[Web-Design] InnocentCraft.

So I'm working on an InnocentCraft site.

This is only my second web design. The background is grey atm, but I can change it if you guys know something better. It is a pretty simple design.
I still isnt done yet ofc.
Please give me tips on how to improve this.

-Added an Update log.
-Added an picture view thingy
-Added head text, with a border under it where a bit info can be placed (might remove the blue stroke, if you think its better without please tell me)
-Added a better border around the picture view thing and the update thing
-Added some info on the Announcement/welcoming part
-Changed the text abouve the border (wich still isnt good -.-)
-Changed navigation text white


The text I added "Updates" and "Pictures", will be changed they suck I know. I might make the buttons smaller but that is up to you.

Design is very bland.
Colors are very dull.
Navigation Separators are too visible.
Navigation Hover seems horribly misaligned.
Template seems very unrelated to minecraft.
Diagonal gradients is not very suitable for websites.

Just my 2 cents.

How can you make something more related to minecraft lawl. Make it more blocky? I said i wasnt done yet, i was going to add colors + pictures and text in the black areas

This definitely needs improvement, the grey doesn't really bother me but the navigation bar needs work. Make them physical buttons they look too attached with the background. Whats the picture doing on the top left corner ?

Edited the seperations.
Failed at the on after "Forum" dont look at that one :)

whoa. a LOT of work needs to be done on this...

Changed some things, hope it imporeved. Please tell me what to change.

It still looks very mis/unaligned, text-formatting is REALLY off, I can barely see what navigation says.

Read up on some tutorials in my opinion, make navigation text white, as black on dark grey is very hard to read and align the template more.
Do NOT be afraid of whitespace for gods sake.

How can you not read the Navigation.

-Changed the navigation text white.

Drop shadow for navigator bar donate text looks weird.
Doesn't seem minecraft related.
Inner shadow and that blue stroke looks bad (IMO).
Try not using a gradient.
Which is the hover? The chat thing over the home button, the donate or blue line.
Your missing a footer.

Well my opinion : Start a new document in photshop and use a Minecraft wallpaper as bg with white content :P.

@GamerSisi, It needs a Minecraft related banner. At the pictures there will be minecraft pics too.

I just dont want to have 1 picture cover the background.

Added Pictures. etc.

honestly, it looks like any other website.
the design is great, but that design has been overused so much.
i think you should try another one but have things put on the side, on the bottom, revolve around the center, etc.

I like your webdesign :)

eww.
