the feedback...
    any other feedback is welcomed

    just pick a color that one can read with ease againt the blue background. i only find the small print hard to read. since you are serving google ads, placing them in the right side may look good. or you can put flicker or any assortment of images in a panel in that white space on the right.

    Nice site but your google adsense ads at the bottom caught my attention. Its not the ad itself but the word 'ads by google' that caught my attention first becos it is black while the title and text are all white. Try to draw people's attention to the ad's title instead of the word ad by google :)

    well i don't think there is anything I can do to change the color of "Ads by Google" I believe it's a default color. Only thing to do would be to put the title in black as well.
    I'm really looking for pointers on to imagery.... I know I need some graphics there to give it a little more of professionalism, but I really can't pin-point on how I would achieve this. I'm looking for advice regarding that, so any will be great.
    Thanks.
