It’s far from Monochrome at least….just kidding :)

Too much gradients for my taste. Messaging is not clear enough, for example you have the logo in the middle then some wording under it in that rounded box, thumbs next to recent posts, what are they? And so on, you get me?

Headings in sidebar are in ugly color and don’t fit at all. There you have it, brutal answer :D .

Besides that, I think it’s a nice temp and needs more improvement. With a little bit of reordering and attention to details you can make a good one out of it ;)

Cheers.

yeah your layout/idea isn’t bad but it needs quite a bit of work yet to make it truly profitable. Remember just getting it approved doesn’t = sales…

Please accept this as constructive criticism; I like your ideas and creativity.

Personally I’d make the ‘let us colour your life’ bit into a drop-down; it looks ok but would look better if it were something of use that you could hide. I’d use the same gradient you used in the main header (very top) for the sidebar backgrounds (Recent News, Testimonials) and make the sidebar more narrow so you can fit in larger thumbs in the centre. Finally, I’d either turn the header upside-down to become the footer image or drop the footer image in favour of a drop shadow. Maybe even add a barcode style font or something futuristic like the font ‘Federation Bold’. Hmm…..

Nice idea.

Only one question: what happens if an user needs 5 or more buttons in the navigation menu?

you’re right. i plan to fix that in new preview.

i was thinking to make portfolio scroller smaller and put bigger links under the logo (at position over light grey). this way links would be bigger and will be able to put more links.

thank you.

image updated with new link layout.
