    Hi,

    Here's a design I created myself (I'm no designer but I know what I like), the keyword here is simplicity and a minimalistic design.

    What do you think? Feel free to comment.

    Not bad, I would make the black buttons on the three columns aligned at their bottom edges because the current positioning gives off a strange rhythm

    The layout is OK. But the design is not getable and needs improvement.

    that was intentional. For faster viewing and nobody can just grab the images in high quality.

    I would make it more minimalistic. What Johnhinds says is right. The alignment makes it better. But I would get rid of those leaves as well. In both corners.

    You want eyeballs to go where you have the message, without distractions.

    hmm... taking out more from the layout would make it look like a print preview page, not what I had in mind. How would I emphasize the content in another way?

    Nice Layout :) I think that Green color behind the Home symbol...that green is dark you will Try to add more Light color and Logo is Nice...just improve your button design....Overall its good.

    Hi,
    Nice design, I like it.
    There are some suggestions from my side. If you like them please implement otherwise ignore.

    Logo align to the left of the header box (Home image containing box)
    There are mixture of shapes there. As the logo is round there are all the shapes should be round corner like you placed a green box
    You can use some more spacing between the navigation items.
    Keep space equal to every element if possible.
    Otherwise its very nice concept.

    I hope it will help.

    I'm happy to see that, there are still now HTML coders who are not twittering about Web 2.0 layouts!
    I like your design. It's good.

    You can emphasize your content areas with graphical headers and visual elements that guide the attention of the visitor.

    Nice design, it looks minimalis and refreshing. Just a little susgestions from me:
    remove the black background beside the home image, put the home image to the left, right below your logo, aligned black buttons on the three columns at their bottom edges.

    dont care for it personally, i like more of a twist on something. Something people havent seen before. I know i know.. hard to be original.

    The graphics aren't bad. I would definitely place a background behind your content, maybe a drop shadow container or something of the sort..
