    I'm not a graphic design pro - but I don't like it. Not seeing the connection between both images in the header.
    What I do know is that a key part of design is that you should make it simple enough that you don't have to explain anything at all. Put yourself in the shoes of your visitors. What does sword of samurai have to do with file frog?

    I do like the name and concept though. I would move that samurai stuff out of the header and expand the header across the page, with maybe a smaller frog hopping up and down.

    Also shorten your page width to prevent users from having to scroll.

    Instead of showing details on image on your main page, why aren't you showing some images?

    Very well designed logo and the colors are nice. Overall very nice and clean design. :) The ad is out of place, though.

    Är du svensk?

    The Filefrog image is supposed to be my Logo for the website while the Samurai banners is an advertising banner. i put them next to each other over the menu cause i had the feeling that it would look better then having the advertising banner between for example the upload form and the menu wich would give the page even more space so users have to scroll.

    And what screensize are you running with? i run 1024 and when i have my page opened in firefox i dont have to scroll at all.

    And why i didint want to show images was because they would take time to load, i want to have as less loading time for the page as possible so users would not abandon me because it was going slow.

    I like it, I like the nice colours, simple layout, BUT you should change how the second banner (advertisement?) in the header comes out of the table.

    Coolt.

    The banner is too big for your header and therefore you have an ugly horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of your page. I don't think it happens on higher than 1024px resolutions, though.

    You can either make it smaller or place it somewhere else. I'd make is smaller, cos it looks good on the top. :)

    I agree with everyone that the ad next to your logo is out of place. As for where it should go i am not sure. Maybe extend your logo to the same size as the ad and put the ad directly under it?

    I like the frog logo, but I do not like them both together.
