Its like my 5th or 6th template. I have never coded a template before and I may give it a try, but I first would like some constructive critisicm (yes, Imprecate, dont even look at this topic unless you finally have something helpful to say) so I can know how to make it better.

I like it.

Could use more navigation, considering all you have there now is very basic content, but that's not what I am supposed to comment on. :P

I love the color scheme, it is very easy on the eyes.

The "slogan" text could use work, but other than that, I like it a lot. The shape in the bottom right hand corner is a nice touch.

Good job. :)

Not too bad, the only thing I don't like is all the gray. Makes it look very dull to me. Other than that good job. :)

Could use a more appealing navigation, or color come to think about it. But... silkscreen is getting old now...

I agree with whoever said work on the slogan text, make it flow better with the rest of the text, it's really outof place right now.

I'd also say that the content boxes, look a little plain. Maybe do something for where the text will go, like a different color section in the box where text will go. And then maybe a moon or somethin in the lower right corner to go a bit with the moon in the design, or some kind of shape. And also do something in the top part to left of where it says "main/sub content | upated xx.xx.xx" That also makes it look unfinished.

Finally, the rounded rectangles on the navigation and log in section look a bit...too large. Especially compared to the rest of the text which all is a smaller size, plus the navigation being caps, and lower case looks a tad off since rest of the text is either one or the other. Fix that up and I think it'd really look...swell I guess I could say lol.

I like the template overall though. I'd also suggest that if you update it, put some text in the content boxes just to get a look of what size/font/color it is to get a better idea of how the template will look. Good job though, looks nice.

Work on some layer effects and more color variations. Slight gradients usually work wonders. And be careful on solid shapes.

Thanks for the comments, I probably should have used a gradient on the shapes.
