    Hello everyone,

    I am attempting to come up with my own template/skin for an IndexScript directory.

    Would appreciate any comments about how to improve the looks and functionality of this.

    I would add a pale beige background color throughout your whole layout so it looks less blank.

    Looks a little empty. Domain name is pretty self-explanatory but would consider putting some text under the logo explaining what you're about. That would help SERPS too methinks. Maybe that part should be a component of the template...

    8everything is right i think.or you can use a background color for the footer.when you add more categories, it can be fine.

    This is just a template. Anyone who uses the template for their directory will add their own text.

    Its too bland. Add some color to the background. Something contrasting will definitely look good but not too shocking.

    Hmm... frankly, I don't like this 'cappucino' colours scheme to much. This could be tweaked a little. But design is clean.

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone. I appreciate all who have taken the time to look at the template and post your thoughts.

    I am creating a second template and will be adding it very soon. I will seriously consider all advice given.
