    I am working on a new site, I am a 'newb' to webdesign, this my first attempt at a professional looking site, and I am curious as to how you guys think I am doing so far?

    I am also looking for opinions and suggestions for the colors and pictures, ignore the top logo though as that is just a place holder until I work on it.

    So what do you guys think?

    pretty nice,

    add more glossy glassy look to to colored boxes below.

    buttons look a bit generic.

    But overall well done :D

    you can change :
    Home | Visitor Info | Attractions >> green theme
    Destination Guides | Hiking Outdoors >> blue theme
    Scenic Drives | Hotel | Pictures >> purple theme

    also, align it to the pic if possible..

    oh yeah, a little BG/color/whatever on your header will be nice ..
    and give it sub-text like "Arizona Travel Guide, We Guide You bla bla bla"

    Definitely give the main titles (Discover... Destination... etc) more prominence. The three column layout works pretty well, as it clearly shows there are three sections. But the titles for those sections really need to pop.

    Thanks for the advice, the top logo is just a place holder, I plan to change the tab colors, and I am not sure if I like the colors of the boxes, the pink is a little too much. I will add more prominnce to the titles, I might try to find a good southwest text, like the one in the header, for the titles, would that look good?

    Also, I cannot decide what to do with the background, should I change it to a picture or keep a solid color or what?

    oww..., it's pink. I thought it was purple :lol:

    background ..., hmm..., try to add some gradient color. picture is too much, while solid color is too 'block'. gradient bg will be nice.
