    Hi,

    I have designed a template and coded the HTML and CSS from scratch. I really like it and I think it looks nice but I can't even find $10 for it. No one seems to be interested.

    Basically, I just want to know if there is something wrong with it or there is anything I can improve upon.

    Thanks for any advice I recieve.

    I like the layout but red is not a good color for web design, try blue or green.

    Also, there is an abundance of free templates so unless yours is really really awesome or custom made to the site you probably won't be able to sell it.

    Just my $0.02

    I like it, but I'd rather just get a free one too

    Create your own site with it - something unique like your template would be good

    Sam, the template is very nice and clean, it's just too generic, add something to give it the pizazz it needs. :)

    math20, red is not a good color for web design? Based on what? That makes absolutely no sense, any color is fine as long as it's used wisely and matched with colors which compliment it and the text is easy to read.

    I'd say only bright blinding colors are bad for web design.

    In general I would say to stay away from that color. There are some exceptions but especially in this case that color is not good. Red makes the site look intimidating.

    The blend is not eye friendly for me...if the whole layout was brown or maroon that is widout the red the site would have looked much better.Design is ok.

    A slightly lighter colour scheme will make the text easier to read
