    Hi,
    I'm not far off launching www.haglife.com and want to know what you all think of the design below:
    [​IMG]

    What do you think of the nav, colours, sidebars, fonts, footer etc?

    Thanks

    The blogs general theme is improving life (cheaply/for free).
    The blue bit at the bottom is the footer.

    looks like a 2 bit operation. take a look at some other sites and get one main theme down pat. You have to just stuff just alll over the page. Orginize it.

    Just had a click on the url and the design is all over the place! Dunno if you are currently making changes or something but it appears as if there is lots of errors.

    The design on there at the moment is just for the sake of having a design there...
    I'm working on a draft 2 that should look much better.


    What do you all think about getting rid of the images on the logo and just using the text in the middle?

    The stripes in the header makes readability of the menu difficult.

    syndication should be under the search box

    make the images be on the header and have the navigation bar underneath

    I seriously dislike the stripes at the top, try adding some shading/bevel (very light I must add!) to try and give it a nicer feel and look..

    Also, the bottom part of the design [where the content is displayed] seems to be very blocky and simple, nothing jumps out and looks very good really. Improve on the colours, work on shading and you could come out with something nice.

    I will agree with some of the previous posts.

    It's not really my style, but all and all..I give it a C+
