Well I think that you have a pretty good start but you have a lot of work to do.

Just about all of the text is almost impossible to read. I had to hover over the buttons and look at the status bar to find out what the pages were.

The body of the document doesn't seem to be expanding across the width of the screen. There is about a one inch gap on the right hand side that looks really strange.

It would be real nice to have some different pictures on the pages instead of seeing the same picture just different colors.

You are going to make the JavaScript and CSS external right?

Well you have a start but you have a lot of work to do. Make the page liquid so that it will expand the size of my screen. When I look at this on my 1280x1024 machine, that right side is going to really annoy me. Make it so I can read it. I should have to wonder what I am looking at or what I'm clicking on.

I think that the arrows for the scrollbar are OK but, the top one needs to be flipped vertically. Not positioned the same way for up and down.

Looks great. I love the orange,yellow, and red elements against the black & white background. The navigation could be a little clearer though.

I love the layout. Usability can always be expendable for creativity-great job.

c0s: CPrompt sums up a lot of my concerns so here are my thoughts:

1. The text in your content area is difficult to read as it is partly overlapped by the graphical borders (and there is occasinally the odd 'blink' from them).

2. The dark part of those borders has a small white border which looks out of place against that black background (I'd get rid of it and it would look smoother).

3. You need keyword and description metatags.

4. That gap on the right is caused by this CSS:

code:
left: 347; .... width: 383px



I'd try using relatively sized DIVs that float so that you can get it to fit on any resolution. Absolute positioning isn't really helping your design (I think you might even be better off with tables as you are already using them!!).

5. The scroll buttons are virtually the same - why not give us a clue that they are scroll buttons.

6. The link buttons across the top are still too subtle.

7. When I go to code and select PHP (actually all of them) the sorry message is so dark it is difficult to even tell if it is there.

8. You're pages would download quicker if the CSS and JavaScript were external.

Overall it is an excelllent (and very individual) look you have there and with a few tweaks it could be very good indeed (esp. as most of the niggles are relatively minor). Good work.
