Post My new site... again :)
http://www.gotlag.com/gotlag.jpg

It's for a gaming site I'm making for myself & friends. Trying to get as many suggestions I can while it's still in PS form. Thanks.

Hey, that looks really nice!

I like the use of the bevels and shadows on the side-bar nav menus... It looks sharp with the white lettering.

One suggestion is to brighten it up somewhat... It's really dark on my system...

Also, the font-size is a little small, so I would suggest using at least 9-11 for your size... But I'm using 1280x1024 right now, so for others it may seem fine. You would want to use something that will scale somewhat.

Just some suggestions, but overall, I really like this design!

Keep posting to show us how this site progresses!

I uploaded a slightly different version a hour earlier, I'm not sure if that's the one you saw.

Just a small change in the menu texture, no biggy. As for the colors, I like dark colors . The text size will be bigger once I make it into html format.

One thing I was thinking on changing was the text logo saying "Got Lag?". I am not sure if it looks that nice .

Thanks for the input!

To be honest, I like how the logo looks! Especially the white outer-glow effect.

If you feel something is missing, try using a contrasting colour rather than the blue for the lettering.

It doesn't look bad though.

It looks ok to me after a little nap . I just finished converting it into HTML form and noticed it's missing a good background behind the actual design.

Lindset, is that stylesheet still giving problems? I've loaded the site up on my browser and the source doesn't show it like that.

Looks good converted over! Only one problem... It's too dark! I would suggest using another colour for the outside background.... Maybe a light grey (#CCCCCC) or something of that shade. Maybe even a grid pattern on a light-grey... Just to give it some contrast.

War-Angel,

The site looks really nice! I can see you're slowly building a userbase! Good for you!

One question, how did the site look with a lighter background color?

When I put a light background on, it totally messed up the color scheme. So I just turned it into a blue/purpleish dot pattern.
