New mockup. Suggestions?

[iostream.h]

I am one of those people who is constantly re-designing their site, and have made yet another revision. Please tell me what you think.


The current implementation is here .

And for reference my this is my old site.

Very Mac OS Classic looking, I like the old design much better (except that you can't use a scroll wheel to scroll). Even though it's just an example, I don't think it has the potential. Very clean though.

The mockup seems too light and this makes it very hard to read. I was squinting with my face a few inches away from the monitor.

If you want a real challenge for designing your site, take your current site and remove all of the tables and redesign it using CSS.

While it is nice and clean in that it is 'pixel exact', there is basically no design at all. It needs a reason to be! I would evaluate what is it that really sets you apart from others and use that as fuel to push your design in a unique direction.

Keep pushing.

awesome!!!


the new one is awesome, i'm a huge fan of less is more, i love the minimalism, its so much better in my opinion, i know many will disagree

Way too light... like reading through fog or something. Also it looks really Classicy.

no, way to light, even with my gamma.. (set for 2.4) it is light. darken it, at least the text. Other then that, simple, clean, effective, and honestly i would build a site with that theme myself. kudos

 

[iostream.h]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I feel that this design could be really set off with some very vivid, crisp content. I have also made the menu functional, but the DOM stuff it uses is pushing my knowledge, so be patient with the craptastic placing. I can't seem to make it a child of anything else but the main body. The current implementation is here .

EDIT: If anyone knows how I could make that menu a child of another div, I'd GREATLY appreciate it posted here.

EDIT 2: Changed the link to a new URL.

EDIT 3: I figured out how to make it a child of another div.
