website critique

[MadJuggla9]

I've got the general form of what I want; Placement and such. I'm looking for tips, kudos, or flaws

Things I notice:
1) The content area is bland so far and may not be fitting the purpose of a computer store/ISP?

2) The left side can be pushed against the wall with no left margin to save space.

3) One good thing is the site will be lightweight, I will use the top left 3 links to communicate with ajax to reload the div dynamically without reloading the entire page. There will be no mousove images but the page will know what page it's on in order to turn the arrow white.

The right hand side looks very....empty. My suggestion would be to either chop it off (thus making the site fixed-width) or add an extra column in there for "other stuff" and make the whole layout stretchy.

Also, there probably wants to be some whitespace between the header and your email/news/contact box in the top left (I'd suggest the same gap as there is between the main content area and the header).

Nice graphics, though

I would lose the drop shadow behind the CRU Enterprises. It doesn't show well against the dark blue background. Also I would do some research on the use of color. I know green and blue are big in the web 2.0 genre. But you have the wrong shades of blue matching against the green.

Here use this free color scheme generator to get an idea what I'm talking about. Try plugging in your primary color and then looking at the different variations and then go back to your layout and take a second look.

For inspiration I always visit some CSS gallery sites to "steal" I mean gather idea's from.

I'l be finishing up some sort of placeholder for the content, it will be variable width, the top image has a breaking point that will seam.

I forgot to remove the old fonts shadow .... i didn't notice that *taking it off*

The colors are the company colors .... I've done so many pastel colors lately that I wanted something jumpy and bright.
