Constructive criticism please, how can I improve?
Please Note: The design is still not complete, I have a long way to go until it is finished. I just want some opinions on how it looks so far.

looks too plain. navbar is way too big for a regular one and... well, it's too empty, really.
^^^ What he said.
And get some better fonts.
You should just create a quick slideshow-like bar that shows your main concepts. Don't make a visitor click "read more".
@LolIrvin/AkaInRed - I agree with the plainness, but as I said the layout isn't full complete yet. I still have a lot more to add. What do you mean by the nav bar is too big? How can I make it a sufficient size? And also, 'Get Better Fonts' doesn't really help - what fonts could I use?
Vixua - I already have a slide show, I shall remove the 'Read More' button and use that space for extra information?
The nav bar text is a little too big.
Also try using a different font in the nav bar instead of the same one as the header at the top left.
What fonts?Quote:

It doesn't look remotely childish whatsoever. It looks simple & professional.

I don't put simple and childish on the same page.
Looks okay, 7/10 most of the fonts look oversized also you have potential in making it a lot better.
This is supposed to be a professional-looking template, right? Well with the fonts you used, it looks like a toy store website. That's not what you were looking for at all, I'm guessing.Quote:

Okay, before I complete this post I want to clear up one thing - I haven't been graphic designing for a long length of time, I've only been doing it for about a month so I'm bound to make amateur mistakes. Statements such as "makes it shit" really aren't encouraging, and make me not listen to you.
Anyway, could you suggest some fonts that I could use for the navigation bar and header - at the moment I only have simple font packs, but am looking to extend my font library.
About the size of the navigation bar, quite a few websites have a navigation bar of this size (50px) and some even bigger as it holds the header as well. Please tell me how I'm meant to shorten this?
Thank you Torched, I'll work on this now.
Many thanks Charizard, I keep working on the template to improve it. Hopefully I'll have a professional design at the end.
Have fun not listening.Quote:

Have fun not listening? I am listening. Up until your latest comment I have found none of your so called, 'tips' helpful what so ever.
Many thanks for now posting something decent.
The navbar 'tip' wasn't helpful? Aw, man. :(Quote:

I think the initial information begins too low on the page, that's a turn off for me. Great prices height should also be made a bit smaller, and in taking with the above suggestion that should help with this problem.
The NavBar text is too close to the side of the page, move it a couple more pixels toward the center, however, the header part looks fine. (I would also look into getting a better LOGO, as a good logo is VERY important for a good company. It doesn't necessarily need to be much more then what you've got, but make it something personal, and not just a text font.
I also think the fonts generally look fine. However, perhaps try something a little more structured.. Helvetica or Verdana are personal favourites.
Good luck!
Many thanks :) the navigation text isn't that close on the website, I have a background stretched out over the page, but thanks for the suggestions :)
The navigation looks out of proportion compared to the rest of the website. Other then that it looks like you have a good enough grasp of some of the basics. Continue your development and I am sure you will get better and better as time moves on :thumbup1:.
Way to big for a regular one, I didn't know websites hand standards...Quote:

Way too simple.
Maybe you should think about a team member.
Your strong point is Coding/Scripting am I right?
If yes, You should get in touch with someone who has a strong point in design. It seems like the smartest and easiest thing to do team work is fun.
i think it's simple and nice. but the navigation text is the problem. use smaller size for it. :D
Ah, the advice and replies that some of you guys give is hilarious! Hehe.
Anyway, thanks for the replies.
MOD PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD <3
