Hi, I just made my first design from scratch, it's very simple, here is it : http://omarabid.com Let me know if it's good or bad
I like the soft color combo that you did... work out a good logo with that green in it and add some more content but its a good start...
Depending on the purpose of the site, I would make the color lighter. I like the fact that you hve your social network sites upfront. Hope this helps
Good for you first attempt you could do with a bit more color also top buttons do not work, still good job.
